TEN MONTHS SUFMUNG IN A HOSPITAL.

There is an old a that physiwwni ni'o a claea of men who pour drugs, of. which (hoy know little, jut., bodies of which they knoit loss This is both truo ami untile at the- same time. There are good and poor lawyers, and good and poor, doctors. The trouble with these medical gentlemen as a profession in that thuy are clannish, and apt to be conceited. They don't lib to bo beaten ab their own trade by" outsiders who have never studied lntdioino. They therefore pay, by thoir frequent failures, tho penalty of refuaing instrue'lOUUMosß the teaohor boars their own "Hall Mark.

Ail eminent physician—Dr Brow. Sequ-ird, of • Paris—etatos the fac accurately wlien lio says; " The modi cal profession are so bound up m thei eelf-contideiioo and conceit * that the; allow the diamond truths of scienc 1)0 pioknd up Ly persons en tiroly outsido their ranks." We ?iv i most interesting incident, whicl lislrates this important truth. Tho steamsnip "Concordia" of tin •omldson Lino, sailed from Glasgov ,r Bnltimoro in 1887, having on hoari sa fireman a man named Richard Wadi E Glasgow. He had been a iirt-mai >r fmirteon years on various ships sail from America, China and India lo had borno tho hard and exhaustim ibour, and had Jicen healthy am roif;. On tho trip we now name lit egan for tho first time to feel weak anc 1. His appetite failed and ho sullerec •om drowsiness, heartburn, a bad taste i the mouth - and costivonoss tine ■regularity of the bowels. Sometime! hon at work lie had attacks of giddiues! ut supposed .it to bo caused by the ,cafc of tho fire-room. Quito ofton lie Ms Sick and felt like vomiting and hac ®mo pain in tho head, Later durina ,he passage ho grew worse, and when ,110 ship reached Halifax lie was placen tho Victoria Gentiral Hospital, and tht lup sailed ■ away without him; The ouse surgeon gave liini aomo powders o strop the vomitipn, and thenoxt daj visiting physician pave him n mixurn to take every four Lours, that in .wo days Wade was so much worso thai hodoctors stopped both the powder! ind tho mixture,* A month passed, the loorh'eman gotting worso and worse, Ihen caino another doctor, who was o bo visiting physician for tho next ive months. • Ho nave other medicines >ut not much roiief. Nearly all tho imo Wado suffered groat torture j ha igested nothing, throwing up all he ate. Ihero waß terrible pain iiiitho bowels, turning heat in the throat, heartburn, nd racking headache, Tho patient was iow taking a mixturo every four hours, lowders one aftor each meal to digest he f'joo, oporatiiiu pills ono every tii«ht, nd temperature pills two each night to top the cold swoats. If drugs could ure linn at all,' Bichard had an idea hat ho took enough to do it, But on lie other hand pleurisy set in and tk octon took Hijiefji 0 / m n er romhu right side, and then told him 0 ., w " 8 ® ure to die. Five month moro ollod by, and there was another bange of visiting physicians. The ew one gave Wado a mixture which lie w mud-, him tremble likahfom ee

this crisis Wades Scotch blood asserted itsolt. He refused to stand any raoro dosing, and told the doctors that if he must die he could die as well without them as with them. By this time n cup of milk would turn aour on his stomach, and he there for daj s. I )ur friend from Glasgow was lib a work in a shoal, fast going to pieces, Wo will let him tell the mi of his experience ir the words in which he communicated to the preta &says,"Wluml was iu tins stato lady whom I had never seen camo to the hospital and talked with me. t!ho proved to bo an angol of mercy, for without her I should not now bo alivo She told mo of a medicine called Mother Soigel's Curative Syrup,' and brought me a bottle next day. I started with it, without consulting the doutor, and m only a fm iayi' Hmt Iww out of bed Mi%/or/iam andeggs forbnakfast. From that time, keeping on with Mother Seigel'a groat romody, I got well fast, and was soonablo to leave the hospital and come homo to Glasgow, now feel as if a waß in another world and have no illness of any kind." Tho above facts are calmly and impartially stntod, and tho reader may draw his own conclusion. We deem it bost to use no names, although Mr Wade gave them in his original deposition, His address is No. 244, Stobcross Street, Glasgow where letters will reach him Wdltor,

HOW PILLS AKEM&DE

Tho custom of taking modicino in th form of rtilla dates far back in history. Tho objoct ia to onable us to awailo easily in a condenaed form disagreeable and nauscua, but very useful drugs. To what vast dimensions pill-taking has grown- may be imagined when we Bay thatiiiKi)glanaaionuuOout2,ooo,ooo,ooo two thousand million) pills aruconsutned evory year, In early days pills were mado slowly by hand, as tho domandwas comparatively small. To-day cknyare produced with inliuitoly groator rapidit by machines especially contrived for th purpose, and with greater accuracy, too in the proportions of the various ingred ients employed, No form of medication can bo bottei than a pill, provided only it is Intelligently prepared. But right hero occurs tho difficulty. Easy as it may seem to make a pill, or a million of them, there 6 really very few pills that cm bo onestly commendod for popular use Most of them either uiulorehuot or over shoot the mark. As overybody ta pills of sumo kind, it may bo w mention what a good, safo and rol pill should bo, Now, whon one i dull and Bloepy, and ha' raoro or pain in tho head, Bides, and back, may bo sure his bowels aro constipate and Ins liver sluagish. To remedy th unhappy state of things there is nothi like a rood cathartic pill. It will act like a charm by stimulating the liver into doing its duty, and ridiw the digostivo organs of tho accumulated oisonous matter

,But tile good pill does not gripe and paiii us. neither Joes it make us sio and roisorablo for a few hours, or a whole day. Jt acts on the eutiro glandular system at the samoi time, else tho after effects of the pill will bo worse than the disease itself. Tho griping caused by most pills is tho result of irritating draw which thoy contain, Such pills are harmful, and should never bu used. They sometimes oven produce hemorrhoids Without having any particular desiro to praise one pill above anothor, we may, nevertheless, nanio MothorSoigeH'sPills, manufactured by the well-known hoim> of A .1, White, Limited,3s,Farrmgdon Road, London, and now sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, as the only oue wo know ot that actually possesses every deiirable quality.

They paver gripe or produco tho slightest sickness of the stomach, or aijy other unpleasant in g or symptom. Neithnr do the y i • ther constipation, as nearly ui{ other pills do. As a further and cr ing merit, Mother Seigell's Pills are covered with, a tastolojs and harmless coating, which causes them to resoluble pearls, thus rondoring them as pleasan i to the palate as they aro effecfivo ia> curin? diseases. If you have a'soyere; cold, and ato threatened with a lever,' one nrlwoin tho head, back, and limbs, and prove doses will break up tho cold with a bnt the fever.
