WHY HE DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

HE COULD LEAP THROUGH THE AIR. My object in writing is twofold : to ex. press my gratitude for a great benefit, and to tell a short story whioh cannot fail to interest the feelings of many others; It is all about myself, but I have remarked that when a man tells the honest truth about himself he is all the more likely to be of use to his fellow creatures. To begin, then, you must know I had been long more or less subject to attacks of bronchitis, a complaint that you are aware is very common and troublesome in Great Britain in certain seasons of the year. Some months ago I had a very severe turn of it, worse, I think, than I ever had before. It was probably brought on by my catching cold, as we are all apt to do when we least expect it. Weeks passed by and my trouble proved to be very obstinate. It , would not yield to medicine, and as I also : began to have violent racking pains in my . limbs and back I became greatly alarmed, i I could neither eat nor sleep. If I had been | a feeble, sickly man, I should have thought ; less strangely of it; but as, on the contrary I I was hearty and robust, I feared some new I and terrible thing had got bold of me, whioh ; might make my strength of no avail against |it. I say, that was the way I thought. i Presently I could not even lie down for the pain all over my body, I asked my doctor what he thought of my condition, and he frankly said, " I am sorry to have to tell you that you are getting worse 1" This so frightened my friends, as well as my»elf, that they said “ ThOMA.O, YOU MUST GO TO thb Hospital ! it may be your only Ohanob fob Life!" But I didn’t want to go to the hospital. Who does, when he thinks he can possibly jget. along without it ? lam a laboring man. with a large family depending on me for support, and I might a’most as well be in jmy '•rave as to be laid on my; back in a hospital, unable to lift a hand for months, or 'God only knows how long. Right at this 'point I had a thought flash across my mind like a streak of sunshine in a cloudy day. I had heard and read a good deal about 'Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup, and I re* solved, before consenting’to be taken to the hospital, I 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 I had taken but three doses within twenty-four hours When I was seized with a fit of boughing, and threw up the phlegm and mucous off my chest by the mouthful, The Syrup had loosened and broken it up. Continuing with the Syrup, the racking pain, Whioh I believe came from the bitter and poison humors in my blood and oints, 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 cs 1 ate I soon got strong and well. " I pelt 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, yet it is true, and the neighbors know it. There are 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 aind disease far and wide, nobody will wonder at me.
