A Veteran Nurse’s Letter.

MRS SCOTT, OP BRUNSWICK, TALKS ABOUT MOTHER SEIGEL’S SYRUP AND ITS CURING POWER.

The wonders of one age are the everyday things of another. If two centuries ago a man bad shown an excellent photograph of some well-known person without first explaining the process by which be had been able to procure it, he would surely have been burnt as a wizard in any European country. If, when easy-tempered, stupid George HI. ascended the English throne in 1760, anyone had declared that a conversation could be carried - 0 fcefcwasn two persons a .® -«r apart as the cities of Melbourne and Sydney be would promptly have been judged 'fit for a lilnatib asylum. Bui wd must not laugh too readily at our ancestors, for even in these “ advanced” days we have not entirely emerged from the fog of unthinking unbelief.

But the opinion of a veteran expert is beyond suspicion. To say that Nurse Sadie Scott t of 1, Station street, Brunswick, Victoria, is a veteran In her profession, at the head in skill and experience, is merely saying what is wellknown in Brunswick, North Carlton, Fitzroy and Preston. Now in her sixtyfifth year, but in appearance full twenty years younger than that, Mrs Scott has gained her unrivalled experience in England, Scotland, New Zealand, and Ott • own country, where her services are much injrequest by the leading surgeons of Melbourne. The opinion of such a person upon any medical matter could not fail to be of real value. Here is what Nurse Scott has to say, under date of April 16th, 1905, of Mother Selgel's Curative Syrup:— " Speaking as a trained surgical nurse, with the accumulated experience of forty years, t say that Mother Selgel’s Syrup is the best medicine in the world lor use at the two most critical periods !u a woman’s life. Taken at the right time, it dispels pain, and often averts years of ill-health and suffering. In cases of indigestion and dyspepsia, however produced, it gives almost immediate relief, removes constipation and biliousness, ensures regular action of the liver and bowels, enriches and purifies the blood, and in all respects builds up and gives energy to the most debilitated constitution. It is a general remedy that may be used with advantage in almost all complaints, and one bottle of it in the home is worth, in medicinal value, the entire contents of an ordinary medicine cheat. On. two occasions, when I was thoroughly run down through overwork, and on the brink of serious illness, a timely recourse to Mother Seigel’s Syrup has turned the threatened danger aside and set me on my feet again. •‘I believe, but am not quite sure, that I am the first person who used Mother Seigel’s Syrup in New Zealand. It was in Dunedin, more than twenty years ago, that I first required that medicine, and Messrs Church and Ching, well-knpwn merchants of that city, specially imported a quantity of it for me, from London. The investment was well rewarded, for I soon regained my health. Again, several years later, when following my profession at the Maternity Hospital, Edinburgh (Scotland), I broke down through overwork, and was laid aside for weeks, suffering from exhaustion. On this occasion, too, the aid of Mother Seigel’a Syrup was invoked, with the result that. I was soon able to resume my duties in perfect health. I always keep Mother Seigel's Syrup bv me, and wbeneyer I feel the need of medicine, as even the most robust will do occasionally, if they would preserve their health, 1 taka a few doses, and it never fails of the desired effect. What I have here said is simple truth, dictated solely by a desire to render service to the sick and suffering, and with no other object whatever.”
