PAWNING A PAIR OP TROUSERS FOR MEDICINE. Jamjsß Francis Tuomas lives in Ponlnewynyßil, near Pontypool, Mommouthshirc, Ua is now twenty-three years of age, living with his mother, a widow. Some eleven years ago, then a mere boy, he went to work in the coal pit as a miner, in order to assist his mother in rearing her family < f litt'e children. Soon, however, the litila fellow broke down in health ; but the necessities of the family seemed to require it, aud ho continued to toi in the mines, suffers ing all the time from the effects of iudige - lion, an agonising symptom being asthma, in such a troublesome form that the boy was unable to lie in bed. Working through the i ay. and resting as best he eoul lin a arm-chair during ihe night, naturally undermined his consiutiou. Year by year his health grew worse aud worse, until at last rheumatism came with ali its dreadful agony. Oae joint after another became swollen aud inflamed, so that he was obliged to stop work. In this sad plight the now young man was confined to the house for two long years, suffering ad that 11,01 1 1 could enduie One physician after anothi r was called upon to treat his complaint, b t with no benefit for the poor follow coatiiiued to grow worse aud worse. Hoping to Imd some means of relief, a consultation of doctors was held, when it was decided that an organic disease of the heart existed in an incurable form, aud that medical aid could not afford relief. He was given up to die. These years of expensive medical treatment had exhausted the little savings of the moth r, and they had kio money to buy even the necessaries of life. But a fond mother never gives up in despair, i here was on spark of hope left. Someone had told her of a remedy that cured so many cases—-even when as hopeless as this one seemed to be and the mother’s love went out for her dear boy. But how to get tue medicine was the question. Their money was entirely gone The boy had a new p.dr of trousers that he had been to ill to wea-, and the mother reasoned within herself, “ if the boy is to die he will not need them, so 1 may as well pledge them for medicine with an effort to save his life.” IS trance as it may appear, the bottles of medicine procured at the chemist’s .-hop in Pontypool With the money obtained from the pawubroker effected a cure in tnis hopeless case, which had been pronounced as incurable. But it is only just to say that if the chemist had known of the wants of the family the medicine could have been obtained without a visit to the pawnbroker. It is now nearly two years since this took place, and young dames hrancis Thomas has been working iu tbe coal-pit underground ever since, earning extra pay for over-work, which he is able to perform. Of course, he never had 01 game disease of the heart, as was suppose.'. Ihe palpitation, rheumatism, aud asthma were symptoms of the real disease, which was dyspepsia, or indigestion, for which the remedy was specially adapted. Those who wish to communicate with this young man can write to him at the above address, and he will vouch for the curative properties of Seigel 3 Syrup, the article that effected this almost miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, who thought he following fact should be made known: James Francis Thomas, of I’ontnewynydd near Pontypool, age twenty-three, collier! was ill for nine years, u able to do any wor for three years, never lay down m bud for nine years, had to sleep in a stooping p isture, was ti eated by nearly all the doctors tor miles around who genera ly stated his complaint to be rheumatism and heart disease of a chronic uaiure, and beyond all power to cure. When hope had nearly died out, he was persuaded to try Seigel’s Syrup ; and, to the delight of his relatives and astonishment of his neighbours after taking half a bottle he could he down in bed. After ta king one bottle he went to work. Has now taken two bottles, aud on with the third, and is now quite well and strong. His mother is in raptures, and can talk ot nothing else but this marvelous cure, and wishes me to make it known.” 15th August, 1883.

Wilts, informs me that he suffeied from a severe form of ndigestioa for upwards ot four years, and took no end of doctor’s medicine without the slightest benefit, and declares Mother Suiters Syrup which he got from me has saved his life.
