If I hadn't given my friend Jim Smnlfellow could give, another we should be friend still-that is, if Jim could have lived without the. advice. This may sound rather strange and mixed to you, hut it's all right when you take it by the handle. Yon see it was this way. Jim was a handsomo chap, 25 years old, foppish and dressy, fond of society, had plenty of money, butwith the seeds of consumption ill him. Got'cm from his mother, who died of it. , Well, Jim began to cough, and run down hill fast. The doctors couldn't help him, and told luni so, One daylio was talking to me about it, and actually broke down and cried.. "Jim," says I, "there's just ouo chance for you, and I wnut you to jump for it right away, That's to go out West in America and livo on the slopes of the Eocky Mountains, in the pine woods, in abut or a tent, nud stay there till you arc dead or well. Don't write to mo for a ycar.thcn come back or let me hear from your." Bidding a sad farewell to the young girl he was engaged to bo married to, Jim went.

: Iwo years afterwards I met liim in town'; lie was as hearty as a buck; but walked with a limp. He had lost his right leg below the knee, in a fight with a grizzly bear, and now hobbled around on a wooden one. " And its all your fault," he said," If it "hadn't been for your advice I'd never gone there. Now Edith won't marry me. Says she don't want a husband with a wooden; leg', and I don't want a friend who gave nic the wooden leg."; ■■■ , ; .. ■' \}\) Well, there I I was never so taken aback. My advico had saved Jim's life and restored his health, yet because he couldn't have two sound legs and a wife besides, he threw mo overboard. I vowed I'd never givo anybody a bit of good advice again, I'd let em die first. But that's where I was hasty and wrong, It's a man's duty to keep on doing good whether people are grateful or not. Here is Mr Frank Stanley Langman, His wife gave him a piece of good advice and he was sensible enough to act ou it, In June, 1882, it was that ho fell ill. He felt weak, tired, and weary without any outsido reason for it. His appetite was poor, there was a bitter taste iu Ins mouth, and a bad pain in $0 chest and stomach after eating, [sometimes he would break out into a sweat and feel so prostrated ho'd have to. lie down. It was feared ho had some internal tumour., Once ho had an attack at the railway station and people erowded round lu'ni, thinking ho was dying., I During another attack he kissed Ids child, believing his time had' como. A doctor examined liim'for heart disease! but couldn't find any. ,Hc advised Lahgman to take only'milk and, brandy, milk and water, and such slops!' Still he ilwd thoso frightful periodic attacks.! Vftcr attending him some lime, tho loctor said," I can't find out what is the natter with you; you had better see a Vest End physician." Mr Langman lid so, and the WestEud doctor said the; laticnt's liver mado too much bile, and irdorcd a milk diet. Two moro doctors were consulted with 0 better result, and the unhappy man' cmained in that samo miserable form or seven years. Iu February, 1889, he cad in a liowspapcrfof a case like his I >wn having been cured by Mother! ieigcl's Curative Syrup, but inasmuch . p the best medical advice in London nis of no nse. what could bo expected worn an advertised medicine ?" Nothing, '. course," said Mr Lnnpan. ■.; I differently^ i " You \ y Seigel's Syrup," she said, " titeryboiy jTi mh mil o/'ft', (Ho did;try it, and) in \ rco months ho was woll, and lias been 1> pll ever since.. In a letter dated Dot Wbcr tfth, 1891, ho'says, "Mothor • igol's Cnratiyo Syrup saved my life," fd signs Ms name • to; what lie says—.'Wank Stanley Langman, 44, Chambertjßpad.BrocHoy.'' ;.;;,•,:, , ismaladywasnot.heart,disease or j jurs, but indigestion and dyspepsia; 1 ipso of almost all pangs and pains, ( them what yon wi11.'..,•; I< [rlaiigmanips saved.by good-ad-v and.agood ; mcdicine,for which ho is g cfnl.''
