N MONTHS SUFFMiNOf IN A HOSPITAL,

■There is an old a yia<; ■ that phyaiofons aro a class of men who pour drugs, of which Ihdy'know' little, into bodies •' ef which. they know less ■ Tkis' is : both truo and lin-: rue at the same time, Thero are good and poor lawyers,; and good and poor Tho trouble with these medical gentlemen as a profession is that they are clannish, and apt to bo conceited; They don't like to bo beaten at their own trade by outsiders who havo never studiod' medicine.'. They therefore pay, by- 'their "frequent failures, the penalty of rofusiiig instruct lion unless the teacher 1 bears their own "Hall Mark." •••■■• '" ' •

An omihent'physician-Dr Browii ; Sequnrd,- of Paris—stotes "■ the. faet accurately when ho says: ■ "The medical profession arp ao hound rip in their self-contidenoo 'and conceit that thoy nllow the diamond truths of ■ science be picked up by persons entirely outside their ranks." Wegivo a most mtoro3ting incident,' 'which llußtrates this important truth. The 'steamship' " Concordia" ef the Donaldson Line, sailed from Glasgow for Baltimore in 1887, having on board hsa fireman a man named-Richard Wade of Glasgow. Ho had been a fireman for Idurteon years on various ships sailing from America, China and India l He had borne the hard and exhausting labour, and had been healthy and strong, On the trip, we now name he begnn'for tho first time to feel weak and ill. Hie appetite failed and ho Buttered Irom drpwsinoss, heartburn, & bad taste in the mouth and costiveness and irregularity of tho bowels. Sonietimes when at work he had attacks of giddiness but supposed it to bo caused by the heat of the fire-room, Quito Often he was sick and felt like vomiting, and had some pain in the head.- Later:during the passage ho grow worse, and when the ship reached Halifax lie was placed in tho Victoria General Hospital, and the ship sailed away without him. The house surgeon gavo him some powders to stop tho vomiting, and the nest day tho visiting physician pave him a mixta to take every four hours, that in two days Wade w«b so much worse that thedoctors stopped both tho powders and tho mixture, ' A month passed, the poor iireman getting worse and worso, Thon came another doctor, who was to be visiting physician for tho next five months. He gavo ether medicines but not much relief. Nearly all tha timo Wado suffered great torturo j he digested nothing, throwing up all heato, There was torriblo pain in jtho bowels, burning heat in tho throat, heartburn, and racking headache. Tho patient was now taking i> mixturo every four hours, powders one after each meal to digest the food, operating pills one every night, and temperature pills two each night to stop the cold sweats. If drugs could cure him at all, Richard had an idea that he took enough to do it. But on the other hand pleurisy set in andf/ic doctors took ■ ninety dunces of matter from his right side, and then told him ho was sure to die. Five month more rolled by, and there was another change of visiting; physicians. The new ono gave Wade a mixtire which' he said madi him tremble like n leaf om tree, .

At this crisis Wados Scotch blood asserted itself. Ho refused to stand any more dosing, and told tho doctors that if ho must die he could die as well without them as with, thorn. • By this time a cup of milk would turn sour on his stomach, and he thoro for days, Our friend from Glasgow was like a wrook in a shoal, fast going to pieces, We will let him tell tho rat of his experience in the words in which he communicated it to tho press He says.,''' When I was hi this state a lady whom I had nover seen camo to the hospital andtalked.with.nie. She provodto bo. an angel of, morcy, for without her I should not now' bo alive She told me of a medicino called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup,' and .brought me a bottle next day. I started with it, without consulting the doctor, and in only a few days' tint I was out of bid mlliwjforlmm andtygs forkeakfast. From; that time, keeping on with Mother Seigel's great remedy, I got well fast, and was.soon able'.to I ,leave the hospital ahd conie home to" Glasgoiv.'' now fed as if a was in another world and have no illness of any Wnd." The' abovo facts'ara Manly and impartially statod, and.lflw reader may draw his own conclusion Wodeomit best to übo no names, although Mr Wade gave them an his original deposition. His address is No. 244, Btoboross Street,. Glasgow, where letters will reach him- •' ':'•'■■ ( '. ' '../ i; Ediiok,
