What Mrs Bowles Found Out.
A haed thump on one's bead may make it ache, but most headaches come without the aid of thumps or bumps. They are caused by poisons in the blood acting on the nerves. The same is true of pains and lameness in the muscles of the back and sides—including rheumatism and lumbago. Mrs Mary Bowles will tell us about hers, and how she got over them at last ; and a thankful woman she is for it. " About ten years ago," she says in her letter, " my back and sides used to ache so bad that I was often perfectly helpless and prostrate. Sometimes for weeks continuously I could not raise my hand to any kind of work, "For the last thirty-five years I have worked at dairying and farming in this district, tarn now turned 76 years old, and am well known throughout the district. " Whan I first felt the pains in my back and stomach, I went to a chemist, who gave me a plaster to put on. This relieved me slightly for a day or two ; then the pains were as bad as ever. I found out that it was my liver and kidneys that caused the trouble, and was prescribed for by three doctors and a? chemist ; but no good came of all they did. "The pains I suffered in trying to pass the secretion from the kidneys were terrible ; I could hardly bear them. By this time I was so bad I didn't know what to do or where to turn for help. What would have become of me if it had not been for Mother Seigel's Syrup I dare not think. " But, as a kind Providence ordained it, I saw an advertisement of a case like mine being cured by that medicine, and I got a bottle from a chemist in Muswellbrook. That single bottle relieved me very much, apd by continuing to use the Syrup of the good Mn*her Seigel I got well. 11 1 vow uuei-iu 10 uiy ftoik as I did before the complaint came upon me — thanks to this remedy that was brought from England to Australia, where it does such a lot of good. - " I keep it all the time in the house, and always mean to. And when anybody is il*' among my acquaintances or friends, 1 tell them to take Mother Seigel's Syrup, for if anything will cure them, that will." — Mrs Mary Bowles, Kayuga,- near Muswellbrook, N.S.W., Sept. 21st, 1899. The character of Mrs Bowles, an 4 the truth of the statement made by her, is vouched for by Mr C. J. Spratt, auctioneer for the Farmers' Association, Muswellbrook, who says she has resided in the district 35 years, and be has known her personally for eight years.
