MOTHER AND DAUGHTER,

It ie remarkable how greatly o*ir estimate of ourselves acid our qualities differs from the estimate formed of us ¥y others. * If the thing were practicable, many folks would] xealise heavily by selling themselves at their own valuation (if they could find customers), and afterwards buying themselves back on the basis of otlior people's notion of their worth. Tiie more numerous and the harder the blows aimed at our e-alf-coneeit in the days of our youth, the better for us. They pulverise, as it were, the worser part of our nature, and nothing survives the process but what deserves to endure. "And what are you?" asked a Lord Chief Justice of England of a witness who had just given some rambling and discreditable evidence. "I employ myself as a surgeon," said the witness. " But dec? anybody else employ you as a surgeon? Are you a.suegeox?" asked the judge. And thereat the witness collapsed. It is claimed for all medicines that they effect cures, though the fact is that some do and some do not. Moher Seigl's Curative Syrup has been very extensively used for 35 y<ars, and is to-day the principal domestic medicine in 16 different countries. The m.mber of curns it has effected (especially among persons suffering from indigestion : and bilious diseases) is quite incalculable. j Of the many thousands of testimonials as to t its . efficacy voluntarily given, here is au interesting one from a mother and daughter. i " For several year*," writes Mrs Hutchison, of Xewcas'lc road, Jesmond. N.S.W., on October 19, 1902, " I suffered agonies and indigestion and liver complaint. I could neither" cat, sle-en, nor work — in fact, did .not know what it was to enjoy a single hour of freedom from pain. I was attended by two of the cleverest medical men in the Newcastle district, but .their treatment failed to bring me any relief. Inde«d. I went steadily downhill, and began to fear that my erije was beyond the aid of medicine. I grow wea'<ly and thin, ar.d became dejected, when, two years ago, I was advised to try what Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup could do for me. It was a hapr.y decision, for before I had taken a quarter of. the first hoi tie mv health wa« much improved. I continued to take the medicine according to the directions for five weeks, by the end of which time I was cured. The cure is evidently a permanent one. for I have remained well and sound to the present day." This w good testimony — testimony to be proud of. But it don't stop here. Mother feeigel's Curative .Syrup not only cured Mrs Hutchison of her indigesticn and liver com- ! plaint, but, in the cas=e of her daughter Agnes, arrested the progres* of an insidious and dangerous malady which, if allowed to rage unchecked, might have had fatal results. Here is Mrs Hutchison's own description of her daughter's case : "My daughter," she uays, " was in p. very bad way. She was suffering from severe nervous debility. She wasted away to a skeleton, and appeared to have no blood in her body. She was so weakly that she could not walk ■without assistance, and was often compelled to t «keep to bed for days together. The doctors seemed to be much in the dark as to her ailment, and as impotent in treating her case as they had been in their treatment of mine, so I determined to experiment on her with the medicine whioh had proved euch a boon to myself. The result was that within two months a few bottles of Mother Seigel'e Curative Syrup changed her from a helpless in-valid into a hearty, healthy, happy girl. She remains as well as one could wish her to be." Mrs Hutchison is well known In Jesmond and Lambton, and has lived in these places for 20 years. She is a native of Scotland, and came to Australia in 1872.
