One physician af'er another was called upon to treat L emoplaint, hut with no hem-fit. fo r the poor fellow continued to grow wor»e ami worse. Hoping to find some means of relief, a consultation of -ioetors was held, when it was decided that an organic di.-i n«o of the heart e\i t«l in an iurumhle form, and that medical aid could not afford relief, lie was gi\on up to die. These years of >-.|>«i!si\e medical treatment Imd exhausted the little savings of the m >t her. and they had no money to buy
even the tiece -varies of life. There wa? one spark of hope left. Someone had told her of a remedy that had cured so many cases even when ns hopeh -s as this one seenu-d to he—and tin- mother's love went out for her ih ar boy. Hut how to get the medicine w .11 the question. Their money was e ntirel gone. The.- boy had a in w pair of trousers that he had been too ill to wear, and the mother n-m md w ithin herself. “If the loy is to die he «ill not need them, so I may as well pledge them for medicine with ■it. elh-rt to savi his lite.” Strange as it i. iy appear, the Imtile-s of medicine procured ut the chemist's shop in Pont} pool with the money obtained from the pawnbroker e ffected a cure in this htipe-le-ss case*, which hael been pronounced as incurable. Hut it is i nly just to any that if the chemist had known of the wants of the family, the ii tdicine could have been obtained v :'l i o', a visit to the pnwiibn-ki r. It i- now in-arly two years since this took place, and young .lames Francis Thciuas has Ix-e-n working in the coalpit uuder-grounel ever since, earning i xtra pay for overwork, which he is aide to perform. Of course he never had organic disease of the lieart, as su|; isi-d. The palpitation, rheunintism. and asthma w "re more symptoms i-i the real disease, which was dyspi I in. or indigestion, for which the no.idy was specially adapted.
