Mother and Daughter.

It is remarkable how greatly our estimate , of ourselves and our qualities differs from the estimate formed of us by others. If the thing ware practicable, many folks would realise heavi'y by selling themselves at their own valuation (if they oould find customers), and afterwards buying themselves book on the basis of other people s 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 us. They pulverise, as it were, the worser part of,our nature, and nothing survives the process but what deserves to i endure. " And what are you ? ” asked a 1 Lord Chief Justice of England of a wit- j ness who had just given some rambling and discreditable evidence. "I employ ■ myself as a surgeon, ’’ said tha witness. " But does anyone else employ you as a surgeon ? Are you a surgeon ? ” asked the judge. And the witness ool'apsed. It is claimed for all medicines that they •fleet cures, though the fact is that some do and some do not. Mother Seigel’a . Curative Syrup has been very extensively used for thirty-five years, and is to day the principa domestic medicine in sixteen different countries. The number of cures It has affected (especially among persons suffering from indigestion and bilious disease) is quite incalculable. Of the many thousands 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, Jesmond, N.S.’W., on October 19th, 1902. I suffered agonies from indigestion and liver 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 of the cleverest medical men in the Nowcastle 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 S igel’a Curative Syrup could do for me. It was a happy decision, for before I had taken a quarter of the first hott’e my h- alth was ranch Improved. I continued to take the medicine according to the directions for five weeks, by the end of which time I was outea. The cure is evidently a permanent one, for I have remained well and sound to the present day.” . . . This is a good testimony—testimony to be proud of. But it don’t stop here. Mother Seigel’a Curative Syrup not only cured Mrs Hutchison of her indigestion and liver complaint, but in the case of her daughter Agnes, arrested the progress of as insidious and dangerous malady which, if allowed to range unchecked, might have had fa;al results. Here is Mrs Hutchison’s own ■description of her daughter's case: "My daughter’” she says. “ was in a very bad way. Bh o was Buffering from severe nervous debility. She wasted away to skeleton, - and appeared to have no blood m her body. She was so weakly that she oould not walk without assisstanoe, and was often compelled to keep to bed for days together. The doctors seemed to be much in the dark as to her ailment, and as impotent in treating her case as they had been m their treatment of mine, so I det ermined 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 wall aeona oould wish her to be."
