PAWNING A PA 111 OP TUOt 8.. S POP MEDICINE. James Francis Thomas lives iu Pontn ...- yuydJ, near Pontypool, Mominouth .It >■. Ha is now twenty-three years of ago, a. . with his mother, a widow. Bo.ua eh-v ■< years ago, then a mere boy, lie went . , work in the coal pit as a, miner, iu or . . •assist bis mother in rearing bar fane v little children. Soon, however, the ii. •: fallow broke down in health ; but the ne .■ sides of the family seemed to require , and ho continued to toil in the mines,sur - ing all tho time from the effects of indi, tion, an agonising symptom being aslbi. , in such a troublesome .form that the-; was unable to lie iu bed. Working than. ~ the day, and resting as best he could in ~ arm-chair during the night, natural'y uu , - mined his consiutiou. Year by year (... health grew worse aud worse, nuul at i. rheumatism came wi)h all da dread u. agony. One joint after another becau, swollen and inflamed, so th.at he v 3 obliged to slip work. In this saa plighi .■■ , now young man was confined to the ho for two long years, suffering all that 1110 . .: ceuldeudure. One physician after auoi.i r was called upon to treat his complaint, i = 1 with no bent-lit for the poor fellow tout; . uei to grow worse aud worse. Hoping : . liud some means of relief, a consultaJoa of doctors was held, when it was d ■ cided that an organic disease of too heart existed in an inourablu form, aud th : medical aid could not afford relief, lie w,.given up to die. These years of expense ■ medical exhausted the little savings of and they had u . money to buy even the necessaries of lijV. Bat a fond mother never gives up in despah. There was on spark of hope left. Someo.m had told her of a remedy that curedfcio many cases—even when as hopeless as this one seemed toko aul the mother’s love wen; oat for her dear boy. But how to get trie medicine was the question. Their money was entirely gone The boy had a new pan of trousers that he had been to ill to wean and the mother reasoned within herself, “ i; the boy is to die he will not need them, s > I may as well pledge them for med.ciuo 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 cure in this hopeless ease, which had been pronounced as incurable. But it is only just to say that if the elm-miss had known of the wants of the family ike 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 iu 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 tho heart, as was supposed. The palpitation, rheumatism, and asthma were symptoms of the real disease, which was dyspepsia, or indigestion, for which tho remedy was specially adapted. Those wno wish to communicate with this yoaug man can write to him at the above address, and he will vouch for the curative properties of Seigel’s Syrup, the article that effected this miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, who thought the following fact should be made known : “James Francis Thomas, of Pontuewynydd, near Pontypool, age twenty-three, collier, was ill for nine years, unable to do any work for three years, never lay down in bed for nine years, had to sleep in a stooping posture, wastieated by nearly all the doctors for miles around who generally seated his ' complaint tp be rheumatism »at(d heartdisease of a chronic nature, add beyond a-tl power to cure. Wjaeu hope had-uearly died oat, he was persuaded to try Seigel’s Syrup ; and, to the delight of his relatives and astonishment of his neighbours, after taking half a bottle be 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 raptures, and can talk of nothing else but this marvelous cure, and wishes me to make it known.”

15th August, ISS3. Dear Sir,—l write to toll you that Mr Henry Hillier, of Yatesbury, Wilts, informs mo that he suffered from a severe form of indigestion for upwards of four years, and took no end of doctor’s medicine without the slightest benefit, and’declares Mother Seigel’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 tho best family physio that has ever been discovered. They cleanse the bowels from all irritating substances, and leave them in a healthy condition. They cure costiveness.
