TEN -MONTHS SUFFMitf ff IN A HOSPITAL. There is an old b yiu-r that physiuisns are & class of wen who pour drugs, of which (hoy know little, into bodies of which tlioy knon This is both true and unat tho b,lino are . I and poor lawyers, and good and poor dobtora. Tho trouble with these medical gentleman as a profession is that they are clannish, and apt to bo conceited, They don't liko to bobeaten at- their own trade by outsiders who have nover studied medicino. -Thoy therefore pay, .by their frequent tailures, the penalty of refusing instrue!S 0 n 'J®!® 8 'I' 0 teacher bears their own Hall Mark, ' An eminent physicianr-Dr BrownSeqmrd, of Paris-atatos tho fact accurately when he says; "The modieal profession are bo bound up in their self-conhdenco and conceit that they allow the diamond truths of science ? picked up by persons entirely outside their ranks." We give » most lnturostiug incident, which llusfrates this important truth, lho steamsnip "Concordia" of the Donaldson Lino, sailed from Glasgow for Jialtimoro in 1887, having on board asa hrelnan a man named Richard Wade , 3 -! ow '' He had been a fireman tor fourteen years on various shim sail m> from America, China and India He had borne the hard and exhausting labour, and had beon healthy and stroig, On the trip tve now namo he began for the first time to feel weak and ill, his appotite /ailed and ho suffered trom drowsiness, heartburn, a bad tasto in the mouth and costiveneas and irregularity of tho bowels. Sometimes when at , TO rk lie had attacks of siddineaa outsupposed .it to bo caused'by the neat of the lire-roam. Quite often he wiio sick and felt like vomiting;, and had sumo pain in the head,' Later during the passage ho grew worse, and wheu t e ship reached Halifax lie was placed n tho Victoria General Hospital, and tho nip sailed away without him. The ouse surgeon Rave him some powders o stop the vomitins!, and the next day ho visiting physician em him # mixturn to take erory four hours, that in two days Wade was so much worse that .thodoctora stopped both tho powders and the mixture, A month passed, tho puorh'cman getting worse and worse. , n wine another doctor, who was to be visiting phyeician for the noxt uvo months. He gave other medicines but not much relief. Nearly all the time Wade suffered great torture; ha digested nothing, throwing upall ho ate. Inero was terriblo pain initho bowels, burning hent in tlw throat, heartburn, and racking headache. The patient was now taking a mixture every four hours, powders one after each meal to digest the food, operating pills one overv night, and temperature pills two each night to stop the cold sweats, If drugs could r, him a "' Kiohard'had an idea that he took enough to do it. But on the other hand pleurisy set in and th doctors tool; ninety ounces of matter fromhis right side, and then told him uT ? uro^ll! ' lve Month moro rolled by, and there was another change of visiting physicians. The now one gavo Wade a mixture which ho said madt, him tremble like a Mom ree r . ■ . thi crisis Wades Scotoh blood asserted itseh, Ho refused to stand any more dosing, and told the doctors that if ho must die ho could die as well without them as with them. By this time a cup of milk would turn sour on Irs Btomach, and lie there for dajs. Our friend from Glasgow was like a wreck in a Bhoal, fast going to pieces. Wo will let him toll tho re3t of his experience in tho words in which he communicated to the press Ha says, "ffhon I waß In this state lady whom I had nevor seen emtio to tho hospital and talked with mo. She proved to bo an angol of mercy, for without her I should not now bo alive She told mo of a medicine called Mother Beigel's Curative Syrup,' aud brought mo a bottle next day, I started with it, without consultiup tho doctor, andin only a few days' time I m out of bed calling for km amhggs for breakfast. From that time, keeping en with Mother Seigel's groat remedy, J got well fast, and was soon able to leavo the hospital and come homo to Glasgoiv, now feel as if a was in another world and have no illnossof any kind," Tho above facta are calmly and impartially stated, and the reader may draw his own conclusion. We deem it best to use no names, although Mr Wade gave them in his original depoaition. His address is No. 244, Stobcross Street, Glasgow whom lottora will reach him Hdiior. HOW PILLS ARE MADE Tho custom of taking medicino in th form of pills dates far baok in history Tho objoct is to onablo ui to awallo easily in a condensed form disagreeable and nauseus, but very useful drugs. To what vast dimensions pill-taking has grown may ho imagined when we say thatinEnglanattlooodbout2,ooo,ooo,ooo two thousand million) pills aro consumed every year. Iu early days pills were maae slowly by hand, as the demand™ comparatively -email, To-day thoy are produced with infinitely greater rapidit by machines especially contrived for th purposo, and with greater accuiacy, too in the proportions of the various ingrcd ients employed. No form of medication can be hotter than a' pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. But right here occurs the difficulty. Eaßyns it may seem to make a pill, or a million of them, there e really very few pills that cm be onestly commended .for popular use Most of thorn either undershoot or ovor shoot .the mark. As everybody tak pills of sumo kind, it may be wel mention what a good, safe aud ro la b pill should be, Now, whon ono fee dull 'and sleepy, and - ha» moro or 1c pain in tho head, sides, and back, 1. may be sure hiß bewols are constipate and his liver sluugish. To remedy th unhappy state of things there is nothi like a pood cathartic pill. It will act liko a charm by stimulating the liver into doing its di\ty, and ridinp the digestive organs of the accumulated oisonous mattor But the good pill does not gripe and pain us. noithor Joes it mako us sio and miserableJorafewhours, orawholo day- Jt acte on the entire glandular system at the same time, ojso the after effects of the pill will bo worso than tho disease itsolf. Tho griping caused by most pills is tho result ofirritating drugs which thoy contain. Such pillß are harmful, and should nover bo ÜBed. T'noy sometimes even produce homorrlioidß Without having any particular dcairo to praiso ono pill aboyo another, we may, nevertheless, name MotherSoigoll'sPills, manufactured by tho well-known house of A. ,J. Whito, Limited, 35, Farnngdon Boad, London, and now sold by all chemists and medicino vendors, as the only one wo know ot that actually possesses evory dcurable quality. Thoy removo tho pleasure upon tho brain, •"orrecttbe liver, and causo the bowols'to act with eawand regularity. They rever gnpo or produco tho slightest sickness of the stomach, ur any other unpleasant ling or symptom. Neither do they ■ _ thercoustipation, as nearly all other pills do.- As a iurtheraud cr ing merit,_ Mother Seidell's Pills are covered with a tastolois and harmless coatiuc, which causes them to resemble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasan to tho palate as they aro effective ifi curing diseases. If you havo a aovSr'G cold, and are threatened with a iovefone or twain the lioad, back, and linibs' and prevo doses will break up the cold with a bnt tho fever, A coated tonguuA caused brackish taste in the mouth, y foul matter !in tho stomao A doao of Soisel's Pills will effect speedy cure. Oftentimes partially d cayed food in the stomach undbowles produces sickness, nausea, <S:o. Cleanse tho bowels with a dose of those pills, and' good health will follow.
