PAWNING A PAIR OF TROUSERS FOE MEDICINE. JAMES FRANCIS THOMAS Eves in Pontnewynydd, near Pontypool, Monmouthshire. He is now twenty-three years of age, living with his mother, a widow. Some eleven years ago, then a mere hoy, he went to work in»;the coal-pit as a miner, in order to assist his mother in rearing her family of little children. Soon, however, the little fellow broke down in health ; hut the necessities of the family seemed to require it, 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 as beat be could in an arm-cnair during the night, naturally undermined his constitution. Year by year his health grew worse and worse, until at last rheumatism came with all its dreadful agony. One joint after another became swollen and inflamed, so tbat he was obliged to stop work. In this sad plight, the now young man was confined to the house for two long years, suffering all that mortal could endure. One physician after another was called-upon to treat his complaint, but 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 given 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 *llfe. 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 to he —and the mother’s love went out for her dear hoy. But how to get the medicine was the question. Their money was entirely gone. The boy had a new pair of trousers that he had been too ill to wear, and the mother reasoned within herself, “If the hoy is to die he will not ueed them, so I may as well pledge them for medicine with an effort to save his life.*’ Strange as it may appear, the bottles of medicine procured at the chemist s shop in Pontypool with the money obtained from the pawnbroker effected a cure in this hopeless cose, 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. Those 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 from a chemist, who thought the facts should be made known James Francis Thomas, of Poutuewynydd, near Pontypool, age 23, collier, was ill' for nine years, unable to do any work for 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 gene, rally stated his complaint to he rheimmtism and heart disease of a chronic nature, and_ beyond all power to cure. When hope had nearly died out, he was persuaded to try Seigel’s Syrup and, to the delight of his relatives and' astonishment of his neighbours, after taking half a bottle he could he down in bed. After, taking one bottle he went to work. Has now taken two bottles, and on with the third, dud is quite well and strong. His mother is m Raptures, and can talk of nothing else but this
