WHY HE DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

HE COULD LEAP THROUGH THE AIR. My object in writing is twofold : to cx. press my gratitude for a great benefit, and to tell a short story which cannot fail to interest the feelings of many others. It is all about myself, but I have remarked that when a man tells the honrst truth about himself he is all the more likely to be of uao to his 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. Some months ago I had a very severe turn of it, worse, I think, than I ever had before. It was probably brought on by my catching cold, as wo are all opt 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 poins in my limbs and back 1 became greatly alarmed, I could neither eat nor sleep. If I had been a feeble, sickly man, I should have thought less strangely of it; but rb, on the 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 oven lie down for the pain all over my body. I asked my doctor what ho thought of my condition, and he frankly said, " I am sorry to have to tell you that you are getting worse 1” This eo frightened my friends, as well as my<elf, that they said “ T HOMAB, you must go to thb Hospital; it may bb your only Ohanob pob Lifk!"

But 1 didn’t want to go to the hospital, Who does, when he thinks he can possibly got along without it ? lam a laboring man. with a large family depending on mo for support, and I might a’most as well be in raj "rave as to be laid on my back in a hospital, unable to lift a hand for months, or God only knows how long. Eight at this point I had a thought flash across my mind like a streak of sunshine in a cloudy day. I had heard and road a good deal about Mother Seigei’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 began taking the Syrup. Mark the wonderful result! 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 mucous 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 likegoiug 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 ani well. “ I FELT 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 new* of the great power of Seigel’s Syrup to cure pain and disease far and wide, nobody will wonder at me.
