SHE CARRIES IT WITH HER.

When Mrs Mary Wren is about to start on a trip to Sydney she always packs iif .her bag a bottle of Mother Seigel's Syrup Of course, she is careful to pub it Arheie it is not likely .to get bvoken, as she does nob want to waste the medicine, neither does she want to .spoil her things. So fai. I am glad to say, she has carried her precious bottle without an accident.

And when she gets home to Acacia Cottage, Bridge Street, Muswcllbrook, New South Wales, she has always reason to be thankful Ilia* she took the Syrup with her. I'ur, you oust know, that on"the 2Cth day of September, 1899, Mrs Wren was 75 years old, and fcfty of them, she had spent in the town of'Muswellbrook. fehe has had fifteen children, ten of whom are still living; certainly a record of which ihe has a right to be proud. Now, to make this little tale run straight; and to keep the kinks out of il, we sna/ll have to. hark back to the place where it properly starts. Better still, perhaps, to let the good old lady tell it herself, as she does in a letter dated 21st of September' (next day after her birthda"), 1899. "Most of my life," so she goes on, "I, had suffered from indigestion and winii" nn the stomach. I have, often been up half the night trying to relievo the terrible pains caused by the wind. ..... "I spent a lot of mor>'"*^j sa ii«**'R!S£n~ct? of gingerj^j J »jgiiegißffl3BsTout they ail faile4-rrßlSeralbly. Tins essence of g.uger j would warm me for a few minutes, and then the pains would be on again; just as a barking dog begins again after you have hit him with something. That's the way it was with me. "About five years ago I had a- very bad time with influenza; and when I was slowly getting over that the indigestion came on worse thaax ever. We couldn't do anything for it, or with it; no more couid the doctors.. "Then an old friend happened in, and she said, 'Why don't you take Mother Seigel's Syrup?' I told her I didn't believe in any of the advertised medicines. She went on imploring and entreating, and. I said -she might as -well save her breath, for she couldn't move me an inch out of my opinions. WhaJ> does that, woman do but go and buy a bt-ttle without my knowledg, and fetch it io m<>? Then I gave in and began trying, it. That very bottle helped, and,-> after\tokmg a few botties more, I was as wel tts anybody wants to be.

"Since using Mother Seigel's Syrup I have got rid of all pains and aches, and to make sure of keeping them away^ l carry a bottle with mo wherever i go. — Xi Mr William John Davison, Saddle and Harness Maker, of Muswellbrook, wn* thThc has known Mrs Wren for 30 years, and the public may put fui'. faith in eve, / word sha says.
