WHY HE DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

HE COULD LEAP THROUGH THE AIR. My object in writing in twofold : to express my gratitude for a great benefit, and to toil a short filory which cannon fail to interest tho feelings of many others. It H all about myoeli, but I have remurked that when a man tells the hornet truth about himself he is all the more likely to be of u«e to hi* 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 i» very common and troublesome in Great Britain in certain seasons of the year. Sene months ego I had a very severe turn 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 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 cat 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 rbbust, I feared some new and terrible tnihg had got 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 my condition, and he frankly said, “ I am sorry to have to tell you that you are getting worse,!” This so frightened my friends, as well as myself, that they said “ Thomas, you must go to THB HOSPITAL; IT MAY BB YOUR ONLY Ohahob fob Lifb !" But I didn’t want to go to the hospital. Who does, vfhen he thinks be can possibly get along without it ? lam a laboring man. with a lar&e family depending on me for support, and I ;might a most i s well be in my. ■“’’rave as to be laid on my back in a hospital, unable to lift a hand for months, or God only knows bow long. Right at this point I had a thought flish across my mind like a streak of sunshine in a cloudy day. I had heard , and' read a good deal about Mother Saigel’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 begata taking the Syrup. Mark the wonderful result I I had taken but three doses within‘twenty-four hours when I wvs seized wi h a fib of coughing, and threw up the phlegm and mucous off my chest by the mouthful, The Syrup had loosened and broken it up. Oon« tinuing with the Syrup, the racking pain, which I believe came from tho bitter and poison humors in my blood and j oints, soon left me entirely, and I felt like going to sleep, and I did s'eep sound and quiet. Then I felt hungry, with a natural appetite, and 1 3 I ate I soon got strong 1 ant well. “I FBLT I COULD LBAP THROUGH THB Aib with Delight !” In a week I was able to go to my work again. Tt doesn’t seem possible, yet it is true, and the neighbors know it; There are plenty of witnesses to prove it. And, therefore, when I say I preach the good new* of the great power of Seigol’s Syrup to cure pain and disease far and wide, nobody will wonder at me.
