WHY HE DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

HE COULD LEAP THBOtJGH THE AIR,

My object in* writing is twofold : to ex. press my gratitude for a great benefit, and to tell a short story which cannot fail to interest the feeling* of many others. It is all about myself, but I have remarked that when a man tells the honsst truth about himself he is all the more likely to be of use to his. fellow creatures. To begin, then, you must know I had. been long mora or lets subject to attacks of bronohitis, a complaint that you are aware is very common and troublesome in Great Britain in certain Beasone of the year. Some months ego I had a very severe turn of it, worse, I think,: than I ever had before. It. was probably brought on by my citching cold, as we are all apt to do when we least expect it. Weeks passed by and my trouble proved to be very obstinate. It would not yield to medicine, and as I also began to have violent racking pains in my limbs and back I became greatly alarmed. I could neither eat nor sleep. If I had been a feeble, sickly man, I should havo thought less strangely of.it; bat as, on the contrary, I was hearty and robust, I feared some now arid terrible thing had cot bold of me, which might make my strength of 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 he thought of roy condition, and he frankly said, "I am sorry to have to tell you that you are getting worse I" This so i frightened my friends, as well as myself, that they said." Thomab, you must go to i thb Hospital? it max bk you* only j Ohanob fob Lipr!"

[ But I didn't want to go to the hospital. | Who does, when he thinks he can possibly I get along without it P lam a laboring man. j with a large family depending on me for support, and I might almost as well be in my grave as to be laid on my back in a hospital, unable to lift a hand for months, or Clod only knows how long. Bight at this point I had a thought fUsh across my mind like a streak, of sunshine in a cloudy day. I had heard and read a good deal about Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and Iresolved, before consenting to be taken to the hospital,! Iwould try that? well>known remedy, v 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,,i,and threw, up the phlegm and muoous off my pbest by the mouthful, The Syrup had loosened and broken it up. Continuing with the,Syrup, the racking pain, which I believe, came from the bitter land 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 IBM I corao Lbap Through xhb Air with Dbliqht !" 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.
