PAWNING A PAIR OP TROUSERS POK MEDICINE. TAMES FRANCIS THOMAS lives in Pouttil r.cwytiydd, iwir Poutypo.il, Monmouthshire. Jlc in now tweaty-Lbrvo years of ago, living with hi* mother, a widow. Some eleven years into, then • mere toy, he went to work in the coal-pit as a miner, in order to assist his mother in rearing her family ot little children. Soon, however, the little fellow broke down in health ; but the necessities of the family seemed to require >t, and he continued to toil in the mines, suffering all the time from the effects of indigestion, an agonising symptom being asthma, in such a troublesome form that the boy was unable to lie in bed. Working through the day, and resting os best ho could in an arm-chair during the night, naturallv undermined his constitution. Year by year his health grew worse and worse, anti) at last rheumatism came with all its dreadful agony. One joint after another became swollen and inflamed, so that he was obliged to atop work. In this sad plight, the now young man was confined to the house for two long years, suffer:nc all that mortal could endure. One physician after another was called upon to treat bis complaint, hut with no benefit, for the poor fellow continued to grow worse and worse. Hoping to find some means of relief, a consultation of doctors was held, when it was decided that an organic disease of the heart existed in an incurable form, and that medical aid could not afford relief. He was civen up to die. These years of expensive medical treatment had exhausted the little savings of the mother, and they had no money to buy even the necessaries of life. But a fond mother never gives up in despair. There was one spark of hope left. Someone had told her of a remedy that had cured so many cases—even when as hopeless as this one seemed t« be and the mother’s love went out for her dear hoy. Bat bow to get the medicine was the question. Their money was entirely gone. The boy had a now pair of trousers that he had been too ill to wear, and the mother reasoned within herself, “ If the boy is to die he will not need them, so I may as well pledge them for medicine with as effort to save his life. - ' Strange as it may appear,. the bottles ot medicine procured at the chemist's shop in Pontypool with tbe money obtained from the pawnbroker effected a cure in this hopeless ease, which had been pronounced as incurable. But it is only just to say that if the chemist had known of the wants of the family the medicine could have been obtained without a visit to the pawnbroker, it is now nearly two years since this took place, and young James Francis Thomas has been working in the coal-pit underground ever since, earning extra pay for over-work, which he is able to perform. Of course, he never had organic disease of the heart, as was supposed. The palpitation, rheumatism, and asthma were mere symptoms of the real disease, which was dyspepsia, or indigestion. for which the remedy was specially adapted. These who wish to communicate with this young man can write to him at the above address, and he will vouch for the curative properties of Seigel’s Syrup, the article that effected this almost miraculous cure. The following letter is from a chemist, who thought the facts should be made known" James Francis Thomas, of Ponmewynydd, near Pontypool, age 23, collier, was ill for nine years, unable to do any workfor three years, never lay down in bed for nine years, had to" sleep in a stooping posture, was treated by nearly all the doctors for miles around, who generally stated his complaint to be rheumatism and heart disease of a chronic nature, and beyond all power to cure. When hope had nearly died out, he was persuaded to try SeigeVa Syrup; and, to the delight of his relatives! and astonishment of his neighbours, after hiking half a bottle he could lie down in bed. After taking oae bottle he went to work. Has now taken two bottles, and on with the third, gud is quite well and strong. His mother is in raptures, and can talk of nothing else hut this marvellous cure, and wishes me to make it known." 15th August, 1883. Dear Sir,-1 write to tell yon that Mr Henry Hillier, of Yateshury, Wilts, informs me that he suffered from a severe form of indigestion for upwards of four years, and took no end of doctor’s medicine without the slightest benefit, and declares Mother Seigel’s Syrup which he got from me has saved his life. > Tours truly, (Signed) N.
