They suffered the bitterest dcith recorded in the history of those j mountains, full as that history is with • dreadful tragedies. Sad to think that they were so near safety, and yet through ignorance so lar from it. |Alas! bow nuny die, under different conditions, but for a like reason. Here is a man who says, "All my mends thought I was doomed, and I did not ciro whether Hived or died." Ho explains bb follows: •'. Up to Ootobor, 1885," he says, " I was a strong and healthy man, and equal to any kind of. work. At this tune I was taken with a pain that seemed to shoot straight through my heart. I felt as if something was.squoezing my heart, and I was in dreadful agony, I had to abandon work and lie up, Then I fell into a low weak way. I had no appetite, and every morsel I ato gavo me great pain at the chest and a tight uncomfortable feeling as if'all my food turned to wind and did not pass my Blomaeh, I had a great pain at my back and sides, and was never free from pain night or day. Such food as I was able to take lay like a load on my 6tomich, and my heart would thump so badly I could get no sleep, and night after night I would '! 1 became that woak I dare not lift the lightest article, and so nervous that the slightest sound startled mo, Even the children's noiße at play upset me. When I ventured out of doors I had to often stand and rest, and my legs were so unsteady I icould not walk straight. All this told on Way spirits, for beforo my attack I scarcely knew my strength. I could lift a sack of flour with oase. t " I went to our doctor, who said mine was a bad oase. He gavo me medicines, but I got no relief from them, How better, now worse, bnt never well, I remained in this atato for over twolve months, and was under (he doctor all that time. At last tho doctor recommended me to go to Norwich Hospital and put myself under a celebrated physician there as an indoor patient, I did so in November, 188 G. The physician said, 'Your heart is strained and very weak. •'Whilst in the hospital I was oxamined by threo doctorß, and after being under treatment five wubmtjcase urn pronounced incurable. Tbo doctors said 1 would never he able to do hard work again and would never get any stronger. 1 was now anxious to get home, so I left the hospital, but kept on receiving medioine as an outdoor patient for three months longer.. Getting _ weaker and weaknr, I gavo up taking their medicine and tried different medioines my friends told mo of, but nothing did auy good, and 1 lingered on month after month. Now, indeed, I began to despair, for from a 6trong, powerful man 1 was reduced almost to a shadowj and did not caro whother I lived or died, ■ "In Juno, 1887, a book was left at my /honso which described a preparation called Ttase like mine being oured by it, I said to ' my wife,' Here is a case that exactly corresponds with my case.' " I bad lobl all faith in medicines, but sb a last resource sent to Mr Edgerlcy, -upply Stores, Bungay, for a bottle, and had not takon more than half tho contents beforo I felt better. ' Wife,' I said, " / Wfere lids Seigel's Syrup is going to cure »«.' 1 began to eat and the food did me good, nndl grew stronger and stronger, After taking three bottles 1 got back to my work strong and healthy, and since then I have never looked behind me; By taking an occasional dose I keep in good health. I oan now eat anything and do any kind of work, and went through harvesting as well as anyone, and can lift a pig with case. / thank God that Seigel's Eyrap was ever known to toe, and feel that I owo my life to It, You are at liberty to publish this statement, as I am willing to tell anyone of tho benefit I have derived from the medioine, " Yours truly, (Signed) "Mb Bodem Wbioht, "Earsham, Bungay, Norfolk,' ".Witness: (Signed) Isaac Weight, "Grocer and and Tea Dealer, Earsham." Mr Wright's complaint was indigestion nnddyspopsia, and heart disturbance which so alarmed him was the result of the .• mechanical pressure of the stomach against »s heart when the latter was inflated with o gases created by undigested and fer- ' meriting food, Many are misled thus to mistake indigestion for some other malady, We oan only say we aro glad our friend found the truo path (the right medicine) before bit disease left him no remnant of life to blow into a flame,
