COURT APPOINTMENTS.

j Juno. Roxburgh ... Tuesday, 16th, v Cromwell ... Friday, 19 th. e - i He Came Home to Dio. One day in December 18SS, a British ■ transport vessel arrived at Cosport. Only 3 a brief look was needed to assure the spec- * tator that she had made the long voyage 3 from India. There were soldiers on s board ; some on leave of absence to visit home and others so worn and wasted that it was plain to see why then had come back , from the East to the dear old Island. Of 3 these poor fellows a few were able to go 1 on to their friends, while others were just strong enough to bear the journey to the t Navy Yard Hospital. * ! Among the latter was one to whom wo will introduce the reader —You would 1 have fancied him to have been about ■ thirty years of age, yet the vigor and 1 elasticity of youth were missing. Disease ( had done the work of time, and it was but the wreck of a man that entered the Hospital doors that day. Several mouths later, by acci.lent, the writer of these lines heard that soldier’s story from his own lips, and here it is sub stantiallv in his own words. “In the year 1883,’ he said, ‘ I enlisted in Her Majesty’s 51st Regiment and was soon ordered out to India where I arrived on the following Christmas ; and left there for Burmah Oct, 6th 1886, where I remained eighteen months, being present at Mandalay when King Theebaw surrendered to our troops. Here my good health began to give way. At first I had a sinking feeling at. the pit of the stomach, and was so dull and drowsy I could scarcely keep up. I had pain in the right side and under the shoulder blades. My spirits were depressed and everything seemed sad and melancholy. I coulcln t eat, and lay in bed sleepless night after night till I was almost wild for tack of rest. My skin and eyes turned yellow, as is so common with Europeans in India ; my tongue was badly coated, feet cold and clammy, stomach sick and upset, vomitiusr, and constant diarrhoea. In this bad form I lay in bed for four months in 1887. Both the Regimental doctor and a doctor of the Indian Government said I was suffering from dysentery. I was weak as a baby, and passed nothing but slime from the bowels. No treatment availed to stop the diarrhoea which was fast draining the < life out of me. Finally I was sent home, ; and arrived at Gosport in December 1888, where 1 lay in the Hospital until Feb. 1889, when I was discharged as incur ah e, and placed in the Army Reserve “ I returned to Warboys, in Huntingdonshire (my home), and tried to vyotk, < But it was impossible. I was so emaciated I that old acquaintances did not at first | ! recognise me. Then they said, ‘ Hodson, ’ you needn’t trouble to buy any more I clothes. The only suit you’ll require will j be a wooden box.’ I After eating, even a little I was obliged < to burry from the table because of the - terrib'e griping, gnawing pains in the 1 stomach and bowels. My father and j mother were alarmed, and I consulted a ‘ doctor at Warboys, but what he gave me 1 had no good effect. . * “At last it was Mr Nicholl, the chemist 1 of Warboys (now of Croydon), who said to 1 me, * Hodson, you had better try Mother t Seigel’s Curative Syrup.’ On this I bought t a bottle and used it, but I couldn’t see it i did any good. Mr Nicholl said, ‘ Try it 1 a"ain. I have such confidence in it that I J will give you the second bottle free of I charge.’ He did so and before I had taken half of the second bottle I began to feel relief. ' q 1 his was encouraging, and I procured the s third bottle. Before I finished it I was so i much improved that I was asked to go 8 back to work. But I was afraid to risk t it, and said, No ; wait till I have used , f three bottles more, for this Mother Seigel’s \ Curative Syrup is doing for me what no r medicine in India or England has done yet 1 —it is healing me from the very depths i t where I was ill ami dying. , I 1 So, as you may suppose, I kept right 1 g along with Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup o until' the fifth bottle was gone. Then I f presented myself to the astonished people v of Warnoys as robust, strong, arid well, as a 1 was when I first entered the army. I i returned to my work, and rug conirad''S t >o dcM upon me as one risen from the dead, a With eyes full of wonder they asked, 7 < What has done this for you ? ’ and I 1 answered * I owe my life and health to L Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup, and am c willing that everybody in England should t hear me say so ’ I have never lost an f hour’s work since, and will gladly reply to t letters of enquiry,—John Hodson, War- a boys, Huntingdonshiie, J Mr Hodson’s real disease was indigestion s and dyspepsia, caused by change of cli- c mate, food and habits. The diarrhoea \ was one of its symptoms—Natures effort f to get r’d of the poisonous matters in the 1 stomach and bowels. Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup cured the digestive malady, and the symptoms vanished as a necessary consequence. But our friend did not get v the right and only remedy a day too soon. J
