PAWNING A PAIR OF TROUSERS FOE MEDICINE, Jambs Francis Thomas lives in Ponlnewynyill, near Pontypnol, Mommouthshire. He 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 ns a miner, in order to assist his mother in rearing her family cf litt’e children. Soon, however, the little fellow broke down in health ; but the necessities of the family seemed to require it, and be continued to toil in the mines, suffer-. ne 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 bed. Working through the day, and resting as best ho could in a arm-chair during the night, naturally undermined his constution, JYear by year his health grew worse and “worse, until at last rheumatism, P dreadful agony. Orfe join* bffcer I another became swollen and. inflamed, /soi thaw he was obliged to stop wo rip la this so cl slight the now for two lojy/ycarC suffering fall that mortal conld endure- One physician after another was called upon to Beat 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 her of a remedy that enrol so many cases even when as hopeless as this one seemed to be - and the mother’s love went out for her dear hoy. 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 shoo in Pontypoo, with the money obtained from the pawnbroker effected a cure 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 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 conrfee, he never had organic disease of the heart, us 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 young man can write to him at the above address, and he will vouch for the curative properties of Seigel’a Syrup, the article that effected this almost miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, who thought the following fact should be made known: — “ James Francis Thomas, of Pontnewynydd, near Pontypool, age twenty-three, collier, was ili 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, wastreated by nearly all the doctors for miles around who generally stated his . complaint to be rheumatism and heart . disease of a chronic nature, and beyond all power to cure. When hope had nearly died . out, be was persuaded to try Seigel’s Syrup ; ; and, to the delight of his relatives and astonishment of his neighbours, after taking half a bottle ho conld he down in bed. After taking oae 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 of nothing else but this marvelous cure, and wishes me to make it known.” 15th August, 18S3, Dear Sir, —I write to tell you that Mr Henry Hillier, of Yatesbury, Wilts, informs me that he suffered from a severe form of Indigestion for upwards of four years, and took no end of doctor’s medicine without the slightest benefit, and declares Mother Seirol’s Syrup which he got from me has saved his life.
