Ho Samo Homo to Dio. One clay in December 1888, a British transport vessel arrived at Oosport. Only a brief look was needed to assure the spectator that she had made the lout' voyage from India. There were soldiers on hoard; some on leave of absence to visit i home and others so worn and wasted that it was plain to see why than had comeback from the East to the dear old Island Of those poor follows a few wei e able to go on to their friends, while others were just strong enough to bear the journey to the Navy Yard Hospital. Among the latter was one to whom we will introduce the reader —You would have fancied him to have been about thirty years of age, yet the vigor and elasticity of youth were missing. Disease had done the work of time and it was hut the wreck of a man that entered the Hospital doors tint day. Several months later, by accident, the writer of these lines heard that soldiers story from Ids 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 Get. 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 siua ilia 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 eouldn t eat, and lay in bed sleepless night after night till I was almost wild for lack 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, stomacn sick and upset, vomiting, and constant diarr luea, 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 suD ferin.g 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 I lay in the Hospital until Fell. 1889, when I was dischanjed m incurable, xnd placed in the Anny Reserve. “I returned to Warboys, in Huntinglonshirc (my home), and tried to woik. due it was impossible. I was so emaciated | :hat old acquaintances did nob at first ’ecognise me. Then they said, ‘ Hudson, fou needn’t trouble to buy any more •lothes. The only suit you’ll require will ie a wooden box. After eating, even a little, I was obliged ;o hurry from the table because of the icrrible griping, gnawing pains in the itomach and bowels. My father and nothcr were alarmed, and I consulted a lector at Warboys, but what he gave me iad no good efloct. “ At. Get. it w!i.s Mr Nieholl. the chemist

of War’ooys (now of Oroy«lou). who said to rne , • jl.xl.io.i, you had hotter try Mother Soigel’s Curative Syrup.’ On this I bought a bottle and used it, but I couhln t sec i! did any good. Mr Nieholl said 5> 1 Try it tWiiu. I have such confidence in it that I will give you the second bottle free of charge.’ Ho did so, and before I had taken half of the second bottle I began to feei relief. This was encouraging, and I procured the third bottle. Before I finished it I was so much improved that i was asked to go back to work. But I was afraid to risk it, and said, No; wait till I have used three bottles more, for this Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup is doing for me what no medicine in India or England has done yet • —it is healing me from the very depths where [ was ill and dying. So, as yon may suppose, I kept right along with Mother Seigcl’s Curative Syrup until’ the fifth bottle was gone. Then I presented myself to the astonished people of Warboys as robust, strong, and well, as I was when I first entered the army. I returned to my work, and my conned'* In •kc I niioa me a* one rlwnfrnm the dead. With eyes full of wonder they asked, ‘What has done this for you?’ and I answered I owe my life and health to Mother Seigcl’s Curative Syrup, and am willing that everybody in England should hoar mo say so ’ I have never lost an hour’s work since, and will gladly reply to letters of enquiry,—John Hudson, Warboys, Himtingdonshiie. Mr ITodson’s real disease was indigestion and dyspepsia, caused by change of climate, food and habits. The diarrhoea was one of its symptoms —Natures effort to get rid of the poisonous matters in the 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 the right and only remedy a day too soon
