"THIS MAN WAS FRIGHTENED."

Atid on reading tho fucta it. will appear that he had reason to be. Tho man referred to was Edward IVrciu, a guard on the Manchester, Phelli'jld, and Linfolnnhiro Knilway. In September, 1387, ho met with an accident, which gave a temporary shock to his system. Not- long afterwards he began to feel v pain in the cheat and have difficulty in breathing, and throw up a great deal of mucus (phlegm). He at once concluded ha had soino serious ailment of the lungs, and sought medical advice. Tho doctor paid it was so, and added that there was no cm, for it, and that ho could do no more tbuu givo him something , to ease tho pain and the oough. Then the doctor gava Mr Perrin a certificate ftatinjr that he w;m HU<foring from "Cutnrrl.l Phthisis," which is tho professional term for that dreadful malady, Consumption. Further symptoms soon appeared which seemed to coDiirm this alarming opinion. Tho poor follow experienced great pinu in eating and a.tightness ucro.-'j tho ohept which felt, ho said, "as if some strong man was gripping him around tho body under tho arms."

The rest of Mr Perrin's narnilivo is beet related in hi* own uor;ls. Ho ciiys :"I coon commenced to have a brnckt*h taste in the month us if I had been sucking copper. Then MMii cold chills at;d sweiits in turn, ilio cough got hollow, und I raised moTe than I had done. These torrilie '•ymptorns w scar.."l me that I we:it and consulted tho Into Dacro Fox, who was »t thtit time Can ultiiig Phyfiemn t.i the R'lihvay Comp:my and t> , the Infirmary. Flu ox<imiucd me earefu'ly, and ccrtiiioii as followi : —

''In the case of Guard Porriu. This man U evidently frighteiu'd. fie is suffering from Phthisis and Dyspepsia. Cod liver oil und iron uro indii:ut>;il.

" This fully bore out whit, the other doctor had mud,, ho 1 now looked upon myself as douo for. I toyk every tiling I could hear tell of. I tmve drunk gallons of cod liver oil and sherry, aud have had many quuts of cainphornti-cl oil rubbed on irty until my wife was sick of rubbing. I w'is also poulticed cjntiinmHy, but in of ,-i!l thiij dosing uni. medicating I got gradually -worse. Iv hulf-a-iln/nn words my condition was this: I b-:liijv!..il niy.-n.lt' to by fast truing to the grave with eotthtimption ; my friends said w>, the ddc'ori) Fiiid ho, nnd it looked like it if Miij-jliiuir ever did. It is uinlersTood that consumption is sura death, and I made up my i/i:7i<! for Jli.it awful ci.d. 1 hud been oil' my work from t dt>7 to IMBS.

I could scarcely credit my own fu'.'lings but us nun; us truth is truth, before I had iiKed up that bottlo of medicine, I found relief. Now conten what you may find it hard to boliove —I took but two more bottles and went b;ick to work, and have been sound and healthy ever .-incie. I told the doctor about it, and, although he Haw I was well, he coetuud tlinpleased. " You Hay Mother Seigel's Curativo Syrup cured your' ho said. ' Nonsense. It is only a quack medicine ; it is nothing but htuff. and rubbi.ih.' Woll, «11 right, I said to myself, it may be stuff and rubbinh, but it has made a sound man of me after that very doctor had me booked for tho graveyard, and said no earthly power could Ueup mo out of it. That was enough for me, and will b« enough for thousands of others in this country. " I am exposed to all sorts of weather, but have never had a return of th-j bad breathing, chest pains, nor any of tho other eymptons that nearly frightened me out of nt "HtiJitfes. I pat and enjoy ray food as well an <a England. Now, what was the any man ;; tl wM - ( lf L rL , ull } d secret othjHg, " Lj short oi a consumphon lt was ""^lLytUn {at iniraolo ; but X never nn.il cjii... -A all. Tho doctors woro all -wrong in caiuu ~ it that. What I actually suffered from was indigestion and dyspepsia, which causes thy samo symptoms that mark true consumption; henco lots of people who aro supposed to have Jung complaint might bo as easily cured as I was if they would lot cod liver oil ulone and take Mother Soigel's Syrup."

Mr Porrin'tj address is—No. 30, Gorton Brook Street, Gorton Brook, Manchester, England, and ho will reply to any letters written to him <:oucurniujr"his case.
