1 what he thought of my condition, and he frankly said, “ I am sorry to have to tell you that you are getting worse! ” This so frightened my friends, as well as myself, that they said “ Thomas, you must go to the Hospital ; it may he your only chance of life ! ” But I'didn’t want to go to the hospital. Who does, when he thinks he can possibly get along without doing it ? lam a labouring man, with a large family depending on me for support, and I might almost as well be in my grave as be laid on my back in a hospital unable to lift a hand for months, or God only knows bow long. Right at this point I had a thought flash across my mind like a streak of sunshine in a cloudy day, I had read and heard a good deal about Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup, and I resolved, before consenting to be taken to the hospital, 1 would try that well-known remedy. On this I gave up the doctor’s medicine and began taking the Syrup. Mark the wonderful result! I had taken three doses within twenty four hours when I was seized with a fit of coughing, and threw up the phlegm and mucus off my chest by the mouthful. The syrup had loosened and broken it up. Continuing with the Syrup, the racking pain, which I believe came from the poison humours in my blood and joints, soon left me entirely, and I felt like going to sleep, and I did sleep sound and quiet. Then I felt hungry, with a natural appetite, and as I ate I soon got strong and well. Ifelt I could leap through the air with delight. In a week I was able to go to my work again. It doesn’t seem possible, vet it is true, and the neighbours know it. There is plenty of witnesses to prove it. And, therefore, when I say I preach the good news of the great power of Seigel’s Syrup to cure pain and disease far and wide nobody will wonder at 3ue.

HOW PILLS ARB MADE

The custom of taking medicine in the orm of pills dates far back in history. The object is to enable us to swallow easily in a condensed form disagreeable and nauseous, but very useful, drugs. To what very vast dimensions pill-taking has grown may be imagined when we say that in England alone about 2,000,000,000 (two thousand million) pills are consumed every year. In early days pills were made slowly by hand, as the demand w»s comparatively small. To-day they are produced with infinitely greater rapidity by machines especially contrived for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various ingredients employed. No form of medication can be better than a pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. But right here occurs the difficulty. Easy as it may seem to make a pill, or a million of them, there are really very few pills that can be honestly commended for popular use. Most of them either undershoot or overshoot the mark. As everybody takes pills of some kind, it may be well to mention what a good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when one feels dull and sleepy, and has more or less pain in the head, sides, and back, he may be sure his bowels are constipated, and his liver sluggish. To remedy this unhappy state of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will act like a charm by stimulating the liver into doing its duty, and ridding the digestive organs of the accumulated noisonous matter.

But the good pill does not gripe and pain us, neither does it make us sick and miserable for a few hours or a whole day. It acts on the entire glandular system at the same time, else the after-effects of the pill will be worse than the disease itself. The griping caused by such pills is the result of irritating drugs which they contain. Such pills are harmful and should never be used. They sometimes produce hemorrhoids. Without having any particular desire to praise one pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name Mother Seigel’s Pills, manufactured by the well known nouse of A. J. White, Limited, 36 Farringdon Road, London, and now sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, as the only one we know of that actually possesses every desirable quality. They remove the pressure upon the brain, correct the liver, and cause the bowels to act with ease and regularity. They never gripe or produce the slightest sickness of the stomach, or any other unpleasant feeling or symtom. Neither do they induce further constipation, as nearly all other pills do. As a further and crowning merit, Mother SeigeTs Pills are covered with a tasteless and harmless coating, which causes them to resemble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate as they are effective in curing disease. If you have a severe cold and are threatened with a fever, with pains in the head, back, and limbs, one or two doses will break up the cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue, with a brackish taste in the mouth is caused by foul matter in the stomach. A dose of Seigel’s Pills will effect a speedy cure. Oftentimes partially decayed food in the stomach and bowels produces sickness, nausea, etc. Cleanse the bowels with a dose of these pills and good health will follow. Unlike many kinds of pills, they do not make you feel worse before you are better. They are, without doubt, the best family physic ever discovered. They remove all obstructions to the natural functions in either sex without any unpleasant effects.
