])nt when a doctor— who ia a Sori of captain when one ia laid up in the dry cJcok of sickness — orders a patient to go abroad for the benefit of his health, it is quite another thing. A trip fcnfl sojourn away from home is an expensive prescription, and most of us can't afford it. If the doctor says it is a choice between that and the graveyard we shall have to settle on the graveyard ; it is handy by. and eaiy to get tp; But are tvo really so hard pushed 1 That is, as often aB the doctors say We are ? Let's turn the matter over In our ihinai for a minute. . Here is a case that is pat to the purpose. It concerns Mr Arthur Whiddon Melhuish, of 9, BegenVs Terrace,. Polsloe Boad, Exeter ; and for the details we are in-, deb Jed to a letter writen by him, dated March 7th, 1893. He mentions that, in obedience to tho orders of his doctors, he went to Cannep, in the aouth of France, in November, 1890. and spent tho winter there. H6 asb spent tile following winter at the same place, tie felt the better fof j the change ; we will tell you why presetitly. But he obtained no radical benefit, which also we wi 1 explain later on. It appears that this gentleman had been weak and ailing nearly all his life ; not exactly il), not wholly well— a condition that constantly calls for caution. In March, 1890, he had a severe attack of inflammation of the lungs, Sow I want ttie reader to honour me with his best attention, as 1 muSt fifty a few words what ought properly to take many. Shoot an arrow into the air— as I straight up as you can. You can't lell where it will fall. It may fall on a neighbour's head, on your own, or on a child's, ioi on the paVement. Everybody's blood contains tnofe or less poiaptiotis elemental These are arroWSj bat unlike your Wooden arrow they always strike on the weakest spot, or spots.) in the body; If- they hit the muscles and joints we call It liter Complaint or billiousness ; if they hit the kidneys we call it Bright's disease ; if they hit the nerves we call it nervous prostration, apilepsy) or any of fifty other names ; if they hit the bronchial tubeS we call it bronchitis &c. ; if they hit the air ctlts we call it inflammation of the lungs, or by-and-by, consumption. And inasmuch as these poisoned arrows pass through the delicate meshes of the lungs a thousand times every day it would be odd if they didn't hit them— wouldn't it ? Now, wait a bit ; It follows that all the the various so-called diseases above named are not disease* at all in and of themselves, but merely sympton3 of the only disease — namely, that diseases which produces the poison 1 Good. We will get on to the end of the story. After the ailack of lung inflammation Mr Mellui h suffered from loss of appetite, pain in the chest, sides, and stomach, and daugerou? constipation. He cou'd eat only liquid food and had to take to his bed. For weeks he was so feeble that he could not rise in bed. He consulted one physician after another, obtaining no more than temporary relief .from medicine. Then he was ordered abroad as we have related. His letter concludes in these words : "Whilst at Cannes I consulted a doctor who said my ailment was weak digestion, and that I need not trouble abotit my lungs. But I never gained .ray real ground umil November, 1891, when I began to take Mother SeigePa Curative Byrup. This helped me in one week, and by continuing \ with it I got stronger and stronger, and am now in fair good health. Tin?, after my relatives thought I should never recover. (Sgned) Arthur Whiddon Mellnish." To sum up : This gentleman's real ailment was indigestion and dyspep?ia, 4 /Vo7« which the blood poison comes that causes nearly all disorders and pains. The air of Southern France helped him temporarily, because it is milder than ours ; it did not remove the poison. By care and the use of Mother Seigel's Syrup he woti'il have done better at home, ns the result shows. ] So we see that it isn't the climate thnt j kills or saves ; it is the condition of the digestion. If therefore your doctor orders you abroad for your health, tell him you will first try Mother Seigel's Cnrativa Ryrup. | ■ i i i
