Year by year hi# health grew worse and worse until at last rheumatism c.nne with all its dreadful agony. One joint after another became swollen and inflamed, so that lie 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 hi - complaint, hut with no benefit, for the poor fellotV 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 lie had been too ill to wear, and the mother reasoned within herself, “ If the boy is to die lie will not need tliem, sol 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 I’ontypool with the money obtained from tlie pawnbroker effected a cure in this hopeless case, which had been pronounced as incurable, liut 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 coalpit under-ground ever since, earning extra pay for overwork, which lie is able to perform. Of course he never had organic disease of the heart, as supposed. The palpitation, rheumatism, and asthma were mere symptoms of the real disease, which 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 lie will vouch for
vears, years, years. the curative properties of Seigcl s Syrup, the article that affected this almost miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, who thought the facts should l>e made known James Francis Thomas, of l’ontnewvnydd, near I‘ontvpool, aged 2J, collier, was ill for nine unahle to do any work for three never lay down in bed for nine 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 he was persuaded to try Seigel's Syrup, and to the delight of his relatives and astonishm nt of his neighbours, after taking half a bottle he could lie down in bed. After taking one bottle he went to work, lias now taken two bottles, and on with a third, and is ijuite well and strong. 11 is mother is in raptures, and can talk of nothing else but this marvellous cure, and wishes me to make it known."
