Some eleven . year*, ago, then a mere boy, he went to ‘ work-in the coal pit a* a miner, in order to assist liii mother,in rearing her family of s litt'e children.

Working through the day, and resting- a* beat be uould in a | arm-chair durmg 'he night, naturally uu ler" mined hia com utiou. Year try year his health grew Worse and worse, until 4( last , rheumatism came with alt its dreadful agony. One joint after another h.came ’ swollen-- and; influoed, an that he was. >- obliged to stop work.

He was given up to die. These years of expensive medical treatment had exhausted the little savings of the. mother, and they had no money to buy even the necessaries of life. But a fond mother never gives up in despair. There was on spark of hope left. Someone had told her of a remedy that cured so many cases—even when as hopeleis as tins one seemed to be and the mother’s love wen out for her dearbiy. B it. how to get tne medicine was the question.
