What Mrs Bowles Found Out.
♦ • A. hard thump on one's head may make it ache, but most headaches come without the aid of thumps or bumps. They are caused by poi ons in the blood acting on the nerves. The same is true of pains and lameness in the muscles of the back and sides — including rheuma ism and lumbago. Mrs Mary Bowles will tell us about hers, and how she got over them at last ; and a thankful women she is for it. " About ten years ago," she lays in her letter, " my back and sides used to ache so bad that I was often perfectly help-ess and prostrate. Sometimes for wetka continuously I could not raise my hand to ar>y kind of work. »• Kor the 'ast thirty-five years I have 'worked at dairying and farming in this district. I am wow turned 76 years old, and am well known throughout the district. " When I first felt th« pains in ray back and chest I went to a chemist, who gave me a plaser to put on. This relieved me s igbtly for a day or two; tlien the pains were as bad as ever. I found out that it rwaß my liver and kidneys that caused the trouble, and was presciibed forjby hree doctors and a cheuiist ; but no good came of all they did. "The pains I suffered in trying to pass the secre ion from the kidneys was terrible ; I could hard y bear them. By this time I was so bad I didn't know what to do or where to turn for help. What would have bf come of me if it had not beeu for Mother Seigel's Syrup I dare not think " But, as a kind Providence rdained it, I saw au advertisement of a ca«e like mine being cured by this medicine, and 1 got a bottle from a cheuist in Ahiswellbrook. That sing c bottle reU'ved me very much, and by eonihming to use the S^rup of ihe go- d Mother Sei»el I g«A well. " I i ow a'.t nd to ray \t rk as I did be- . **fore the con-paint came upon me — thanks to this remedy ihat was brought from England to Australia where it does such a lot of .good. " 1 kppp it aM the time in the house, and always mean to. Aud wlv-n anyljo'v is ill among my acquaintances or fneiids t- 11 them to ake M th.r >> : ge v - Syaip, Cor if anything wi cure the. ■■ t -i uil."— Mrs Mary Bowles Kayuga, n ar Aluswellbrook, N.S.W., Sept. 21st, 1599. The character of Mrs Bowie?, and the truth of the above s atem^n* made b- her, * is vouched for by Mr C. J. Spra t, Auctioneer for ihe Farm' rs f Association, Muswellbrook— who says she has resided in the district 35 yf ars, and he has known her personally for eight years.
