PAW.NI.SG A PAIR OP TROUSERS FOR MEDICINE. James Francis Thomas lives in Pontnewynydd, near Pontypool, Mommouthshire. Ho is now twenty-three years of age, living ■with his mother, a widow. Some, eleven years ago, then a mere boy, he went to work in the coal pit as a miner, in order to assist his mother in rearing her family ef little children. Soon, however, the little follow broke down in health ; but the necessities of the family seemed to require it, and he continued to toil in the mines, suffer* ing all the time from the effects of indigestion, an agonising symptom being asthma, in such a troublesome 'form that thej boy was unable to lie in bed. Working through the day, and resting as best he could in a arm-chair during the night, naturally undermined his consiution, Year by year his health grew worse and worse, until at last rheumatism came wi?h all its dreadful agony. One joint after another became swollen and inflamed, so that he was obliged to stop work. In this sad plight the now young man was confined to the house for two long years, Buffering all that mortal could endure. One physician after another was called upon to treat his complaint, but with no benefit for the poor fellow continued to grow worse and worse. Hoping to find some means of relief, a consultation of doctors was held, when it was decided that an organic disease of tlie 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 ex h au»ted 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 hopeless as this one seemed to be and the mother’s love went out for her dear boy. But how to get tne medicine was, the question. Their money was entirely gone The boy had a new pHr of trousers that he had been to ill to wear, and the mother reasoned within herself, “ if the boy is to die he will not need them, so I may as well pledge them for medicine with an effort to save his life.” Strange as it may appear, the bottles of medicine procured at the chemist’s shop in Pontypool with the money obtained from the pawnbroker effected a nure in tins hopeless case, which bad been pronounced as incurable. But it is only just to say that if the chemist had known of the wants of the family the medicine could have been obtained without a visit to the pawnbroker. It is now nearly two years since this took place, and young James Francis Thomas has been working in the coal-pit underground ever since, earning extra pay for over-work, which he is able to perform. Of course, he never had organic disease of the heart, as was supposed. The palpitation, rheumatism, and asthma were symptoms of the real disease, which was dyspepsia, or indigestion, for which the remedy was specially adapted. Those who wish to communicate with this young man nan write to him at the above address, and he will vouch for the curative properties of SeigeTs Syrup, the article that effected this almost miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, who thought he following fact should be made known:— “James Francis Thomas, of Pontnewynydd, near Pontypool, age twenty-three, collier, was ill for nine years, unable to do any wor for three years, never lay down in bed for nine years, had to sleep in a stooping posture, wastreated by nearly all the doctors "for miles around who generally stated his •complaint to be rheumatism and heart •disease of a chronic nature, and beyond all power to cure. When hope had nearly died •out, he was persuaded to try SeigeTs Syrup ; and, to the delight of his relatives and astonishment of his neighbours, after taking half a bottle he could he down in bed. After taking one bottle he went to work. Has now taken two bottles, and on with the third, and is now quite well and strong. His mother is in raotnres, and can talk ot nothing else but this marvelous cure, and wishes mo to make it known.” 15th August, 1883, Dear Sir,—l writn to tell you that Mr Henry Hillier, of Yatesbury. Wilts, informs me that he suffered from a seveieform of indigestion for upwards of four years, and took no end of doctor’s medicine without the slightest benefit, and declares Mother BeßeTs Syrup which he got from me has saved his life. Yours truly, (signed) N. Webb Mr White, Chemist, Caine SeigeTs Operating Pills are the best family physic that has ever been discovered. They cleanse the bowels from all irritating substances, and leave them in a healthy condition. They cure costiveness.
