Year by year bis health grew worn | aud worse until at last rheumatism came with all its dreadful agony. One joint after another became swollen and inflamed, so that he was obliged to
stop work. In this sail plight tlu* 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, lmt with no benefit, for . the )KXjr 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, nnd that medical aid could not afford relief. He was given up to die. These years i of expensive medical treatment had exhausted the little savings of the
mother, and they had no money to buy j even the necessaries of life. There j was one spark of hope left. Someone had told her of a remedy that had cured so many cases even when as 1 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
I new pair of trousers that ho 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 j 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 Polity pool with the money obtained
| from the pawnbroker effected a cure in ! this hopeless case, which had been i pronounced as incurable. But it is i only just to say that if the chemist had I 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 lias been working in the coali pit 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, 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 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 thought the facts should he made known :—“ James Francis Thomas, Of I Pontnewynydd, near Pontvpool, aged i 2d, 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 he rheumatism and heart disease of a chronic nature, and beyond all power to cure. When hope lmd nearly died out he xvas persuaded to try Seigel's Syrup, and to the delight of his relatives and astonishment of his neighbours, after taking half a bottle he could lie down in bed. After taking one bottle he 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 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, Ixenipthonie, Prosser, A Co.'s
