PAWNING A PAIU OF TROUSERS I FOR MEDICINE. James Francis Thomas lives in PonlnewI ynyild, 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, he went to work in the coal pit as a miner, in order to assist mother in rearing her family cf htc'e children. Soon, however, the little fellow 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 the boy was unable to lie in be 1. Wo-k-ng 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 wi)h all. its dreadful agony. One joint after another became swollen and inflamed, so that ha 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 pour 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 andncnrable form, and that medical aid could not aff >rd 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 boy eveo the necessaries of life. But a fond mother never gives up in despair. There was on spark of hone left. Someone had told her of a remedy that cured so many cases—even when as hopeless as this one seeme I 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 biy had a new pir of trousers to at he had been to ill to wean and the mother reasoned within herself, “if the hoy is to die he will not nee I them, so I may as well pie Ige 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 Pontypoo,' whh the money obtained from the pawnbroker effected a cure in this hopeless case, which had been pronounced as incurable. B it it is only just to say that if the chemist had known of the wants of the family the medicine coul 1 have been obtained without a visit to the pawnbroker. It is now neaily two years s-nci this took place, and young James Francis Thomas has been working in the coal-pit un lerground ever since, earn, ing extra pay for over-wetk, 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 remely was specially adapted. Those was wish to communicate with this young man can write to him at the above address, anil he will vouch for the curative properties nf Seigel’s Syrup, the a’ ticla that effected this miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, who thought the following fact should be made known : “ -Tames Francis Thomas, of Pontnewyny Id, 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 p >sture, wvsdeate I by nearly all the doctors for miles arc.nnd 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, he was persuaded to try Seigel’s Syrup ; and, to the (I‘ligtlt of bin relati vea and astonishment of his neighbours, after taking half a bottle he could he 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 raptures, and can talk ot nothing else but this marvelous cure, and wishes me to make it known.” 15th August, ISB3. Dear Sir,—l write to toll you that Mr Henry Hilliir, of Yates'-ury. Wilts, informs me tbit he suffered from a seve e form of in ligeatioii for upwards of four years, and took no end of doctor’s medicine without the slightest benefit, and declares Mother Seitel’s Syrup which he got from me has saved his life.
