THE WORLD RUNS AWAY FROM US.

« The other day we had a talk with a man who knew as little of the wot Id aroend him aa a baby. Yet he wa3 a man of naturally fine intelligence. He had just been released from prison. Ten years ago he was inoaroerated under a life sentence. Beoently, however, circumstances had amen which proved his innooenoe, and he obtained his freedom. But nothing seemed aa before. He had bsen stationary while the world moved on. Many of his old friends were dead, and all were changed. A. big slios of bis career was lost, and worsa than lost. Coald he ever make it up ? No, never. Be bids?, although he had never committed an offence, the mere fsob that he bad been convicted of one, vrotfd always place him at- a disadvantage. Different as it is m all outward conditions lor.g illness produces results which reBerables those of enforoed solitude. When oenfined to our home 3by disease we are virtually out cf the world. Friends may, and do, pity us, but thoy do not lie down by cur Eide and Buffer with us. Ah ! no. They go their own ways and leave us alone. In Ihe midst of company we are still alone. Enjoyment, food, sleep, fresh air, movement, work, &o,— ttoee are for them not for us. Alaß ! for the poor prisoner whose jailer is some relentless disease. Who shall open the iron dooro and eefc himitee 11 1 never had any rest or pleasure." So writes a man whose letter we have just finished reading. "In the early put of 1688," he says, "a strange feeling came over me. I felt heavy, drowsy, languid and tired. Something appeared to . ba wrong with me, and I couldn't account for it. I had n foul tsete m the mouth, my appetite failed, sndwbafc I did eat lay on ma like a atone. Soon I became aftaid to cat, as the act was always followed by pain and dig. trofß. Bometimc3 I hai a sensation of choking m the throat as if I could not e wallow. I was swollen, too, around tho body, and got about with difficulty owing to iiioreasing we&kaess. 'At the pitcf my etomach was a hungry, craving sensation, as though I needed support from food ; yet the little I took did not abate this feeling. My sleep v, as broken, and I awoke m ihe morning unrefreshed. For Tour years 1 continued m this wretched Btate before I found relief." Thia letter is Bignad by Mr Charles H. Smith of 19, New City Eoad, Glasgow, and dated February 15th, 1893. Before we heir how he was at last delivered from the slavery of illness, lot ua listen to the words of a lady on tha came theme : Mrs Mary Ann Rualing, of Station Boad, Misterton, nesr Gainaborough, In a brief note <Jated January 3i f d, 1998, Mrs Bualing says she t.ufierod m a cimilar way for over Jlftecn years, Her hands anil feet were cold and clammy, and bho waa pale and bloodless. Bh.o had pain m the left aide and palpitation, and her breathing watt hurried. No medicines availed to help her until two years ago. "At that time," eha says, " our minister, fha lato Ray Mr Watsen, told me of Mother Seigel's Curative jjjyrqp, and urged me to make a trial of it. I did bo, and presently felt great relief. It VBB not long before tbe bad symptoms all left me, snd I gradually got Btrong. I keep m good health, and have pleasure m miking known to others the remedy whioh did so rnujh for mo." Mr Smith wa3 completely cured by the eamo remedy, and nays had he known of it sooner he wou d have been eavod years of mieery. The real ailment m both these oases was icdigeßticn end dyspepsia, wiih its natural oonsequoncee. Throughout the civilipci world its oenree i 3 marked by a hundred forms of pain and Euffeiicg. Men and we men are torn to pieces by it as vessels are by rocks on which they aro driven by tempests. It signifies life transformed into death, bread into pofson. Watch for its earliest Bit;na— especially the feeling of weariness, languor and fatigue, which announce its approach. Prevention i 3 better than oare. But, by tbe use of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, cure is Blwayß possible; and poor copjiveß m tbe .lostheoms dungeons of illness ore daily delivf red as the hand of the good Gciman nuree swings open the doors. 85 Cbcup ia p. tc-tror to youcg mothers.
