TEN MONTH'S SUFFERING LN A HOSPITAL. Thure is an old saying that physicaus are ;i class of men who pour drugs, of which thcv know little, into bodys of which they know U-.-"*. There is both true ami uutruo lawyers, and good and poor doctors. The trou'lile with these medical i:entli>.n.;>n as a profession is that they are clannish, and upt. to bo conceited. They don't liko to be beaten .it their own tnuits by outsiders who have, never studied medicine. They therefore pay, by their frequent failures, the penalty "of refusing , iuslruetion unless the eaeher bears their own ' Hull Mark.' An eminent, physician—-Dr. BrownSeqnard, i>f Paris—statesthefact accurately when he say*: ' The medical profession are so b'mnd'up in their self-confidence and conceit that they allow '.he diamond truths of science to be picked up by person* entirely outside their ranks.' We i-'ivo a most interestin.tr incident, which illustrates this important, truth. The steamship ' Concordia.'of theDonaldson Line, sailed from Glasgow for Baltimore in ISS7, having , on board as a fireman a man named Richard Wade, of Glasgow He had been a iirwnan for fourteen years on various whips sailing , to America, Cbina, and India He had borne the hard and exhaustinir labour, and hail been healthy uid strong. On the trip we now name he tiegau fur the first, time to feel vvettk and ill. His appetite failed, >v.d ha suffered from drowsiness, heartburn, ft bud taste in the mouth, find costivenesrt mid irregularity of tiie bowels. Sometimes when at work he hud attacks of giddiness, but supposed it to bo caused by the heat of the tire-room. Quite often he was. sick and felt l> We vomiting, and had some pain iv tho head. Later during tho paasago he grew worse, and when tho ship reached Halifax ho was. placed iti the Victoria General Hospital, and tho ship nailed away without him. The house surgeon gave him some powders to stop tho vomiting, and tho next day the visiting physician gave him a mixture to take every "four hours. Within two days Wade was so much worse that the doctors stopped both the powders and the mixture. A month passed, the poor fireman getting worse and worse. Then camo another doctor, who was _to be visiting physicians for the nest live mouths. "Ho gave other medecineH, but not much relief. Nearly till that time Wade auilered great torture ; he digested nothing, throwing up all he ate. There was terrible pain iv the bowels, burning heat in the throat, heartburn, iind racking headachy. The patieut was now taking ft mixture very four hours, powders one after each meal to digest the food, operating pills one every night, and temptraturo pillK two each night to wtop the cold sweats. If drugs could cure him at all, Kichard had an idea that lie took enough to do it. But on the other hand pleurisy set in und the doctor* too!; Miiety ounces 'of mutter from his riyhi side, and then told him hu wus sure to die. Five months more rolled by, and there was another change of visiting physicians. Tin' ono gave Wade a mixture \vhi<;h ■he suid vimie htm iremhk Hie a lot/on a tree. i At this crisis Wade's Scotch blood , asserted itself. He refused to stand any dosing ; and told tho doctore thut if he i must die lie could die as well without them : as with i.hem. By this time a cup of milk ■ would turn Hour on his stomach and lie there for days. Our friend from Glasgow i was liko a wreck on » shoal, fast going to pieces. We will let him tell the rest of his experience in the words in -which ho communicated it to the press. ; He says : ' When I was in thin state it > lady whom I had rii'ver seen camo to tho . hospital and talkid with 7ue. She proved to bo an angel of mercy, for without her I \ should not now bt« alive. She told me of v . medicine called ' Mother Si.-igel's Cur.iUvo Syrup, , and brought mo a battle next Any. . 1 started with it, without consulting the doctors, and in onhi a few di*/*' time lira* I oi,t< l fhnleam, l <ift,, : h«m,ini, i !j-.for breakfast. f From this litno keeping on with Mother j Seigel's great remedy, 1 go', well fast, and < was booh ab!e to leave the, hospital and ;. come home to Glasgow I now fell as if I ; was in another wurid, and have no illness , of any kind.' i The above facts are calmly and impartially - stated, and the reader may draw his own conclusion.
