Taken ill in the Street.

On the 26th of January. 1898. a young lady, passing through Burton Street, in Darlinghurst, was suddenly taking ill. Fortunately, she was seen by the people of •, houie near by, who conduc ed her within doors, administered a stimulant, and oared for her until she was able to go home. This, you may see, was hardly an incident worth putting in print. That depends on what is signified. To a besieged an* starving garrison the sound of a distant bugle is a matter to make the heart jump. On arriving at her house, we are Borty to Bay. the young lady had a second seizure, and a doctsr was called in. No. it was not the nerves, or a rush of blood to the head ; the symptoms pointed to a thoroughly disordered state of the digestion; ulcerated stomach, probably. So spoke the medical man, after a careful d Tc°h lfl being the doctor's opinion ha P reßcribed on the hn Vu- ggeS *M facts The sequel proved him right, aJheit his "treatment had but little beneficial effect For this he is not to bi blamed, as there are few diseased conditions more difficult to correct that the one he me wHh in this instance.

and attractive meals that could be put on the table I turned away in disgust. " That this was unnatural and alarming of course, I realised ; but what could be done? Hardly a day passed without my suffering agony with a twisting, gnawing feeling in the stomach. " The pleasure and comfort went out of my life aa completely as the sparkle vanishes from a lake on a c'oudy day. "At length I acted on my mother's urgent and repeated advice, and began the use of Mother Seigel'n Syrup. She said it had wrought a wonderful cure on her ; aDd why should it not on me ? So I said yes, and we sent for it. Before I had taken four bott'es the trouble passed away, and I have been a strong, healthy girl ever eince— and that is now eighteen months." — Maud> MoGuinnes-, 158, Burton Street, Dariinghurst, Sydney, N.S.W.
