It has been well said that Memory is left us to sweeten the days of our advancing years. That memories of the past can be equally sweet to all alike is, of course, impossible. But this much is certain : that many of our painful experiences, when recalled, come with added bitterness, because of the knowledge that thoy might have been avoided. This reflection is prompted by reading a letter from Mr W. Hughf, which is typical of many thousands that we have received from all parts of our scattered Empire. Writing on July 25, 1915, from 31 Rutland street, Pctrio Terrace, Brisbane, Queensland, he said: "My recollection of Mother Seigel n Syrup extends back to my boyhood's day*, for it was the remedy which my mother used to always give mo whenever anything went smiss with my health. But my own best experience of it was .gained some threQ years back in Sydney, N.S.W.

I procured a bottle, and beforo it was emptied I felt like a new man. Tho wind ceased to roll about in my stomach and rise to my throat, my appetite revived, and I quickly recovered all my old-time energy, strength, and cheerfulness. Each dose of the remedy infused new vigour and vitality into my system, and after using it for a ipw W eeks I was so well that I could not wish to be better. Mother Seigel'e Syrup is ( a medicine of superlative worth and merit." On tho first sign of Stomach or Liver Trouble, take the world-renowned remedy, Mother' Seigel*a Syrup, and ensure that vour memories do not become nightmares.
