SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

Glasgow, Nov. 1.

Daring a heavy gale to-day a five storey factory in the city collapsed, and in its fall crushed an adjoining carpetweaving shed where 150 young females were working. Forty of tho girls were killed outright, and eighteen were injured, while many are still to be accounted for. Numerous wonderful escapes are reported.

WHY HE DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL, HE COULD LEAP THROUGH THE AIR. My object in writing is twofold : to exureas my gratitude for a great benefit, and to teil a short story which cannot fail to interest tho feelings of many others* It is all about myself, but I have remarked that when a man tells the honest truth about himself be is all the more likely to be of use to hie 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. Bone months ago I had a very severe turn of it, worse, I think, than I ever hod before. It was probably brought on by my catching cold, as wo 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 m myv limbs and back I became ■' ,^atly',: iUai i med. f I could neither eat nor sleep. If I had been a feeble, sickly man, I should have thought less strangely of it; but as, on tho contrary I was hearty and robust, 1 feared some new and terrible thing 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, 41 1 am sorry to have to tell you that you are getting worse I" This so frightened my friends, as well as myself, that they said 44 Thomas, you must go to THB HOSPITAL; IT MAY BE YOUR ONLY Change fob Life!” 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 almost as well be in my grave as to be laid on my back in a hospital, nnable to lift a hand for months, or God only knows bow long. Right at this point I had a thought flash across my mind like a streak of sunshine in a olondy day. I had heard 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 np the doctor’s medicine and began taking the Syrup. Mark the wonderful result! I had taken but three doses within twenty-four hours when 1 was seized with a fit of coughing, and threw up the phlegm and muoous off my chest 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 and poison humors in my blood and oints,. 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. 44 1 pelt I could Leap Through the Air 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 neighbors know it. There are plenty of witnesses to prove it. And, therefore, 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 wander at me.
