THEY WONDERED TO SEE HIM

"f coi((<t no f - move a y<*rd wir.Ao.tt help, lean now tcalkfor mites A* There is oeruialy a very sharp contrast between these two statements. When we see a person who, because of illness, is unable to move a yard without help, we do not expect to meet him on the road and on foot miles from home soon thereafter; if indeed, we meet him at all. At least we should regard these extremes, oontinued as nrithiu the experience of the stun* man, and enclosed within a comparatively brief period of time, a* something to wonder at and ask questions about. And people rfirf wonder at and inquire about it. Many said the ciroumstanoes recalled the age of miracles, supposed to have passed forever away. The facts (briefly set forth in a letter from the mau himself) are as follows. We may add that Mr. Henry Jaokson is a farmer, well known and respected in his district, and his case is familiar to neighbour* and friends of his throughout the ""ffihe c rly part of 1892," says Mr. Jaokson, "1 began to feel weak and ailin* I was low in spirits, Mid my bodily strength seemed to be leaving m e There was a bad and nauseous taste in my mouth ; my JBPfatot which had always been good, failed until I had no real desire for food whatever, and after eating I had much pain at the chest and a iullne<B ,af°«« d * he ides Mystomaoh always felt burning hot, andi had a gnawing pain at the pit of it-. , „,. "I remained in this general condition until August of the same year, when I Wft9 taKea worse- My- lege, began to swell, and rheumatism eet ia. *3X OWT me, more particularly in the hips and back. No local treatment had any effect upon it. It gi?w worse and worse, until I was no longer able to riso from my chair without assistance. In truth, I had no power over myself, and could not move a yard without help. "I suffered so with nvere pam that 1 could not lie in bed, and for over twelve months I never had my clothes on. "During this time I wa* attended day and night, being literally unable to do anything of importance for myself. All the sleep I got was taken in naps an ■ snatohes while I was bolstered up in my usual place in an easy chair. Under the terrible strain of the pain and lots of proper rest ray nerves broke down so that any unoommon event in the bouse or noise Wa*» more than I oould bear. My heart was very bad, and thumped until I could scarcely stay in the cbair and endure it. "The dootor who had oharge of my case said my oondidon was oritical. He j,aid that my lungs and liver were badly affected, and tbat I had Bright's disease of the kidneys. Still his medicines did tne no good, and after attending m* ien montns he said he oould do no more

for me. «I then got a doctor from Bolton to see me, and he held out but slender hopes of my ever getting any better I thought the same, and so did all who saw me. , __ -Iv October, 1893,mydaughtrr,Mrs. Dickinson, of Bolton, told me how she had been benefited by taking Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and thought it might possibly help me. I had small faith, but there could be no harm in trying. So we sent at onoe to Mr Pare, the chemist, in Fold Road, Bolton, for enough to decide whether it would do me good or not. After taking it a short time I was better. I could deep better, and had some appetite for food, and what I ate agreed with me. This was hopeful and cheering indeed. •*I kept on with the Syrup and it acted wonderfully with me. The worst symptoms abate.l, and I gained strength. Boon all the water in my legs passed off, and the rheumatism troubled me but little. Still using the Syrup, my, condition continued to improve in every respect, until I once more stood on my feet, and felt like a man of this world. I can now walk for miles and have no piin. All my friends think as I do — that under the ciroumstanoes my re-

covery was nothing short of marvellous. You are at liberty to publish this statement, and refer any interested persons to me (Signed) Henry Jaokson, Pewitt Hill, Culchetoh, near Warrington, Ootober Oth, 1895." No words of ours can add to the con« yinciog force of Mr. Jackson's plain statement. His disease was, originally and radically of the digestion. Tho attack was sharp and profound, and developed into the resulting conditions he so well desoribes He. may not have had Bright's disease, but that he was directly progressing towards that fatal malady there is no doubt. The effect of Mother Seigel's Syrup in hi. oase only serves to show, afresh its rare and Temarkable power. Scarcely is co great a victory to be looked for from any medioine. Yet the fects are undeniable. Ws congratulate Mr. Jaokson on his esoape from a danger whioh was much more serious than even lie probably imagined.
