Mother and Daughter.

. 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 Burgeon;" said the witness "But does anybody elee employ you as a surgeon ? Are yon a surgeon! 1 aeked the judge. And thereat the witness collapsed It is claimed for all medicines that they effect cures, though the fact that some do •nd some do no*. Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup has been very extensively used for thirty-five yearp, and is to-day the principal domestic medicine in nixteen different countries. Th number of cures it has effected (especially among persons Pnffering from indigestion and bUiO'JS di-ea^*) i, qtrite inc*lculable. Of the many thousands of testimonials as to its efficacy voluntarily given, here iv an interesting one from a mother and daughter « For , several l years," writes Mrs. Hutchison, of Newcastle Road, Jeamond, N.S W., on October 19th, 1902, « I suffered from indigestion and liver complaint. I oould neither eat, sleep, nor work— in fact, did not know what it was to enjoy a single hour of SfST w?w **?' } W^ •'???! by two of the Everest ™* in the Newcastle district, but their treatment failed to bring me any relief. Indeed, I went steadily downhill, and began to feel that my case was beyond the aid of medioine I grew weakly and thin, and became dejected, when, two years ago, I was advired to try what Mother Seigel s Curative Syrup could do for me. It wan a happy decision, for before I had taken a quarter of the first bottle 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 and sound till the present day. This is a good testimony—testimony to be proud of. But it don't stop here. Mother Feigel s Curative Syrup not only cured Mrs. Hutohison of her indigestion and liver complaint, but, m the case of her daughter Agnes, arrested the progress of an insidious and dargerons malady which, if allowed to range unchecked, might have had fatal results, nereis Mrs. Hutchisons own description of her daughter's case: "My daughter," she Bays, "was in a very bad way. She was suffering from Bevere nervous debility She wasted away to a skeleton, and appeared to have no blood in her body. She was so weakly that she could not walk without assistance, 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 in their treatment of mine so I determined to experiment on her with the medicine which had proved such a boom to myself. The result waa that within two months a few bottles of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup changed her from a helpless invalid to a hearty, healthy, happy girl She remains as well as one oould wish her to be." Mrs. Hutchison is well known in Jesmond and Lambton, and has lived in these places for twenty years. She iB a native of Scotland and came to Australia in 1872. 3
