TEN DAYS LOST FROM A LIFE. HAVE you ever tried to fancy how it might teem (having been dead) to come to life again ? Let me tell yon what happened to me once. Eaily in the spring of 18711 was thrown from a carriage and seriously hurt. The chief injury was to the right leg below the knee-a deep and ragged cut made by a sharp edged stone. The first sni gi cal attention given it was hasty and unscientific, yet thus I journeyed 200 miles to my home in the country. Blood-poisoning followed. Then several weeks of acute pain and exhausting fever. Then the crisis. For ten days and nights I was absolutely unconscious— I was virtually dead. The heart still beat feebly, but the mind was sunk under Oblivion's sea. ( f 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 saw bending over me the dear faces I used to know. The was gone; the pain was gone—my-head was cool and clear. My wife opened wide the job, the bright sunshine! Oh the see the olonds of apple blossoms g&ftuSS the old orchard! Oh. to le alive! to hear familiar voices once more 1 The ezpeiience was very suggestive. As never before 1 understood the Divine doctrine 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 tamed Aldeison, and lives at a place called Sink’s Grove, West Virginia. Ho is a gentleman of high character. He said: “ Seven years ago to day 1 took my weight on the scales, in company with two or three ftit-cd-. I weighed ezsody 1851b, and was never in better health in my life. 1 could work without effort and sleep like a tired baby. Two months later I began to feel bevvy and dull. There was mo: e or less pain in my cheat, 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 rack. The lightest food lay on my stomach like cold iron. There was a nasty metallic taste in my month, and a sickening wind came up with sometimes a sour mucus that bit my throat like an acid. My skin s t yellow, and my feet and bauds cold and damp. My tongue was coated. I had spells 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 knew how to dc. Yet I kepi; slipping down the hill. Then came a cough. N > medicine bed any ffLct on it. People whispered ‘ He’s going with consumption,’ acd 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 op everything—oven sweet milk. The doctor said I must get better or die. and that right away. I was now 100 weak to walk; I cou d only totter and stagger. “ A friend came In one day and said ‘Alderson, you ate lu bad form. 1 wish I had know-, it sooner; but I’m afraid It’s too lae now.’ ' What would you have done?’ I asked. ‘I should have insisted on your taking Mother Saigel's Curative Syrup, and nothing else,’ he replied. ‘ I have seeo it care lots of such cases, though none as bad as yours,’ ‘Let us try it even now,’l begged.’ Wo did so; one bottle seemed to do mo no good. Weeks went by, and I stuck to Mother heigcl. I began to sleep and cat a little; I was able to go out a few days afterwards. One day, being hungry, 1 ate a full meal at the house of a neighbor. It was the first for months—l was afraid it wonld kill me. Bid it? No, I felt the better for it. ‘ Hurrah for Mother Scige!,’ I cried, ‘she will cure me.’ And she did. To day I am as healthy and hearty as I was on New Year’s Day, 1883, “ My disease wnv indigestion and dyspep-io. and the dropsy is one of its moat alarming symptoms, When the liver and kidneys are partialiy paralysed, the fluids of the body remain iu the ti-snes, which Is dropsy. 1 tell you the ailment above all others to be afraid of is the one I had, and the only euro for it that 1 know of is the remedy that snatched me almost from the very jaws of death.” Thus happily ended the experience of my American friend.
