WHY HE DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

HE COULD LEAP THEOCiaH THE AIR.

My object in writing is twofold : to express ray t>?u.tit\x(le for a groat benefit, isnd to teil a ghost story whioh eaunos fail to interest the feelings of many others. It is all about mynatf, but I have remarked that when a man tolls tho honest truth about himgolf he i 9 all the moro likely to bo of use to his follow crontureo. To begin, thee, you muot know I hud boen Iocs; more or less subject to attacks of bronchitis, a ooraplaint that yon are aware ii very common and troublesome in Great Britain in obtain seasons of tho year. Bone n.cmtt'B »f,° 1 nftd tt Terv sevore turn of it, worso, i think, than I ever hod before. It wau probably brought on by my cutchiug oold, aa wo him all apt to do when we least expect it. Weeks pasasd by and my trouble "proved to D 0 ve) 7 obstinate. It would not yield to medicine, and as I alto began to have violent racking pains in my limbs and back I became greatly alarmed. I could neither e&t nor sleep. If I had been a feeble, sickly man, I should have thought leas strangely of it; but eg, on the oontrary, I was hearty and robust, I feared some new and terriblo thing hsd pot bold of me, whioh might make my strength of r.o avail against it. I fft?, 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 ho thought of zny condition, and he iruckly said, " I am sorry to have to tell you that you are getting worse 1" This to frightened my friends, us well as myself, that they said " Thomas, yotj must go to the hospital; it may bb your only Chamcs k>b Lips!"

But I didn't want to go to the hospital Who does, when ho thinks be can possibly I got along without it ? lam a laboring man. with a largo family depending on me for sup- ] port, and I might a'most fb well be in my s?avo as to be laid on my back in a ho?pital, unable to lift a hand for months, or God only knows how long. Right at this point I had a thought fl«h aoross my mind like a streak of sunshine in a cloudy day. I had heard and road a good deal about Mother Ssigel's Ourative Syrup, and I resolved, before consenting to bo taken to the hospital, I would try that well-known remedy. On this I Rave up tho doctor's medicine and begaa taking the Syrup. Mack the wonderful result 1 I had taken but three dosei within twenty-four bourn when I was seized with a fib of coughing, Btid threw up tho phlegm and muoona eff my ohest by the mouthful. The Syrup had loosened and brobon it up. Continuing with tho Syrup, the racking pain, whioh I believe came from the bitter and poison humors in my blood and joints, soon left me entirely, and I folt like going to sleep, and I did e'eep eound and quiet. Then 1 folt hungry, with a natural appetite, and as I ale I soon got strong and well.

"I felt I couid Lbap Through the Aib with Delight!" In a week I wai able to go to roy work again. If; doesn't seera possible, yet it is true, and tho neighbor* know it. Thoro are plenty of wituenseo to prove it. And, therefore, when I asy I preach tho good news of thc'groafc power of Seicel'a Syrup to cure pain and disease far and wide, nobody will wonder Bt me,
