TEN MONTHS SUFJFiSJUfIEf IN, A HOSPITAL. Thore is an old syin» that • physicians are a class of men who pout drugs, ot which (hoy know little, into bodies of which they know less This is both true and unrue. at the same time, Thsro are good nud poor lawyers, and eood and poor doctors, The trouble with these medical gontlomen as a' profession is that they are clannish, and apt to be conioited, Thoy don't liko to bo beaten at their own trade by oivtsidors who have never studied mcdicino. They therefore pay, by their frequent failures, the penalty of refusing instruulion unless tlio teacher bears their own "Hall Mark."

An eminent physician—Dr BrownSequard, of Paris—states the faot accurately when he says: " Tho medical ptofossion are ao bound up in thoir self-confidonce and conceit that they allow tho diamond truths of science bo picked up _by persons entirely otttside their ranks," We qivo a most interesting incident, whioh 11 list rates this important truth. Tho stoamship " Concordia" of the Donaldson Line, sailed from Glasgow for Baltimore in 1887, having on board asa firoman a man named Richard Wade of Glasgow, He had beon a fireman for fourteen years on various ships sailing from America, China and India. Ho had borne the hard and exhausting lahom'i and had been healthy and strong, On the trip we now narno he began for tho first time to feel weak and ill. His appetite failed and ho Buffered from drowsiness, heartburn, a bad taste in tho mouth, and costiveness and irxe?nlarity of the bowds. Sometimes when at work hehadattaoksof giddiness but Btipposod it to bo causod by the heat of tho fire-room. Quito ofton ho was siok and foil like vomiting, and had Borne pain in tho head. Later during the passage ho grew worse, and when

11l tlio Victoria Gonoral Hospital, and the ship sailed away without hlra. Tho house surgeon gavo him somo powders to stop the vomiting, and the next day the visiting physician rave him a mixture to take every four hours, that in two days Wado was so much worse that thedoofcors stopped both the powders and the mixture. A month passed, tho poor fireman getting worso and worse. - Then came another doctor, whowaß to be visiting physician for tho noxt five months. Ha tjave other medicines but nob mnch relief. Nearly nil tlia time Wade suffered great torture; he digested nothing, throwing up all he ate, Thero was terrible pain in |tho bowols, burning heat in the throat, heartburn, and racking hoadache, Tho patient was now taking a mixturo every four hours, powders one after each meal to digest the food, operating pills one evory night, and temperature pills two each night to stop the cold sweatß, If drugs could cure him at "all, Eichard had an jiea that ho took onough to do it. But on the other hand pleurisy set in and the doctors tooh ninety ounces of matter fromhit right side, andthon told him ho was'sure to dio. Five month moro rolled by, and thoro was anothor change of visiting physicians. The now one gave Wado a mixta which he said modi him tremble like a leif ona tree.

At thig_ crisis Wadoa Scotch blood assorted itsolt. Ho rofusod to stand any moro dosing, and told tho doctors that it ho must die he could die aB well without them as with thorn. By this time a cup of milk would turn sour on his stomach, and lie thoro for days, Our friend from Glasgow was liko a wrook in a shoal, fast going to plef oa. Wo will let him toll tho rat of' his experience in the words in which he communicated it to the press He says; "When I was in this stato a lady whom I had nevorßeen camo to tho hospital and talked with me. Sho proved to bo an angel of meroy, for without her I should not now bo alivo She told me ol a medlcino called Mother Soigol's Curative Syrup,' and brought mo a bottlo noxt day.. I started with it, without consultin? tho doctor, and tit only a few days' time I was out of ki calling for km aniens forbmlfad. From that time, keeping on with Mother SBigel's great remedy, I got well fast, and was soon able to leave the hoapifcal and come homo to Glasgow, now feel as if a was in another world and have no illness of any kind." The above facta are oaimly and impartially stated, and tlie reader may draw his own con£lusio'i» We deem it best to use no names, although Mr Wado gavo them in his original deposition, His address is No. 244, Stobori's3 Street, Glasgow, whero letters will roaoh himEditor,
