':.•'■' mi from..America, China ind-India; He had borne ■ the hard and exhausting : labour, and had beennhealttiy and strong. On tha.trip wenowiiiarae'he began for, the first time to feel weak and -ijL- '■ ill. Hia uppotite faDed and ho abaered T- ■ tronvdrowßinesa, heartburn,.a bad taste ' in the, mouth, and coativeriefta''arid irrwnlarlty,of tha.bowels.': 'Sometimes .. . when at work he had attacks of giddiness butsnpppsed it,to: by the- ;-reheat, of the; n're-rooin.'

The ■':'■"■ house surgeon gavo'him Bomopowdt'ra to atop the vomiting and the next day ''■■'' thevisititjg physician rare him ami*. turato.iake every four hours, that in- ; two days Wade was so much worse that tnedoctora.atopped both the powders and the mixture.... A mouth-passed, the poornreman getting worse and worse;' Then came another doctor, who was jfc , to be visiting.physioian.for tho nro months. He gave other medioincs but not much rolief. Nearly all tho 1 time Wade suffered great torture; ha digested npthiug, throwing up all he ate, 1 There was terrible pain in itho bowels, . Burning heat in the throat, heartburoj 1 and raolting headache. The patient was i now taking a mixture every four hours, • powders one-after each meal to digest i the food, operating pills one every night; .> ■ and temperature pills two eaoh night MJ ~ stop the cold Bweatsl If drugs couloT cure him at all, Richard had an idea ' that he. took enough to do it. But on n the other hand pleurisy set in and the . t dkhm'.took ninety ounces ofmtttr . fromhis rjght tide, and then told him P ho was sure to die. ■ Five month mora 3 rolled by, and there was another change of visiting physicianß, The new one gave Wade a mixture which he , said mafohim tumble like a lea/ on« 8 r «

this erisia Wadea Scotch blood asserted itselt. Ho refused to stand anymore dosing, and told tho doctors that if he must die ho could die as well without them aa with thorn, By this tirno a oup of milk would km sour on his Btomaoh, and lie (hero for daje. Our friend from' Glasgow was like a wreck in a shoal, fast going fo pieces. We m\\ , let him tell the rest of his cipe'rienjji in the words in which he communicatee it to the preas . . V Ho says, " Whon I was In this state a lady whom Iliad never seen oarae to tho hospital and talked with me, She proved to be-an angel uf meroy, for without her I should not now be alivo . She told me of 'a medicine called Mother b'oigel'a Curative Syrup,' aud brought me a bottle next day. I started: with it, without consulting the doctor, andinotilj/ a feu dap' <(ihelwas t oirf of kd.calling forham and eggs forbrtabfa»tl%. From that time, keeping en with*--Mother Seigel'a groat remedy, I got well fast, and was soon ablo to leave the hospital and come home to Glasgoir. now feol as if a was in another world and have no illness of any kind," The above facts are calmly and irn- . partially stated, and the reader may draw his own conclusion, Wo deem it best to use no names, although Mr Wade gave them in his original deposition. His address is No. 244, Btoborosß Street, Glasgow, where letters will reach him Umioß.
