year by year his health grew worse and worse until at last rheumatism came 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 af‘er another was called upon to treat 1— complaint, but with no benefit, for the poor fellow continued to grow worse and worse. Hoping to find some means of relief, a consultation ol 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 exliaustod 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 ono seemed to be—and the mother’s love went out for her dear l>oy. But how to get the medicine was the question. Their money was entirely gone. The hoy 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 lie will not need them, so I 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 Pontypool with the money obtained from the pawnbroker effected a cure in this hopeless case, which had been pronounced as incurable. But 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 he 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 he will vouch for the curative properties of Seigel s Syrup, the article that affected this almost miraculous cure. The followii g letter is from a chemist, who thought the facts should be made known : —“ James Francis Thomas, of Pontnewynydd, near Pontypool, aged 23, collier, was ill for nine years, unable to do any work for three years, never lav down in bed for nine years, hud to sleep in a stooping posture, was treated by nearly all the doctors for miles around, who generally stated his complaint to he rheumatism aud 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, anil to the delight of lus relatives and astonishment of his neighbours, after taking half a bottle he could lie down in bed. After taking one liottle 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.”
