TWO MEN WRONG MAN RIGHT.

" You will be ii kingdom-come, in lew than twelve months !''

You ain't tire three years " You are not (join<j to die J" These three prophecies were addressed to the same man. The last one had the most comfort in it, yet he couldn't tell which had the most inspiration. Here's the story. It isn't pleasant reading at lirst, but it "comes out" all right, as the children say. Perhaps it's better to let our friend tell it himself. We all like the pronoun " I," that's why an autobiography is never dull This relator is a butcher ot Auckland, N.Z., ami his style is so clear and good, it needs no editing. lie says: " Some five years ago, when lifting a quarter of beef, I noticed a remarkable soreness in the small of my hack. 1 called i doctor, gave up business, and took to my bed. lie proscribed a, lotion to be rubbed in around tiie region of the kidneys. his was done, and i remained in lied several days, suffering excruciating agony. At last, having examined the kidney secretions, the doctor said, ' You have Blight's disease, and will be in kingdom-conn; in less than twelve months.'

*' Never believing I had Blight's disease, 1 thought, however, it would lie as well to insure my life. On examination, the company's physician refused to pass me for life insurance, saying, 'You can't live three years.' • > " About three months afterwards I was again seized with a severe, attack, and went about more dead titan alive. Finally I broke down and again took to my bed. as was .supposed, for the last time. I sold one of my businesses so as licit to leave too many affair:; for my wife to supervise, made my will, and explained to my wife what to do in ease of my death. 1 can well remember her listening with tears.in her eyes to what she believed were my last instructions. I then lingered for some weeks, waiting for death to free me from my sufferings—taking whatever medicines were prescribed, but deriving little or no relief. "One evening a friend called, and we talked over my case and the very serious turn it hail taken. Presently he said, ' You are not going to die. Have you triedScigel's Syrup yet?' " I confessed that 1 had hot. In fact, 1 had religiously followed the instructions of my medical advisers. My friend persuaded me to try Seigel's Syrup, and I began at once, taking twenty-drop doses according to the directions. In about a week I felt a little more life in me, and after having finished the second bottle I was convinced that improvement had fairly set in. I continued taking the Syrup until I had consumed ten bottles, then went downstairs to work again, still using the Syrup. After having taken from eighteen to twenty bottles altogether, I found myself entirely well. It is now four years since I took my last dose of Mother Seigel's Syrup for Blight's disease of the kidneys, and I have suffered no symptoms of kidney complaint since. " (Signed) RoitKitT JluTCHixsox, Butcher, Wellington-street, Auckland, New Zealand." We print Mr. Hutchinson's statement as he wrote it, yet it is not probable that his malady was actually Blight's disease, as that is a degeneration or destruction of the substance of the kidneys, ami difficult, if not impossible, to cure. What he really suffered from was, no doubt, a debilitated state of the system, originating in indigestion and dyspepsia, with severe kidney symptoms, as is often the case. When we remember that nearly all maladies, including rheumatism, gout, consumption, liver complaint, heart disease, etc., are due to poisons in the blood, arising from fermented food in the digestive tract, we can see why Mother Seigel's Syrup is victorious over so great a variety of apparently diverse diseases. And because of the one source of these complaints, serious and often fatal mistakes are made in the diagnosis . and in the treatment. _ The point to emphasise is this : Heart disease, consumption, and Bright's disease are much rarer than they are supposed to be. Generally what seems like them is a group of symptoms of indigestion and dyspepsia. It is always best to take the advice of Mr. Hutchinson's friend when he said, "You are not going to die ; try Seigel's Syrup."
