SHE CARRIES IT WITH HER. When Mri Maiy Wron is about to start on a trip to Sydney r hc always packs in her baga bottle- of Mother Seise!'-- Sj-rup. Of course, sli? :» caiefu! to put v where it is not likely to get broken, os -he doe- not wa.it to waste the medicine, ueitber does she want to spoil her things. So fai, lam giad to . she h?s carried her precious bottle without an accident. And when c he gfts horn* to Acacia Cottage, Bridge street, Mtiswtllbrook, New South Wales, she has always reason to be thankful that she took the syiup w;th her. For you must know that on t^e 20th day of September, 1899, Mrs Wien was 75 years old. and 50 of them she has spent in the town of Muswellbi'ook. She has had 15 children. 10 of whom are still Ihmg ; ceitainly a record of which she has a right to be proud. Now. to make this little tale run stiaight, and to keep the kinks out of it, we shall ha\e to harb back to the place where it pioperly stait*. Belter still, perhaps, lo let the good ol 1 lady tell it heiself, as she does in a letter dated 21st of September (next day after her birthday), 1899. " Mo--t of my life," *o "he goes on, ''I had suffeicd from mchge? tion and wind on the stomaoli. I have often been up ha'.f the m&hfc tiying to rcheA c the terrible pains caused by thp wind. "I spent a lot of money on t he essence of ginger and other things, but they all failed miserably. The ce o &ence of ginegr would warm me for a few minutes and then the pains would be on again; just a- a barking oof? begins again after you ha-^ c hit bim with -ometlimsj. That's the way :t was with me. " About fhe years ago I had a very bad time with influenza: and when I was slowly getting over that the indigestion came on wor c e than ever. We couldn't do anything foi it. or with it ; no more could the doctors. " Then an old friend happened in, and she said. 'Why don't you take Mother Seigel's Syrup?' I told her I didn't believe in any of the advertised medicine*. She went on imploring and entreating, and I said she might as well save her breath, for she couldn't mo\e me an inch out of my own opinion. " What does that woman do, but go and buy a bottle without my knowledge, and fetch it to me? Then I gave in and began trying it That very bottle helped, and, after takinj a few bottles more, I was as well as anybody wants to be. _ "Since using Mother Seigel s Syrup I have got ucl of all my pains and aches, and to make =ure of keeping them away I carry a bottle with me wherever I go."— M^RT Wren.
