SHE NATURALLY THOUGHT SO.

Mrs, Hickeu says she supposes the doctbr knew what was tho matter with Lizzie. ■

Maybo ho did, and maybe he didn't. Now, let iho have your car for a quarter of a minuto, as though you wero'a telephone, while I talk a suggestive truth into it. Read any big medical book, intelligently and honestly written, and you will be astonished to find what a lot of diseases therein described are said to be "of unknown origin.'' Therefore, tho doctor might -not have understood what ailed Irizzio Hicken, and no blamo to him. As it was' ho worked away at tho symptoms (the outsido presentments, you lenow)' aud trusted to luck for results. 'And ho might have struck it right, but ho did not, unfortunately; and it came to pass what Mrs Hickon is gding to tell us about.

It was 'in 1896 that tho young girl began to • suffer terribly with pains which, as she put it, "ran _ right through" her, particularly across stomach and under tho shoulder blades. A continuancb of this so prostrated her that, sho would sometimes be laid up for a month or six weeks. AYe fancied it was rheumatism, yet it did not act liko that complaint. "Sho was also greatly troubled, with a nasty cough that completely took the power out of her. I called upon the doctor with my daughter and told him how sho had been h al 'dled; and I suppose he know what was the matter with nor, but, at all events, I am certain his medicines did her no good. "Then. I bought her all sorts of cough medicines, but they had no more effect than if she had used so much water.

"By this timo the poor, girl could neither oat nor sleep, and you may bo suro w« were in" great worrinlent and perplexity to know what to ao. "However, I saw one of tho Mother Seigel's Syrup advertisements, and sent to the chemist for a bottle, and before sho finished it I could sec she was better. So we kept on giving her this remedy until she was completely cured." "I hayo used the Syrup myself for indigestion, and it cured, after I liad worn out a deal of other medicines to no "purpose. "Ilwant to say, so strongly that there can be no doubt of my meaning, that tho entire credit for Lizzio's recovery is due to Mother Seigcl's Syrup, and also for my own. "Wo both swear by it, and aro seldom without a bottle in the house. I commend it to everybody."— Mrs J. Hicken, Graham Street, Auburn, N.S.W., Novembor 27tb, 1899.
