TEN MONTHS SUFFJSiUNG , IN A HOSPITAL. ; Thoro is an old i that jihysiuianß ato a class of men who pour drugs, of which Ihoy' know little, into todies of' which thoy know less Tkls is both true and. unrue at tho same time. There are good and poor lawyets,' and good and poor doctors. The tronblo with these medical gentleman as a profession is that they, ara clannish, and apt to bo conceited. They don't like to be beaten at- their own trade by outsiders who have never studied medicino, Thoy therefore pay, by their frequent failures, the penalty of rofusing instruction uniosa the teacher boars their own "Hall Mark,".

An eminent physician—Dr Brown* Sequard, of Paris—states the fact accurately when ho sayn: " Tho medical profeßßion are bo bound up m thoir self-conlidence and concoib that they allow the diamond truths of science bo picked up by persona entirely outside their ranks," We «ivo a most interesting incident, which Uußtrates this important truth. Tho steamship " Concordia" «f the Donaldson Line, sailed from Glasgow for Baltimore in 1887, having on board asa fireman amannamedßichard Wade nf Glasgow. Ho had been a fireman for fourteen years on various ships sailin? from America, China and India Ho had borne the hard and exhausting labour, and had been healthy and strong. On the trip wo now namo he began for the first time to feel weak and ill. His appetite failed and he Buttered trom drowsiness, heartburn, a bad taßte in tho mouth and 'costiveness and irregularity of tho bowelß. Sometimes when at work lie had attacks of giddiness but supposed it to bo caused by the heat of tho fire-room. Quito often he was sick and felt like Vomiting, and had some pain in the head, Later during the passage ho grew worse, and when tho ship readied Halifax ho waß placed in tho Victoria General Hospital, and the ship sailed away without him. Tho house surgeon gavo him somo powders to atop the vomiting and the next day tho visiting physician cave him a mixture to take every four hours, that in two days Wade was so much worse that thedootors stopped both tho powders and the mixture.' A month passed, tho poor fireman getting worso and worse. Then came another doctor, who was to bo visiting physician for tho next five months. Ho gave other medicines but not much relief. Nearly all tha time Wado suffered great torture; he digested nothing, throwing up all he ate, There was terrible pain in |tho bowelß, burning heat in the throat, heartburn, and racking headache, The patient was now taking a mixture every four hours, powders one after each nionl to digest the food, operating pills ono every night, and temperature pills two each night to stop tho cold sweats, If drugs could euro him at all, Bichard had an idea that- ho took enough to do it. But on the other hand pleurisy set in andf/ie doctors holt ninety ounces of matter from hi) right tide, and then told him ho was sure to die. Five month moro rolled by, and there was another change of visiting physicians.: , The now onogavo Wade a mixturo which ho said »i®it Aim tremble like a Itif.om tree. At this crisis Wados Scotch blood asserted itselt. Ho rofusod to Btand any more dosing, slid told tho doctors that if he must die ho could die as well without them as with them, By this time a cup of milk would turn Bour on liii stomach, and lie there for dajs, Our friend from Glasgow was like a wreck iua shoal, fast going to pieces. We will let him tell the rejt of his experience in the words in which he communicated it to the press Ho says, "When I was In this state a lady whom I had never seen came to tho hospital and talked with me. She proved to be an angol of mercy, for without her I should not now bo alive Slio told mo of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup,' and brought me a bottle next day. I started with it, without consulting tha doctor, and in only a few days' time I was out of bed calling forlmm «tuleggs for breakfast. From that time, keeping on with Mother Soigel's groat remedy, I got woll fast, and was soon able to leave the hospital and come homo to Glasgow now feel as if a was in another world and have no illness of any kind," The above facta aro calmly and impartially stated, and tho reader may draw his own conclusion. We deem it best to use no names, although Mr Wade gave them in his original deposition, His address is No. 244, Stoboross Street, Glasgow, where lettors will roaoh him* EMXOB,
