VVWXIMJ IA PAIR OF TROUSERS FOR MEDICI SB. James Francis Thomas lives in Ponlnewvnyd.i, near Poutypool, Mommouthshire. He is now twenty-throe years of age, living with his mother, a widow. Some eleven years ago, then a more boy, ho 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, 'he little fellow broke down in health ; but the necesmties of the family seemed to require it, and he continued to toil in the mines, suffer;, ne all the time from the effects of indigostion, an agonising symptom being asthma, in suuh a troublesome form that the boy was uuable to lie in bed. Working through the day, and resting as best he could in a arm-chair daring the night, naturally undermined Lis 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 inflametU so that he was obliged to atop work. In this sari plight the now" young man wadconfined to the house for two lefcg yeans, suffering all that mortal could endl&tte. ''’One after another was called but with nolheuerft fqf the ,pooj«£fi“low continued to grow worst and'worrf. Hoping to find some meansof relief, a consultation of doctors was jifeld, 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 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 tor her dear boy. But how to get tHo medicine was the question. Their money was entirely gone. The boy had a new pdr ■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 tho chemist’s shop in Pontypoo, with the money obtained from the pawnbroker effected a euro in this hopeless case, which had been pronounced as incurable. ■But it is only just to say that if the chemist huchknown 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-werk, 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 fy was specially adapted. Those was wish To communicate with this young man eau write to him at tl.e above address, and he will vouch for the curative properties of tSeigel’a Syrup, vhearticU that effected this almost miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, who thought the ■following fact should be made known •‘.Tames Francis Thomas, of Pontnewynydd, near Pontypoo), 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, bad to sleep in a stooping posf are, wasttcated by nearly all the doctors for miles around who generally stated bis - complaint to he rheumatism and heart • disease of a chronic na : are, and beyond all . power to cure. When hope had nearly died ■ „ut. he was persuaded to try Seigel’s %rup ; - and, to the delightof his relatives and astonishment of his neighbours, after taking half a bottle ho could he down in bed. After t thing oue bottle ho went to wotk. Has now lakentwo bottles, and on with the third, nmt is now quite well and strong. His mother is in raptures, and can talk of nothing else hut this marvelous cure, and wishes mo to make it known.” Dear Sir, —I write to tell you that Mr ’ Henry Hillier, of Yateshury, Wilts, informs mo that he suffered from a severe form of ■ indigestion for upwards of four years, and t ook’ no end of doctor’s medicine without ■the slightest benefit, and declares Mother ■ S titel’s’Syrup which he got from me has his life.
