iM*V-UAU A PA 111 OP TltOS UiSKS FOR MEDICINE. James' ynydd, near PoutypnJl, Tiinnmbuth-hVc.' "Ha is now twenty-three ye ns of-age, living with bis motner, a widow. Soma eleven years ago, then a mere liny, he went to work in the coal pit as a miner, in order to assist his m ither in rearing her family of liti’e Children. Soon, however, -he Jit la fellow i>roke down in liealtn ; hut the neces attics of the family eeumed to rt-q die it, and he continued to toi in the mines,suff .-r----ing all the time from the’< Sects of in ugei don, an agpnisiug symptom being iisdimi, in a ich-a truub.esoma form that the boy Was unable Co lie id bed. Working through the day, and resting as beat he could in •' a arm-chair during the nighr,. naturally un ier mined his cent utiun. Year by year bis health grew worse and worse, until at la.it rheumatism came wi.lt ail i s dreadful agony. One j not af.er another n c.aue swollen and nifilined, so that be wna obliged to st >p work. la this sa. plight the now young man was confined to Mis house for two long years, suffering a ! that n’ortd could endure. One physician after another was called upon to treat his c implaint,- b ,t with no benefit for the poor fellow continued to grow worse and worse. Hoping to find tome means of relief, a o insnltadon of doctors was held, when it was de aide 1 that an - organic nutcase of the heart existed in an incurable form, and that medical aid could not afford relief. He was given up to die. / These years of expensive medical treatment had the little savings of the lumber, and they bad no money to buy even the neces»arjei of life. But a fond mother never gives up in despair. There was on spark of hope left. Someone bad told her of a remedy that cured so many Cases—even when as Impels is as this one seemed to be and the mother's luve wen. out for her dear boy. But how to get tne medicine was the question. Their money was entirely gone The b./v bad a new pir of trousers t.iat he had been to ill Co wear, and the mother reasoned within herself, “if the boy is to die he will not nee i th m, so I may as well pledge them for me I.cine with an effort to save his life.” Strange as it may appear, the bottles of medicine procured at the chemist’s shop in Pnntyponl with the money obtained from the pawnbroker effected a cure in tais hopeless case, which had been pronounced as incurable. But it is only just to say that if the chemist hail known of the wants of the family the medicine could have been obtained without a visit to the pawnbroker, Jt is now nearly two years since this took place, and young James Francis Thomas has been working in the coal-pit un le-ground ever since, earn, ing extra pay for over-wetk, which he is able to perform. Of course, he never had organic disease of th- heart, as was suppose I. The palpitation, rheumatism, and asthma were symptoms of thereat disease, which. : whs dyspepsia; or indigestion, for which the rente y was specially adapted. Those who wish to coiumuuicate with this young man can write to him at tne above ad lies?, am I he will vouch for the curative properties of Seigel’s Syrup, .the a ucl- that effected this almost miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, wlto thought ne following fact should be ' made known:— “ James Francis Thomas, offoiunewynyd i, neari.Poiiiyp.iol, .age twenty three, collier, was ill fur nine years, u able’ to do any work f r three yean, never lay down in b d fir nine y>«is, hail to seep in a stooping p,3 ture, was ti anted by nearly all the doctors for milt* aroim-l- who genera ly state I his complaint to be rbcumatinn and heart disease of a chronic na ure, and beyond all power to cure. W lien hope hid nearly died out, be was persna led to try Seigel’s Syiup ; ami, to the d dight of bis relativ, s and astonishment of his neigh boms after taking half a bottle he co.Jd lie down in bed. After taking oue bottle he went to wo k., Has now taken two bottles, and on with the tnird, amt is now quite well and s’rong. His mother is in >aotui-es, and can talk ot noth iugelse but this marvelous cure, and wishes me to make it known.’’ 15th August, 1883. Dear Sir, —I write to toll you tha. .Vir Henry Hillier, of Yates- ury. Wilts informs mo that he s ffered from a save e form of , nligestiou for upwards of four y-.ars, and 1 look no end of dooto.’s medicine without the slightest benefit, and dec.ares Mother Sm el’s Syrup which he got from me has , saved his life. Yours truly, (signed) N, Webb Mr White, Chemist, Caine Seigel’s Operating Pills are tbs best family physic that has ever been discovered, they cleanse the bowels from all irdialing substances, and leave them in a healthy condition. They cure costiveness.
