SHE NATURALLY THOUGHT SO.

Mrs Hicken sayß she supposes the doo 'or knew^whai was the matter with Lizzie. Maybe he did, and maybe he didn't. Now, let me have your ear for a quarter of a minute, «■ though you were a tele ph. me, while 1 talk a suggestive truth into It. *Re«d»ny. big medical book, iutelligwli/indlhoneßtly written, and yon will be astonished to find what a lot of diseases therein described are said to be 'of unknown origin; 1 Therefore, the doctor might nob have understood what ailed Lizzie Hicken, and no blame to him. As it was, he wdrked away at the symptoms (the out' tldi'plreienlmenij; you know) and truated to look for results. And he might have strJßc£ it right,} bat he did not, unfortu- j nately; audit' oamto to pass what Mk Hicken ia going to tell us about. It waa in- 1896 that the young girl began to suffer terribly with pains which, as she put it, ' ran right through ' her, partioularly aorois the stomaoh and under the shoulder blades. A continuance of this so prostrated her that she would sometimes be laid up for a month or six weeki. We fancied it was rheumatism, ye£;dtdid notaot quite like that complaint.. ' She was' also greatly troubled with a nasty oough that completely took the powtr out of her. . I called upon the doo tot ffjjfejnjf daughter, and told him. how *h£Bra pd«n hinafed ; and I suppose he knairwhat vra« the matter with her, but, at all events, I am oertain his medicines did her no good. ' Then; I bought her all sorts of cough medlehiei, bat' they had no more effect than ft she had used so muoh water. 'By this time the poor girl could neither eat nor sleep, and you may be aure we were in great worriment and perplexiijy'to knbw what to do. * However, 1 saw one of the Mother Seigel'a Syrup advertisements, and sent to the chemist tor a bottle, and before •he finished it I could see she was better. So we kept on giving her this remedy until the was completely cured. * I have used the Syrup myself for in digestion, and it cured, after I had worn oat a deal of other medicine* to no purpose. * I want to say, so strongly .that there can be no doubt of my meaning, that the entire*efedit for Lizzie's recovery is due to Mother Seigel's Syrup, and also for my own. *We both swear by it, and are seldom without a bottle in the house. I commend it to everybody." — Mrs 3. Hicken, Granamisfcreet, Auburn, N.S.W., Nov. 27th, 1899.
