An eminent physician-Dr BothScquard, o Paris-states the fact accurately when he says ;• "The modi- ' ca profession arc so bound up m thoir sef-coiiudenco and conceit that they allow the diamond truths of science ho- picked up by persons entirely outside; their ranks," Wegivo a most interesting ina.dent; which U ns, rates this important truth. '■ Iho steamsnip " Uoncordia" of the Donaldson Lme, sailed from Glasgow ior Baltimore in 1887, having on board asa ftremana nun named KichardVYade of Glasgow. He had been a iirenmu for fourteoii years on vauous ships sailiiu from America, China aud India, liohad borne.thohard andexhaustnn; labour and had been healthy and fo'% On the trip we now n'amo he began for the first time to feel weak and ill. Itis appetite failed and ho suHered troin drowsiness, heartburn, a bad taste !" th ? moutli. and costivencss and liwnlanty of tho bowels. Sometimes when at work lie had attacks of eiddiness but supposed it to bo caused" by the heat of tho n're-room. Quito often he .waa sick and felt like vomitinr,, and had somopain in tho head, Later durin» the passage ho grew worse, and when tho ship reached Halifax ho was placed in tho Victoria General Hospital, aud the ship sailed away without him. The house surgeon gave him some powders to stop the vomiting, and the next day no visiting physician ?ave him a mixture to take evory four hours. : that in two days Wade was so much worao that thedoctors stopped both the powders and the mixture. A month passed, tho, poorhrpniangottjngfforso and worse. lnen came another doctor, who was to be visiting piiyticiai for tho next hvo 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. Xiiera was terriblo pain in lt ho bowels, b»nnng heat in the throat, heartburn, and racking headache, The patient was now taking a mixture every four hours, powders one after each meal to digest the f'jod, operating pills one overv uight, and temperature pills two each night to stop the cold sweats. If could cure, him at all, Richard had an idea Hat ho took enough to do it. But eh* tho other hand pleurisy set in and tk Mm. took ninety mum of matter /ram An right side, and then told him he was sure to die. Five month more rolled by, and there was another diaiigo of visiting physicians. The new ono gave Wnde a nrxture which he *ud mad, him tremble like a leif ono . TO

At this crisis Wades Scotch blood asserted itselt. He refused to Btand anymore dosing, and told tho'doctors that if he must die ho cnuld dio as well without them as with them, By this timo a cup of milk would turn sour on Ids stomach, and ho there for dajs. Our friend from Glasgow a wreck in a shoal, fast going to pieces, Wo will let him toll the rest of his experience in the words in which he communicated it to the Dress

Ho says. "When I was in this state a lady whom I had novorseen caino to tho hospital and talked with mo. She proved to be an angel of mercy, for without her I should not now bo alive She told me of a medicine called Mother Seigol's Curative Syrup,' and brought me a bottlo next day. I started with it, without consulting the doutor, and fit Billy a few days' fi'mc I wis oui of bed calling for km anieggs for breakfast. From that timo, keeping on with Mother Seigel's groat remedy, I got well fast, and was soon ablo to leavo 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 facts are calmly and impartially stated, and the reader may draw his own conclusion. Wo deem it best to use no names, althougn Mr Wado gave them in his original deposition, His address is. No. .244, Stobaross Street,. Glasgow, where' lettors will roach him • ■ Kditob,
