Year by year his health grew worse 1 and worse until at last rheumatism j came with all its dreadful agony. One joint after another became swollen and j inflamed, so tiiat he was obliged to j stop work. In this sad plight the now j young man was confined to the house I for two long years, suffering all that | mortal could endure. One physician | after another was called upon to treat i his complaint, but with no benafit, for i 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. Hut 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 hu will not need them, sol may as well pledge them for medicine with an effort to save his Lite.” Strange as it may appear, the bottles of medicine ! procured at the chemist's shop in IPontvpool with the money obtained from the pawnbroker effected a cure in this hopeless case, which had been pronounced as incurable. Hut it is only just to say that if the chemist hud | known of the wants of the family, the ; medicine could have been obtained without it 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 lie never ; had organic disease of the heart, as , supposed. The palpitation, rlieuma--1 tisiu, and asthma were mere symptoms of the real disease, which was dyspepsia, or indigestion, for which the remedy was specially adapted. Those who wisli to communicate with this young man can write to him at the above address, and he will vouch for ' the curative properties of Seigel s Syrup, the article that affected this almost miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, who i thought the facts should be made known ;—“ James Francis Thomas, of ' Poiitiiewynydd, near Pontypool, aged I 23, collier, was ill for nine years, | unable to do any work for three years, ; never lay down in bed for nine years, | bad 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 disi use of a chronic nature, and I beyond all power to cure. When hope bad nearly died out he was persuaded : t > try Seigel’s Syrup, and t:> the delight of Ins relatives and astonish- | ment of his neighbours, after taking 1 ball'a bottle be could lie down in bed. After taking one bottle lie went to work. Has now taken two bottles, and on with a third, and is quite well and strong. His mother is in raptures, and ran talk of nothing else but this marvellous cure, and wishes me to , make it known.” Seigel s Syrup is sold by all Client - ; ists and Medicine Vendors, and by the proprietors, A.
