PAWNING A PAIR OF TROSUERS FOR MEDICINE.

James Francis Ihomas lives in Ponlnewynydd, near Boinypuol, Aioinmouthsh.re. He is now twenty-three yens of ago, living with his mother, a widow. Some eleven years ago, then a more boy, he went to work in thu coal pit us a miner, in order to usT.c bis mother in rearing her family of Iti e ohi (lieu. Soon, however, die litilo fellow oroks down in health ; hut the neees. sities of the family seemed to require it, air', liecou inued to toi in the ininea, mffering all thu time from thu i fleets of in.iigei lion, an agonising symptom being asihmi, ill s toll a ir.iul) esoine form that thu hoy wis unable to lie in bud. Working thruugu th i day, an I resting as best he eniild in a arm-chair during ibu night, naturally uu ter mined his cons utimi. Year by year Ins health grew wmse and worse, until at last rheumatism cone wiih all its dreadful agony. One joint af.ur anoiher o came swollen and inflamed, So that he was mdige i to st 'p Work. In this sad p ight the now young man was Confined to the bo.S; for two long years, Buffeiing a 1 that n.ort.l could endure. One physician after auotber was c tiled upon to tie.it his a -mpiaiiit, b :t wuh no benefit for the poor fellow continued to grow worse and worse. Hoping tu find some means of relief, a consulta-ion of doctors was held, when it was de ci ted that an organic i hie,.so of tae heart exis ed in an incurable form, a d that undiual aid could not afford relief. He was given up to die. These years ol expensive me deal treatment had ex aunel thi little savings of the mo hj r, and they had nn money to buy even the neces«aties of life. But afou I m ir.her never gives up in despair. L’here was on ap.nk of hope left. tiouico..e had told her 01 a remedy that cured so many cases—even when as taopeleis as this one seeine I to be and the mother’s love wen out for her dear bay. Bat how to get tne medicine was the question. Their money wa- en.irely gone Tne byha i a new p n of trous. rs t at he ha 1 been o ill to wea , and the nether reasoned within herself, *• if the boy is to die he wi.l nut nee i th m, so I may as well pie ige them lor medicine with an eff >rt io save ids life.” Strange ait may appear, the iiottles of medicine pioou.ed at the chemist’s hop in Pontypum wiih the money obialiied from the pawn broker ■ fleeted a cure in t ds hopeless ease, which had been pronounced as incurable Bat it is only just to say that if the chemist had known of tne wants of the family the medicine coni I have been obtained without a visit to the pawnbroker. It is now nearly two years s noe this took place, ami young Janies Francis Thomas has been woikmg in cue coal-pit underground ever since, earning extra pay for over-wtik, which he is able to perform. Of course, he never had organic disease of th • heart, as w as suppose I. The palpitadon, ihemnat sm, and asthma were symptoms of the teal disease, which w. a dyspepsia, or indigestion, for winch the remedy was specially adapted. Those who wish to communicate wiih t iis young man can write to him at tne above address, and he will vouch for the curative propmties of Seigel’s Syrup, the aiticlj that effected this almost miraculous carp. The following letter is from a chemist, who thought he following fact should be made known:— “James Francis Thomas, of Pontnewynyd.l, near Polity puol, age twenty three, collier, was ill for nine years, u able to do any work f r three yeaifl, nev.-r lay down in bed fur nine years, had to sleep in a stoopim; p .s tare, was treated by nearly all the doctors for miles an.nnd who genera ly state I his complaint to be rheumatism and heart disease of a chronic na ure, and beyond all power to cure. When hope had nearly died out, he was persuaded to try Seigel’s Syrup j and, to the d-light of his relatives mid astonishment of his neighbours, after taking half a bottle he could lie down in bed. After taking one bottle lie went to wo k. Has now taken two bottles, and on with the third, and is now quite well and strong. His mother is in routines, and can talk of nothing else but this marvelous cure, and wishes me to make it known.” I
