PAWNING A. PAIR OP TROUSERS . FOR MEDICINE. James Francis Thomas lives in Ponlnewynydd, near Pontypool, Mommputhshire, He is now twenty-three years of age, living with hia 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 of little children. Soon, however, the little fellow broke down in health ; but the neoesstties of the family seemed to require it, and he continued to toil in the mines, suffer* ing all the time from the effects of indigostmn, an agonising symptom being asthma, | in such a troublesome 'form that the 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 constution. Year by'"year his health grew worse and worse, until at last rheumatism came wiih 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, 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 find 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 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 ber of a remedy that cured so many cases—even when as hopeless as this one seemed to bo and the mother’s love went out for her dear boy. But how to get the medicine was the question, money was entirely gone The boy had a new pair of trousers that he had been to ill to wean 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 < ffeoted a cure in this hopeless case which had been pronounced as incurable! But it is only just to say that it the chemkt 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 tbe coal-pit underground ever since, earning extra pay for over-woik, 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 tha remedy was specially adapted. Those wno wish to communicate with this young man can write to him at tbe above address, aud 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 tha following fact should be made known: “James Francis Thomas, of Pontnewynydd, near Pontypool, age twenty-three, collier, was ill for nine years, uuable to do any work fur 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 na' ure, and beyond all power to cure. When hope had nearly died out, lie was persuaded to try Seigel’s Syrup ; and, to the delight of his relative's and astunishment 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 raptures, and can talk ol nothing else but this marvelous cure, aud wishes mo to make it known.”
