WHY HE DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

HE COULD LEAP THROUGH THE AIR. My oljsot in writing ia twofold : to expipbi my gratitude for a great benefit, and to tell a abort itory which cannot fail to interest the feeling) of many others. It is all about myceli, but I have remarked that when a man tella the honest truth about himielf ho ii all the more likely to be of nae tohii fellow creatures. To begin, then, you must know I had been long more or less subject to attacks of bronchitis, a complaint that you are aware is very common and troublesome in Great Britain in certain seasons of the year. Some months ago I had a very severe tarn of it, worse, I think, than I ever bad before. It was probably brought on by my catching cold, as we are all apt to do when we least expect it. Weeks passed by, and my trouble proved to be vary obstinate. I ; would not yie d to medicine, and as I also began to have violent racking pains in my limb) and back 1 became greatly alarmed I could neither eat nor sleep. If 1 had been a feeble, sickly man, I should have thought less E'.rangely of it; but as, on the contrary, I was hearty and robust, I feared some new and terrible thing had got bold of me, which might make my strength of ro avail against it. I iay, that was the way I thought Presently I could not even lie down for the pain all over my body. I asked my doctor what he thought of my condition, and be frankly said, " I am sorry to have to tell you that you are getting worse I” This so frightened my friends, as wall as myelf, that they said “ Thomas, top must go to XHB HOSPITAL ! IT MAY BB TOUR ONLY Ohanob bob Lifk !” Boc I didn’t want to go to the hospital. Who does, when he thinks he can possibly get along without it P lam a laboring man, with a large family depending on me for support, and I might a'most es well be in my "rave as to be laid on my back in a hospital, nnable to lift a hand for months, or God only knows how long Right at this point I bad a thought flish across my mind like a streak of sunshine in a cloudy day. I had hoard and read a good deal about Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and I resolved, before consenting to be taken to the hospital, I would try that well-known remedy. On this I gave up the doctor’s medicine and began taking the Syrup, Mark the wonderful result I I had taken but three dess* within twenty-four hwurs when I was seized wi h a fit of coughing, and threw up thj phlegm and mucous off my chest by the mouthful. The Syrup had loosened and b'oken it up. Continuing with the Syrup, the recking pain, which I believe came from the bitter and poison humors in my blood and j lints, soon left me entirely, and I felt like going to s’eep, and I did s'eep sound and quiet. Then I felt hungry, with a natural appetite, and as I ate I soon got strong an i well. “ I PBLT I COULD LbAP THROUGH THB Aie with Delight !” In a week I was able to go to my work again. It doesn’t seem possible, yet it is true, and the neighbor* know it, There arc plenty of witnesses to prove it. And, there tore, when I I preach the good new* of the great power of Seigei’s Syrup to cure pain a .d disease far and wide, nobody will wonder at me, Thomas Canning. 75, Military Road, Canterbury, Rent.
