TEN MONTHS SUFFERING IN A HOSPITAL. Thero is an old iVyiugtliat pliynctana are a claw (if imi) who p<iur drugs, of whio hi hay know little, . into bodies of v.hich they kni.w less, This is both tiuo and minis at the fame time. There lire . good and poor lawyers, and food and •A, poor docturs. Thu trouble with these * medical gentlemen as a profession 'u "'' thay are clinnish, and apt t.) bo cohcfi ed. They don't Ike to bebeaten at their own tißdu by outsiders who have never stidiod medicine, Tlwy Iherofora pity, by their frequent: failures, the penalty of refusing instriwrftiou unie 8 the teacher bears their own A" flail M ok," ■ An envnent physitian-Dr BrownSequaid, uf I'm is-states the fact ■ accurately when he saya: " The medical p'ofession are so bound up in their selt-contidence nud conceit that they allow the diamond truths of science be picked up by persona entirely outeide their ranks." We give & most interesting incident, which illustrates this important truth, The steamship " Concordia" of the Donaldson Line, sailed from Glasgow for Baltimore in 1887, having on board asa fireman a man named Richard Wade of Glasgow. He bad been a fireman for fourteen yoars on various ships sailin;! from America. China and India. He had borne the hatd and exhausting labour, and had been healthy and stro"i». i On the trip we now name he began for the first time to feel weak and ill. His appetite failed and he suffered from drowsiness, heartburn, a bad taste in the' mouth, and costivenesa and irremlarity of the bowels, Sometimei when at work behad attacks of giddiness but supposed it to bo caused by the beat of the fire-room, Quito often he sick and felt like vomiting, and had ', tome pain in the head, Later during ' *Jilie passage he grew worse, and when ship reached Halifax he was placed in tho Victoria General Hospital, and the ship sailed away without him, The house surgeon gave him some powders to stop the vomiting, and tho nest day the visiting physician cave him a mixturn lo take every four hours, Within two days Wade was so much worte that the doctors |stopped both the powders and the misturo. A mouth passed, tho poortj'pmiin getting worse and worse, Then came another doctor, who was 'to be visiting phytician for thu next five months. He gave other medicines, but not ranch relief. Nearly all that time Wade suffered great torturo j he digested nothing, throwing npall be ate. There was terrible pain in tho bowels, burnin? hfatinth" thr n »t, heartburn, and r; eking headache, The patient was now taLing a mixtuie eteryfour hours, powder* »ne after each meal to dlgeit the f'.o', opeiatinu pills one eveiy night, »ud temperature pills two each night to slop the co'd en eats. If drugs could cum him at all, liichatd had an idea that he itook enough lo do it, Jlut oh the other h.ud pleuruy eet in imJ t/ic rfecfor." kck ninety ■ tm«J of matter fiomHi right ridt, and then told him v li"« esuioto die. five month mote by, and there was another ~<sb«n;,e of visiting physicians. The new one gave Wide a mixture wl.ich ho w>id mail him tremble like a k'f oim At this crisis Wadu's Scotch blood itselt. Ha refused to stand any m >re dosing, and told thu doctors that if he must die he could die as well without them as with them, By this tune a cup of milk would turn sour on j his Btomioh, and lie tnore for daj e, Our friend frcm Glasgow-.was like a wreck ■ on a shoal, fast going ti pieces. We will let him tell the teu cf his experience , ! In thu words in which he communicated It to the press. Ho says, " Whon I waß in this stato a lady whom I had never seen came to the hospital and talked with me. 'She proved to be an angol uf mercy, for without her I should not now bo alivo. She told me of a medtoine called < ' Mother' Boigel'a Curative Syrup,' aud l; brought mo a bottle next day, I started • with it, withunt consulting the doctcrs, 1 and in only a fan <kys' timehms out of ;. i ltd calling forhm aiuiej/js forbrtdtfusl ; I From that timo, keeping on with ■'' •; Mother MgeYs greit remedy, I got woll I and was soon able to leave'the | and come home to Glasgow, I ■ now feel as if a was in another world, 'and have no illness of any kind," The above facts .are calmly and impartially Btatod, and Ilia roader ■ may nrawhisflwn conclusion, Wedeemit best to use no/names, - although Mr Wado gavo them in bin original depoeition, His address is No, 244, Slob- ,' cross Street, Glasgow, where letteis will reach him.
