PAWNING *A PAIS OP TROUSERS FOR MEDICINE. Jambs Fba.kcis TnoMAaTlivea in Ponlnew. ynvdd, near Pontypool, Mommouthshire. He ia now twenty-three years of age. living with his mother, a widow. Some eleven years ago, then a mere hoy, he went to work in the coal pit as a miner, in older to ■assist hie mother in rearing her family cl little children Soon, however, *)io 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-, ng all the time from the effects of indigestion, an agonising symptojh being asthma, in such a troublesome form that the boy was unable to lie in bed./ Working through the day. Un i resting as best ho oonldjn a arm-chair dqring theJnr^tjnatnnllTyundermined his fjoustutien. 7 by year his health grew vijnrse hnd Worse, ; nntj] at last rheumatism camo/ ; itaJHreadful agony. One joint after another became swollen and inflamed, so that he was obliged to stop work./’ln this sad plight the now” young man waji confined to the house for two long years, suffering a’l that mortal could endure. One physician after another was oaUecfnpon 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 ot doctors was held, when it was decided that an organic disease of the Reart existed ia an incurable form, and that niedioal 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 afond mother never gives np 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 he - and the mother’s love went out for her dear boy. But how to get the medicine was the question. Their 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 Pontypou, with the money obtained from the pawnbroker effected a nure in this hopeless case, which had been pronounced as incurable. Bat it is only just to say that if the chemist had known of the wants of the family the medicine could have been obtained without • 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-work, 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 remedy was specially adapted. Those was wish to communicate with this yonug man can write to him at the above address, and ha 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 tact should be made known “James Francis Thomas, of Pontnewynydd, 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, was treated by nearly all the doctors for miles aronnd who generally stated his complaint to be rheumatism and heart •disease of a chronic nature, and beyond all jpower to cure. When hope had nearly died cut, he was persuaded to try Seigal’s Syrup ; .-and, to the delight of his relatives and astonishment ot his neighbours, after taking half a bottle he could he down in bed. After 'taking one bottlehe went to work. Has now taken two bottles, and on with the third, tind is now qnite well and strong. His mother is in raplnres, and can talk of nothing else hnt this marvelous cure, and wishes .me to make it known.” 15th August, 1883.
