WHY HE DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

HE COULD LEAP THROUGH THE AIR. My object in writing ia twofold: to express my gratitude for a great benefit; and to toil a abort story which oannoc fail to interest the feeling! of many others! It is all about myself, but 1 have remarked that when a man tells the honest truth abont himielf he is all the more likely to be of use tohia fellow oreaturea. To begin, then, you must know I had been long more or lew subject to attacks of bronchitis, a complaint that yon are aware is very common and troublesome in Great Britain in certain seasons of the year. Some months ago I bad a very severe turn of it, worse, 1 think, than I ever had 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 bo vary obstinate. It would not yield to medicine, and as 1 also began to have violent racking pains in my limbs and back I became greatly alarmed. I oonld neither eat nor sleep. If I had been a feeble, sickly man, I should have thought less strangely 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 ef no avail against it. I say, 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 be thought of my condition, and he frankly said, “I am sorry to have to tell yon that you are getting worse I" This so frightened my friends, as well as myself, that 1 they said "Thomas, you must go to thb Hospital ; it may bb tour only Chanoh fob Lifb!” But 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 »a well be in my .grave as to. be laid on my back in a hospital, unable to lift a hand for months, or God only knows how long. Right at this point I had a thought flish across my mind like a streak of sunshine in a cloudy day. I bad beard and read a good deal Shout j Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup, and I resolved, before consenting to be taken to the hospital, 1 would try that well-known remedy. On this I gave up the doctor's medicine and began taking the Syrup. Mark the wonderful result 1 I had taken but three doses within twenty-four hours when I was seized with a fit of coughing, and threw up, the phlegm and mnoons off my chest by thb mouthful, The Syrup had loosened and broken it up. Continuing with the Syrup, the racking* pain, which I believe came from the bitter and poison humors in my blood and joints, soon left me entirely, and I felt like going to sleep, and I did sleep sound and quiet. Then I felt hungry, with a natural appetite, and as 1 ate I soon got strong and well. « I pblt I could Lbap Through thb Air with Dblight !” In a week I was able to go to my work again. It doesn’t seem possible, yet it is true, and the neighbors know it. There are plenty of witnesses to prove it. And, there-, fore, when I say I preach the good news of the’great power of Seigel’s Syrup to cure pain and disease far and wide, nobody will Wonder at me. _ Thomas Canning, 75, Military Road, Canterbury, Kent.
