Mother and Daughter.

It is remareable how greatly our estimate of ourselves and oar qualities differs from the estimate formed of us by others. If the thing were practicable, many folks would realise heavily by selling themselves at their own valuation (if they could find customers), and afterwards busting themselves back on the basis of other people’s notion of their wor:h. The more numerous and'the harder the blows aimed at onr self•onceit in the days of our youth, the better for us. They pulverise, as it were, the worser part of our nature, and nothing survives the process but what deserves to endure. ** And what are yon?" asked a Lord Chief Justice of England of a witness who had jnst civen some rambling and discreditable evidence. “ I employ myself as a surgeon,” said the witness. “ But does anybody else employ you as a s-u’-geon ? are you a xuryeant" asked the jir ! ge. And thereat the witness collapsed. It is claimed for all medicine that they effect cures, though the fact is that some do and some do not. Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup has been expensively used tor thirty-five years, and is to-day the principal domestic medicine in sixteen different countries. The number of cures it has effected (especially among persons suffering from indigtstion and bilious diseases) is qnite incalculable. Of the many thousands of testimonials as to its efficacy voluntarily given, here as an interesting one from a mother and daughter. “ For sever.il years,” writes Mrs Hutchison, of Newcastle Road, JesmoTid, N.S.W., on October 10th, 1902. “I suffered agonies from indigestion and liver complaints. I. con’d neither eat, sleep nor work—in fact, did not know what it was to enjoy a single hour of freedom from pain. 1 was attended by two of the cleverest medical men in the Newcastle district, but their treatment fa. led :o bring me any relief. Indee ’, I went steadily downhill, and began to fear that my case was bevond the aid of med d e. I»re* weakly and thin and became dejected, when, two years ago, 1 was advised to try whit Mother Sergei's Curative Syrup coaid do for me. It was a happy decision, for before I had taken a quarter of the first b rttle my health was much improved. I continued to take the medicine according to the directions for five weeks, by the end of which time L wag cured. The cure is evidently a perma t one, for I h-ve reman.ed well and sound to tbe present diy.” + . This is a goo > testimony—testimony to be prtudr f. But it don't stop here. Mother Seigei’a Curative Syrup not only cured Mrs Hutchison of her indigestion and liver comcomplaint, but in the case of her daughter Agnes, arrested the progress of an insidious and dangerons mila.lv which, if all >wed to range unchecked, might have had fatal re suits. ere is Mrs Hutchison's own description of herdanguier’s case : “ My she says, " was in a very bid w iy. She was suffering from severe nervous ehility. Shn wasted -.way to a skeleton, and appeared to have no blood in her body, She wa< °o weak that she could not walk without as-ia anc-*, and wasoftei ompelled to keep t> i>ed for days together The doctors seemed to be much in the dark as to her ailment, and as impotnet in treating her cise as they had b-en in .heir treatment of mine, so I determined to exp riment on her with the meclici-e which h‘d pr ved such a b >on to myseff. The result was that within two month*a few liotiles of Mother eige ’s Curative Syrup chmged her from a helpless invalid into a he.ity, healthy and happy girl. She remait s .s well as one coaid wish her to be.’’

Mrs Hutchison is well known in Jesmond and Lambton, and has lived in these places for twenty \ears. She is a native of Scotland, and came to Auatialia in 1872.
