(PAWNING A PUK OP TROUSERS FOR MEOiCISE. I James Francis Thomas lives in Ponlnewynydd, near Fouiypool, AJ ommouthshire. Ho is now twenty-three years of age, living with hia 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 cl htc'e children. Soon, however, the little fellow broke down in health- j but the necessities of the family seemed to require it, and he continued to toil in the mines, suffer, ing all the time from the effects of indigestion, an agonising symptom being asthma, in such a troublesome that the boy was unable to He in bod. Working through the day, and resting as best he could in a arm-chair during the night, naturally undermined his consiution. Year by year his health grew worse and worse, until at last rheumatism came wiih all its dreadful agony. One joint after another tk-cama swollen and inflamed, so that h\ was obliged to stop work. In this sad plieat the now young man was confined to the house for two long years, suffering ad that mortal could endure. One physician after another was called upon to treat his complaint, but with no benefit for the poor fellow continued to grow worse and worse. Hoping to lind some means of relief, a conseltaoion of doctors was held, when it was decided that an organic disease of the heart existed in ah incurable form, and 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 mother, and they had no money to buy even the necessaries of life. But a fond mother never gives up in despair. There was on spaik of hope left. Someone had told her of a remedy that cured so many oases—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 tno medicine was the question. Their money was entirely gone The buy had a new pur of trousers taat he had been to ill to wean and the mother reasoned within herself, “ if the boy is to die he will not need them, so I niay as well pie Ige them for medicine with an effort to save his life.” Strange as it may appear, the bottles of medicine procured at the chemist’s shop in Poutypool with the money obtained from the pawnbroker effected a cure in tiiis 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 James Francis Thomas has been working in the coal-pit underground ever since, earning extra pay for over-wcik, which he is able to perform. Of course, he never had organic disease of the heart, as was supposed The palpitation, rheumat sm, and asthma were symptoms of the real disease, which was dyspepsia, or indigestion, for which the remedy was specially adapted. Those wbo wish to communicate with this young man can write to him at the above address, and he will vouch for the curative propel lies of SeigeTs syrup, the article that effected this almost miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, who thought the following fact should be made known : lt .fames Francis Thomas, of Foutnewynydd, near Pontypiol, age twenty-three, collier, was ill for nine years, u able to do any work for three years, never lay down in bed for nine years, had to sleep in a stooping posture, wastieated by nearly ail the doctors for miles around who genera ly stated his complaint to be rheumatism and heart disease of a chronic name, and beyond all power to cure. When hope had nearly died out, he was persuaded to try Soigei’s Syrup j and, to the delight of bis relatives and astonishment of his neighbours, after takiug half a bottle he could lie down in bed. After taking one bottle he went to work. Has now taken two bottles, and on with the third, and is now quite well and strong. His mother is in raptures, and can talk of notbiug else but this marvelous cure, and wishes me to make it known. ”
