A FEW INCHES OF PLAIN ENGLISH. KJ V* O.VO. IS3 men are tiuiug an ov»i un iu J3I wonders by means o! electricity, both in mechanics and in chemistry. I see by the papers that they expect to be able" to produce real diamonds by it. Perhaps they may; marvels never cease, iiut we will wait till they do before we crow over that job. Up to this time, anyway, everything that is both valuable and useful is the fruit of hard work. Even diamonds are mostly got out of rocky mines. And, within reasonable limits, it is good for us to have £o work. Ten shillings honestly earned' is better for a man than twenty in the shape of a legacy. The best condition of things for any country would be when fair wages could bo earned straight along, without loss or deduction for any reason. But in the present aspeot of human affairs this is impossible. Who3e fault it is we cannot now discuss, One source of loss, however, is plain enough, and some remedy for it ought to be found. In England and Wales every working man averages I ten days of illness per year, making the total J loss of wages from this cause about £16,000,000 TIT- i-11.1v,™ „f *U» n „«,or.n T>mi I ill every year, this average does not fairly show any given year many will lose no time at all, while others may lose individually from ten days to six- months each. No charity, no' savings, no inoome from clubs, etc, can make up for this, even in money alone, to say nothing of the pain and the misery. Alluding to an experience of his in 1888 Mr George lagdon says: "I had to give up my work " How this came to pass he tells us in a letter dated from his home in White Bouse road, Stebbing, near Dunmow, August 24,1892. He had no inherited disease or weakness, so far as he knew, and was always strong and well up to April of that year—lßßß. Then his strength and energy began to leave him. He felt tired, not as from work, but as from power gone out of him through some bodily failure. He sat down to his meals, but not with his old eagerness and relish. There was a nasty copper-like taste in his mouth, his teßth and tongue were covered with slime, and his throat clogged with a kind of thick phlegm, difficult to "hawk up" and eject. He also speaks- of a nagging pain in the stomach, flatulency, and much palpitation of the heart as having been among his symptoms. &a the ailment —whatever it "w,9^r-progressed he began to have a hacking' cough, which, he says, seemed as if it must shake aim to,pieces. He could scarcely sleep on acoount of ik One of the most alarming.features of his illness, however, were the night sweats, for tho reason that they showed tho existence of a source of weakness whioh must soon, unless arrested, end in total prostration. In fact, he was obliged to give up his work altogether. To. him—as to any once active man—this Was like being buried One doctor whom Mr Lagdon consulted said he was consumptive, and it did.indeed, lookrthat way. "For twelve weeks." ho says, "I went on like this, getting weaker and weaker, and having reason to believe that it would end in my taking the one journey from which no travcllor returns. "It was now July—summer time, wheu lire to the healthy is so pleasant and full of hope. At this time my sister-in-law got from Mr Linsells, Stebbing, a medicine that I had not tried yet. After having used one bottle I felt better, and when I had used the second I was oured, and have not lost an hour's work since." The reader will notice that between tho date of his taking this medicine and'the date ot his letter there is an interval of four years. We may, therefore, infer that hw cure was real and permanent. The medicine, by the way, was Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. It is not likely he will forget its name nor what it did for him. His disease was indigestion and dyspepsia, the deadly enemy of every laboring man or woman under the Bun, no matter what they work at or work with—hands, brains, or both. Is it necessary to draw a moral —schoolbook style—from these facts? No, it is not. We have talked plain English, and that is enough.
