WHY HE DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL

My object m writing is two-fold ; to express my gratitude for a great benefit, and to tell a short story which cannot fail to interest the feelings of many others. It is all about myself, but I have remarked that when a man tells. the honest truth about himself he is all the more likely to be of use to his fellow-creatures. To begin, then, you must know I had long been more or less subject to attacks of bran chitig, a complaint that you are awar« is very common and troublesome m Great Britain m pertain seasons of the year. Some months ago I had a very severe turn of it, worse, I think than I ever had before. It was probably brought on by catching cold, as we all are ap* t» when we least expect it. Weeks passed by, and my trouble proved tq be very obstinate It would not yield to medicine, and as I also began to have violent racking pains m my I limbs and back, I became greatly alarmed. I could neither eat nor 6leep. If I had been a eeble, sicky. man, I shou d have thought less strangely of it ; but as, on the contrary, I was hearty and robusts I feared some new and terrible thing had got hold of me, which might make strength of do avail against it. I say, hat was the way I thought. j} U |. I didn't want to go to the hospital. Who does* when he tbinks he can possibly get along without it ? I am a laboring man, with a large family depending on me for support, and I migh l almost as well be m my grave as to be laid o n mv back m a hospital unable to lift a hand t or months, or God only knows how long. Right at this point I had a thought flash across my mind like a stream of sunshine m a cloudy day. I had heard and read about -fttothet SMgel's Curative Syrup, and I resolved, before consenting to be taken to the hospital, I would try that well-known remedy. <On this I gave up the doctor's medicine and began taking the •Syrup. Mark the wonderful result 1 I had tfenbut tiiietdosfti wUtyo twiatrfow bo^|

when I was seized with a fit of coughing, and threw up the phlegm and mucus off my chest by the mouthful. The Syrup had loosened and broken it up. Continui ig with the Syrup, the raoking pain, which I believe came from 'and joints, soon left me entirely, an-i I the bitter and poisonous humours m my blood felt like going to sleep, and I did sleep sound and quiet. Then I felt hungry, wfrh a natural appetite, and as I ate I soon got strong and well. In a week I was able to go to my work again. It doesn't seem possible, yet it is true, and the neighbours know it. And, therefore, when I say I preach the good news of the great power 1 of Seigel's Syrup to cure pian and disease far and widef nobody will wonder at me.
