A Veteran Nurse’s Letter.

MES SCOTT, OP' BRUNSWICK. TALKS ABOUT MOTHER SEIGEL’S SYRUP AND ITS CUEING POWER.

The wonders of one age are the everyday things of another. If two centuries ago a man had shown an excellent photograph of some well-known perso without first explaining the process b,\ which he had been able to procure i, he would surely have been burnt as n wizard in any European country. It, when easy-tempered, stupid George 111, ascended the English throne in 1760, anyone had declared that a conversation could be carried on between two persons as far apart as the cities of Melbourne and Sydney he would promptly have been judged fit for a lunatic asylum. But we must not laugh too readily at our ancestors, for oven in these “ advanced” days wo 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, 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 our own country, where her services are much in'request 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 15th, 1905, of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup “ Speaking as attained surgical nurse, with the accumulated experience of forty years, I say that Mother Seigel’s Syrup is the best medicine in the world for use at the two most critical periods in 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 he used with advantage in almost all complaints, and one bottle of it in the home is worth, in medicinal value, the entire contents of on ordinary medicine chest. 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-known merchants of that city, specially imported a quantity of it for me, from London. The investment was well rewarded, for I soon regained ray 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 oc casion, too, the aid of Mother Seigel’s 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 by me, and whenever I feel the need of medicine, as even the most robust will do occasionally, if they would preserve their health, I take 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.”
