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 oaused by poisons in the blood aoting on the nerves. The same is true of pains and lameness in the muscles of the back and sides — including rheumatism and lumbago. Mrs Mary Bowles will tell as about hers, and how she got over them at last ; and a thankful women she is for it. " About ten years ago," she says in her letter, " my back and sides need to ache so bad that I was often perfectly helpless and prostrate. Sometimes for weeks continuously I could not raise my hand to any kind of work. •• For the last thirty-fiva years I have worked at dairying and fanning in this district. I am now turned 76 years old, and am well known throughout the district. " When I first felt the pains in my back and chest I went to a chemist, who gave me a plaster to put on. This relieved me s ightly for a day or two ; then the pains were as bad as ever. I found out that it was my liver and kidneys that oaused the trouble, and was prescribed forjbv tbre* dootors and a chemist ; bat no gooa came of ail they did. " The pains I suffered in trying to psaa the secretion from the kidneys was terrible; I could hardly bear them. By this time I was so bad I didn't know what to do or where to turn for help. What would hare become of me if it had not been for Mother Seigel's Syrup I dare not think. " But, as a kind Providence ordained it, I saw an advertisement of a case like mine being cured by this medicine, and I got a bottle from a chemist in Mnswellbrook. That single bottle relieved me very much, and by continuing to use the Syrup of the good Mother Seigel I got well. " I now attend to my work as I did before the complaint came upon me— thanks to this remedy that was brought from EnA land to Australia where it does such a lot of good. " I keep it all the time in the house, and always mean to. And when anybody is ill

among my acquaintances or friends I tell them to take Mother Seigel's Syrup, for if anything will cure them that will."— Mrs Mary Bowles, Eayuga, near Muswollbrook, Bf.S.W., Sept. 21st, 1899.
