Mother and Daughter.

It is rpmarkab'e howgreatly onr estimate , of ourselves and oar qualities differs from the estimate-formed of ua 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 buying themselves back on the basis of other peoples notion of their worth. The more numerous and the harder the blows aimed at our self-conceit in the days of our youth, the better for ns. They pulverise, as it were, the worser part of our nature, and nothing survives the process but what deserves to endure. “ And what are you ?” asked a Lord* Chief Justice of England of a witness.who had just given some rambling and discreditable evidence. “ I employ myself as a surgeon,” said the witness. “ But does anyone else employ you as a surgeon ? Are you a surgeon ? ” asked the judge. Andthe wiiam^ollapsed.

It is claimed for all medicines that they effect cares, though the fact is. that some do and some do not. Mother Seigei'fi Curative Syrup has been very extensively used for thirty-five years, and is to day the principal domestic medicine in sixteen different countries. The number of cures It has affected (especially among persons Buffering from indigestion aud bilious disease! is quite incalculable. Of the many tnouiands of testimonials as to its ■ efficacy voluntarily given, hero is an interesting one from a mother and daughter. "For several years,” writes Mrs Hutchison, of Newcastle Road, Jesmoad, N.S.W., on October 19th, 1902. “ I Auffered agonies from indigestion and Oliver complaint. I could neither eat, sleep, nor work-in fact, did not know what it was to enjoy a single hour of freedom from pain, I was attended by two o! the cleverest medical men in the Newcastle district, but their treatment failed to bring me any relief. Indeed, I went steadily downhill, and began to fear that my case was beyond the aid of medicine. I grew weakly and thin, and became dejected, when, two years ago, I was advised to try what Mother Sdgel’s Curative Syrup could do for me. It was . a happy decision, for before I had taken a quarter of the first bott'e my health was much improved. I continued to take the medicine according to the directions for five weeks, by the end of which time I was cured, The cure is evidently a permanent one, for I have remained well aud sound to the present day,” ■ This is a good testimony—testimony, to be proud of. But. it don’t stop .here. Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup not only cured Mrs Hutchison of her indigestion and liver complaint, hut in the case of her daughter Agnes, arrested the progress of an insidious and dangerous malady Which, if allowed to range unchecked, might have had fatal, results. Here is Mrs Hutchison’s own description of her daughter’s case: "Mydaughter 1 ” she says, •' was in a very bad way. was suffering from severe nervous debility. She wasted away to a skeleton, and appeared to have no bipod in her body. She was so" wepkiy that 1 she could not walk without (tßsisstanoe,' and was often compelled'to keep to bed lor days together. The doctors seemed to be much in the dark as to her ailment, aud as impotent in treating her case as they had been in their treatment of mine, so I to experiment on her with the medicine which had proved such a boom to myself. The. result was that within two months a few bottles of Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup changed her from a helpless invalid into a hearty, healthy, happy girl. She remains as. well ashne Could wishher to be.”
