SHE NATURALLY THOUGHT SO.

Mrs Bioken says she supposes the doo tor knew what was the matter with L ; zzte. .Maybe he did, and msybe he didn't. Now, let me have your ear for a quarter of a minute, as though you were a telephone, while 1 talk a suggestive truth into it. Bead any big medical book, intelligently and honestly written, and you will bVastdnished to find what a lot of dieesses therein described are said to be ' of unhuywn origin.' Therefore, the doctor might not have understood what ailed Lizzie Hicken, and no blame to him. As it was, he worked away at the symptoms (the outside presentments, you know) and trusted to lock for rea.ults. And he might have struck it right, But he «fid not, unfortu- 1 nstejjj; and it, came to pass what Mrs HMkeii Is going to tell us about. It was in 1896 that the young girl began to suffer terribly with pains which, as she pot it, * ran right through ' her, particularly across the stomach and under the shoulder blades. A continuance of this so' prostrated her that she would sometimes be laid up for a month or six weeks. We fancied it was rheumatism, yet it did 'not aot quite like that comphilat.^ • She wss also greatly troubled with a nasty cough that ' completely took the power but of bar. I called upon the doo tor with my daughter, and told him how she had be n handled ; and I suppose he knew: what vu the matter with her, but, at alt eventa, I am. certain his medicines did her no good. ' Then I bought her all sorts of cough mediolnes, but they had no more effect than if sho had used io much water. IBy this time the ' poor girl could neither eat nor and you may, be sure we were in great worriment and peiplexity to know-wbat to do. 'However,,! saw one of the Mother Seigel's Syrup advertisements, and sent to the chemist tor a bottle, and before she finished it I could see Bhe wss better. So we kept on giving her this remedy until she was completely cured. * I have used the Syrup myself for in digestion, and it cured, after I had worn out a deal of other medicines to no purpose. ' I want to say, so strongly that there can be no doubt of my meaning, that the entire credit for Lzzie'a recovery is due to Mother Seigel'o Syrup, and also for my own. 4 We both swear by it, and are seldom without a bottle' in tbe house. . I commend it to everybody." — Mrs J. Hioken, Graham-street, Auburn, N.S.W., Nov. 27th,*1899._
