Year by year his health grew worn j«nd wonic until at laat rheumatism * a,n? with all its dreadful agony. One Joint after another became swollen and inflamed, so that he was obliged to stop work. In this sad plight the now young man was confined to the house for two long years, suffering all that mortal could endure. One physician after another was called upon 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 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. There was one spark of hope left. Someone had told her of a remedy that had cured so many cases even when as hopeless as this one seemed to be—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 too ill to wear, 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 effart to save his lite.” Strange as it may appear, the bottle* of medicine procured at the chemist's shop in Pontypool with the money obtained from the pawnbroker efloated a cure in this hopeless ease, which had been pronounced as insurable. But it is only jus t 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 coalpit under-ground ever since, earning extra pay for overwork, which he is able to perform. Of course he never had orgnuic disease of the heart, as supposed. The palpitation, rheumatism, and asthma were mere symptoms of the real disease, winch was dyspepsia, or indigestion, for which the remedy was specially adapted. Those who wish to communicate with this young man can write to him at the above address, and he will vouch for the curative properties of Scigel s Syrup, the article that affected this almost miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, who thought the facts should be madu known :—“ James Francis Thomas, of Pontnewynydd, near Pontypool, aged 28, 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 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 lie was persuaded to try Seigel's Syrup, and to the delight of his relatives and astonishment of his neighbours, after taking half a bottle lie could lie down in bed. After taking one bottle he went to work. Has now taken two bottles, and on with a third, Kid is quite well and strong. Ilis mother is in raptures, and can talk of nothing else but this marvellous cure, and wishes me to make it known.” Seigel s Syrup is sold by all Chemists and Medicine Vendors, and by the proprietors, A. J. White (Limited), London, England, or the Wholesale Agents, Kempthorne, Prosser, A Co.’s New Zealand Drug Company ( Limited), Dunedin, Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington, August 16, 1888. Dear Sir, —I write to inform you that Mr Henry Hillier, of Yatesbury, Wilts, informs me that he suffered from a severe form of indigestion for upwards of four jears, Kid took no end of doctor's medicine without the slightest benefit.
