S>EN MONTHS 1 SUFFIiiIiNG IN A HOSPITAL. :

There is anold syiag that; phjrai-. I iiians are a class-of men who pour drugs, of which they know little, ' into bodies of which they know less This is both true and unrue at the same time. .There: are good and 'poor lawyers, and goodand poor doctors. The trouble with.theso medical gentlemen as a profession is that they are clannish, and apt to be conceited. They don't like to be beaten r at their own trade by ontaidon who have never studiod medicine. • Thoy therefore pay, by: their ". frequent ■, failure!, the penalty of refusing inßtruo!i°n n J, n ! 0 , M the teaohM hearßtheir.own • " Hall Mark.'!

Ho had been a fireman . for fourteen years on various ships sail-.' 'mi from America,.China;.and India. He had borne the hard and exhausting •• labour, and had been healthy; and, strong. On the trip wo now name-he began for the.first time to feel weak and ill. His appetite failed and ho suttercd t.rom.drowsiness,,heartburn, a bad taste in'• the : mouth,Cand-costivenes? and--*' irregularity of the bowels." Sometimes'. when at work-he had attacks of giddiness ■ i but supposed it to bo caused by "the. heat of the fire-room.; Quite often ho ' was siok and felt like vomiting, and had ome pain in the head.: Later during he passage'he grew worse, and when -he ship readied Halifax he was placed 11 tho Victoria General Hospital, and the tip sailed away without himi The ' ouse surgeon gavo him lomepbwderi to stop the vomiting, and the next day the visiting physician pave him a mixture to take evory four hours, that in ~ two days Wade was so much worse that, thedoctors stopped both the powders. and the mixturo. A month passed; the poor fireman gottlng worsb and worse,' Then cam* another doctor, who wa to be visiting physician for the nex five months, Ho gavo other medicine but not ranch relief. Nearly all th time Wade suffered great torture ; &■> digested nothing, throwing up all he ate. There was terrible, pain in itlw bowels, burning heat in the throat, heartburn, and raoking headache. The patient was now taking a mixturg evory four hours, powders one after each meal to digest the food, operating pills one every night, and temperature pills two each night to stop the cold sweats, If drugs could cure him at all, Eichard had an'idea that he took enongh to do }t. But en the other hand pleurisy set in andt/ic doctors took ninety ounces of matter fromhis right side, and then told him he was sure to die.' Five month more rolled by, and there was another chango of visiting physicians. The' new one gave Wade a mixture which he said t>ia(Ui»i taiWe Uhalmfon ret

this crisis Wados Scotch blood asserted itself. He refused to. stand

anymore dosing, and told tho doctors that if he inußt die ho could die as well without them as with them. By this time a oupof milk would turn sour on his stomach, and lie there for days, Our friend from Glasgow was like a wrodc in a shoal, fast going to pieces, We will let him tell the rest of Mb experietica ir the words in which he communicated to the press esaya. "When I mi in this state jjjady whom I had never seen camo to bo hospital and talked with me. She proved to bo an angel of mercy, for without her I should not now be alive Sho told me of. a medicine called Mothor Beigel's Curative Syrup,'.and brought me a bottle next day, I started with it, withont consulting the doutor, - and in only a fmiays' Mmlwa out of Id calling for ham and eggs for breakfast. From that time, koeping on with,. Mother Seigel'a great remedy, I got well fast, and was soon able to leave the hospital and come home to Glasgow, now feel as if a ms in another world and have no illnesi of any kind," ■ The above facta are calmly and inv partially stated, and the reader may draw his own conclusion, We deem it best to use no.names, although Mr Wade gave them in Ms original deposition, His address is No. 244, Stoboross Street, Glasgow where letters will reach him
