Why He Did Not Go to the Hospital.

HE COULD LEAP THROUGH THE MR. ■My object in writing is two-fuld: to express my cratitudo for a groat benefit and to tell a short story which cannot fail to ■ intoreat tho feelings of many' many others. It is all about myself, but I liuvo: remarked that when a man tells the honest truth about himself ho is all the moro likely to be of uso to his fellowcreatures. To begin, thon, you muat know I had long b°en moro or less subject to attacks of bronchitis, a complaint that you are aware is very commou and troublesome in Great Britain in certain seasons of the year. Somo months apo I had a very severo turn of it, worse, I think than I over had before. It was probably brought on by catching cold, as we are all apt to do when wo 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 havo violent racking pains in my limbs and back, I bocamo greatly alarmed. I could neither oat nor sleep, If I had been a feeble, Bickly man, I should havo thought less strangely of it s but as, on tho contrary, I was hearty and robust, I feared somo new and terrible tbhig.had got hold of me, which might make my strength of no avail against it. I say, that was tho way I thought, .Presently I could not oven lie down for tlio.pain all orer my body, I asked my doctor what ho thought of my condition and hu frankly said, "lam havo to tell you that you aro getting worse 1" This bo frightened my friends, as woll as mysolf, that they said, " Thomm, you must go [to the Hospital; it mm/ be your only chance for life I" . Ml didn't want to go to the Hospital. Who does when ho thinks he can possibly get along without doiny it ? I am a laboring man with a largo family doponding. on mo for support, and I might almost as well be in my grave as to be laid 011 my back in a hospital unablo to lift a hand for months, orGod knows how long; Rightat this point I had a thought flash across my mind likeastreak of sunshine 011 a cloudy day. I had heard and read a good deal about Mother Soigcl's Curative Syrup, and I rcsolvod, boforo consenting to be takon to tho hospital, I would try that well-known remedy. On this I gavo up tho doctors modiciuo and began taking tho 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 off tho phlegm and mucus off my chest by tho mouthful. Tli'o Syrup had (jostled and broken it lip, Continuing with tho syrup, tho racking pain which I beliovo camo fiom tlio bittorahd poison humours in my blood and joints, soon loft'mo entirely, and I felt liko going to sleep, and I did sleep sound and quiet, Then I felt hungry with a natural ,appo; tito, andaslato Isfion got strong and well. 1

'• I jill.l could, leap through the airwiCi delight!■ :■ In aweo){ I was ablo to go to my work agaiu;; -It .doesn't accni poseible. yeb.it is true, and the ■ neighbors know if, There ato plenty of witnesses to prove it. And therefore wheu I aay.l preach tho giidd nowa of tho great power of Seigol's Syrup to cure pain and disease far and wldo, nobody will wonder at mo. :' j?.. * ' Thomas (Janwixo.
