pawnimj a pair of trousers FOR MEDICINE. James Francis Thomas lives in Pontnowyny,ia. near Poutypool, Mommnuthshire. Ha is now twenty-three years of ago, living •with his mother, a widow. Some eleven years ago. then a mere hoy, he went to work in the coal pit ns a miner, in order to agent his mother in rearing her family cf litt'o chihlron. Soon, however, the little fellow broke down in health ; but the necessities of the family seemed to require it, «u-l ho continued to toil in the mines, sufferng 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 bod. Working through the day. and resting as best he could m a arm-chair during the night, naturally undermined his constutiou. Year by year his health grow worse and worse, until at last rheumatism came with all its dreadful agony. One joint after another became swollen and inflamed, so that ho was obliged to stop work. In this sad plight the now° yonng man was confined to the house for two long years, suffering all that mortal could enduro.' Ono physician after another was called upon to troat.his complaint, hut 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 the little savings of the mother, andf they had no money to buy evcj»-4ha- necessaries of life. But a fond mothewneverkiiys up in despair. There was on sparfifof Mqjp lift./ qojpeone had told her of a r6friofj#,that fcred sA-many cases—oven when ns hopeless £s this one seemed to bo - and the pother’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 hoy 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 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 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 tonic place, ami young James Francis Thomas has been working in ■the coal-pit underground over since, earning extra pay for over-wetk, which he is able to perform. Of course, ho 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 yonng man can write to him at the above address, and ho will vouch for the curative properties of Beigel’s Syrup, the act’ds that effected this almost miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, who thought the following fact should he made known : •‘James Francis Thomas, of Fontnewynydd, near Pnntypool, age twenty-three, collier, was ill for nine years, unable to do any work lor three years, never lay down in bod for nine years, had to sleep in a stooping posture, wastieatcd by nearly all the doctors for miles aronnd who genera 1 !y stated his complaint to ho rheumatism and heart •disease of a chronic nature, and beyond all power to cure. When hope had nearly died •out, he was persuaded to try Scigel’s Syrup ; end, to the delightof his relatives and astonishment of his neighbours, after taking half a bottle he could he down in bed. After taking one bottlohe 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 ot nothing else but this marvelous cure, and wishes •mo to make it known.” intlr August, 1883.
