TEN DAYS LOST FROM A LIFE. 'AVE yon ever tried to fancy how it might . eeem (having been dead) to come to life again ? Let me tell you what happened to me Early in the spring of 18711 was thrown from a oarrißge and seriously hurt. The chief injury was to the right leg below the knee—a deep and ragged cnt made by a Bharpedged atone. The first surgical attention given it waa hasty and unscientific, yet thus I journeyed 200 miles to my home in the country. Blood-poisoning followed. Then several weeks of aoute pain and exhausting fever. Then the crisis. For ten days and nights I was absolutely unconscious— I was virtnally dead. The heart still beat feebly, but the mind waa sunk under Oblivion's sea. Gf that time I never remembered anything ; it is lost out of my history. One morning I found myself—l was back to the world I used to live in ; I taw bending over me the dear faces I used to know. The fever was (tone; the pain was gone—my head was cool and clear. My wife opened wide the windows. Ob, the bright sunshine! Oh the sweet, warm air! Oh. the bird songs! Oh, to see the clouds of apple blossoms that glorified the old orchard! Oh, to be alive! to hear familiar voices once more ! The experience wa.ii very suggestive. As never before I understood the Divine dootrine of the resurrection of the dead. So much for my story. Now let me tell you another man's story, as he told it to me. He is an American earned Alderson, and lives at a place called Sink's Grove, West Virginia. He is a gentleman of high character. He said: " Seven years ago to-day I took my weight on the scales, in company with two or three f riandt. I weighed exactly 1851b, and was never in better health in my life. I could work without effort and sleep like a tired baby. Two months later I began to feel he»vy and dull. There was more or less pain in my chest, sides, and lower part of the back, I lost my appetite, and the kidney secretion was dark, thick, and scanty. Six weeks after I was down with the dropsy. 'For four months I suffered like a martyr en the raok. The lightest food lay on my stomach like cold Iron. There was a nasty metallic taßte in my mouth, and a sickening wind came up with sometimes a sour mucus that bit my throat like an acid. My skin g t yellow, and my feet and hands cold and damp. My tongue was coated. I had Bpells of giddiness and palpitation of the heart to that degree I expected to tumble down and die almost anywhere. " I was in this condition five years. Every remedy I heard of I tried, and good physicians did all they kLew how to do. Yet I kept slipping down the hill. Then came a cough. No couph medicine had any <-ffcct on it. People whispered 'He's going with consumption,' and I thought so, too. But it wasn't consumption. Not a bit. My lungs were sound as a new bellows, so I found out afterwards. This is a common mistake. I threw up everything—even sweet milk. The doctor Bald I must get better or die. and that right away. I was now too weak to walk; I could only totter and stagger. "A friend came in one day and Bald 'Aiderson, you are in bad form. I wish I had known it sooner; but I'm afraid it's too late now.' 'What would you bave done?' I asked 'I Bhould have insisted on your taking Mother Seigcl's Curative Syrup, and nothing else,' he replied. 'I i a?e seen it cure lots of such cases, though none as bad as yours.' 'Let us try it even now,' I begged.' We did so; one bottle seemed to do me no good. Weeks went by, and I stuck to Mother t-eigel. I began to sleep and eat a little; I was able to go out a few days afterwards. One day, being hungry, I ate a full meal at the house of a neighbor. It was the first for months—l was afraid it would kill me. Hid it? No, I felt the better for it. 'Hurrah for Mother Seige!,' I cried, 'she will curti me.' Atd Bhe did. To day lam as healthy and hearty as I was on New Year's Day, 1883. " My disease waa indigestion and dyspepua, and the dropsy is oDe of its most alarming symptoms. Wn«n the liver and kidneys are partial'y paralysed, the fluids of the body remain iu the ti»Bues, which is dropsy. I tell you the ailment above all others to be afraid of \? the one I had, and the only cure for it that I know of is remedy that snatched me almost from the very jaws of death." Thus happily ended the experience of my American friend. R.W.S. London, October 27,1890.
