PAWNING V PAIR OP TROUSERS FOR; MEDICINE. James Francis Thomas lives in Ponlnewyiiydil, near Pontypool, Monmouthshire. Ho is now twenty-three years of age, living with his mother, a widow. Some eleven years ago, then a mere boy, ho went to work in the coal pit as a miner, in order to assist his mother in rearing her family cf little children. Soon, however, the little fellow broke down in health ; but the necessities of the family seemed to require it, am! he continued to toil in the mines, suffers iug all the time from the effects of indigestion, an agonising symptom being aslbma, in such a troublesome .form that the boy was unable to lie in bed. Working through the day, and resting as best hacoul.l 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 wijh all its dreadful agony. One joint after another became swollen and inflamed, so that ho was obliged to stop work. In this Slid plight the now young man was confined to the house for two long years, suffering 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 And some means of relief, a consultation of doctors was held, when it was decided that 'an organic disease 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 exhausted the little savings of the mother, and they had no money to bny even the necessaries of life. But a fond mother never gives up in despair. There was oil spatk of hope left. Someone had told her of a remedy that curedso many cases—oven when as hopeless as this one seemed to be and the mother’s love wen, out for her dear boy. But how to get the medicine Was the question. Their money wai entirely gone The boy had a new p -ir f of trousers t tat he ha 1 been to ill to wean and the mother reasoned within herself, “if the boy is to die he will not nee t them, so I may as well pledge them for medicine with an effort to save uis life.” Strange as it may appear, the bottles of medicine procured at tne chemist’s •-liop in Pontypool with the money . obtained from the pawnbroker effected a cure in t.ds hopeless case, which had been pronounced as incurable. Bat it is only just to say that if thechemist had known of the wants of the family the .medicine coul bhave 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-wcik, 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 teal disease, which was dyspepsia, or indigestion, for which the reme iy was specially adapted. Those who wish 10 communicate with this young 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 almost miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, who thought the following fact should be made known : “James Francis Thomas, of Poutnewyny-ld, near Pontypool, age twenty-three, collier, was ill for nine years, u able to do any work for three years, never lay down in bed for nine years, had to sleep in a stooping pisture, wastieate.l by nearly all the doctors for' miles arnnnJ who genera ly stated his complaint to be rheumatism and heart disease of a chronic ua lire, and beyond all power to cure. When hope had nearly died out, he was persuaded to try iSeigoi’s Syrup ; ami, to the d dight of his relatives and astonishment of his neighbours, after taking half a bottle he could lie down in bed. After taking one bottle he went to woik. Has now taken two bottles, and on with the third, and is now quite well and strong. His mother is in rajfcures, and can talk ut notbingeise but this marvelous euro, and wishes me to make it known.” loth August, 18S3. Dear Sir, —I writ" to teb you that Mr Henry Hiiiier, of Yatesbury. Wilts, informs me that he suffered from a Severn form of Indigestion for upwards of four years, and look no end of doctor’s medicine without the slightest benefit, and declares Mother Sahel's Syrup which ho got from me has saved his life. Yours truly, (signed) N. Webb Mr White, Chemist. Caine Seigel’s 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 heathy condition.
