" Never Mind the Man in the Moon.
Don't xcorry your brain about the man in the moon, but study the man in your own suit of clothes. If every individual person took the boat possible ore of himself, institutions of charity would soon go out of fashion. There's a deal of sense in tho saying that " Charity begins at home.' 1 When a man has got to swim or drown, ho will at least make a laudable effort to swim. Perhaps we coddle oneanother too much, As in an army, so in society—wo depend individually upon the commander and the multitude. It's* bad thing, because it induces a man to trust to luck and to numbers and not to his own courage and wits. Consequently, whon trouble comes, it finds us not ready; ignorant how to fight and conquer it, For example, here is our gooJ friend Mr John Wilkinson, ot Norbury, Whitechurch, Salop, who not long ago said to an acquaintance: 'Lad, I urn done for. 1 Why did he think so? Because tho doctors had given him up to die of consumption. Enough to scare him if ho really had consumption, But did he 1 Ah, that is tho question, He tells his story thus: " 1 come," lie says, "of a strong, healthy family, and up to the spring of 1885 I was always well. I could lift, run, and jump with any one, and walk thirty miles a day with ease, About April of that year I lelt something coming over me which gradually fastened upon me. At first I lelt dull, heavy, and tired, with a sinking ail-none sensation at the pit of the stomach, and pain in the Bides and in the shoulder-blades. My skin grow sallow, »nd tho whites of my eyes wero tinged with a yellow colour. I hod a foul taato n the mouth, particularly in the morning. My mouth and teeth were covered with ft thick slime, and a thin watery fluid camo up from my stomach.' into my mouth.'
"Itried all kinds of medicines, and was under tho doctor, but without getting relief. In this miserablo way 1 dragged on for six months. All my friends and neighbours thought I was breaking up, and was not long for this world.
"One day a friend of mine, Mr Thomas Bateman,gamekeeper,Marbury, seeing mo so bad, asked me how my complaint came on, 1 replied:' lam done for; I shall never get well again, lad.'
"Then he said, 'Don't say that' until you havo tried Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup,' And he went on to tell me how this medicine had cured him alter he was at death's dcor, and given up by the doctors as being in a consumption, So to leave nothing undone, 1 sent to Whiteohutch and bought the remedy. After taking three bottles all painand sickness left me; I could eat anything, and the cough and the spitting, as well as the pain in tho chest, left me, and 1 was a well man. " I tell everybody how Mother Seigol's Syrup saved my life, and you are at liberty to publish my statement in order that other sufferers may know what to do.
(Signed) John Wilkinson, Shoemaker, Norbury, Salop," The eases of theso two men Bateman and Wilkinson, were almost identical m symptoms and character. Both had indigestion and dyspepsia, both apprehended consumption, and both wore happily cured by the same medicine, How many others situated as they were, are there in his country ? Hundreds uf thousands I Ah, tho dreary dreadful days they have to pass tbrouijh, right on the road to the sravo, for unholped they must surely die I Are you, who read these lines, one of this suffering multitude I or do you know anyone who belongs to it? We say but a word 'to you -ion't oxpect to get well through waiting and vaguely hoping. Study the man in" your" own suit of clothes/ Otherwise act oh your own good judgment, and on the reputation of a romedy which has such evidence to prove 'ls power'; '
