MY WATC AND OTHER WATCHE.

One evening last summer I had tome writiDg to do at nn home. Th e wcatler was v ry hot, and I tnnfc off mv coat and , waistcoat My new gold watch (that I hud paid £30 for) I laid before me on the i tab'e, where I could keep an eye m it . Sd far so good. I wrote on, and papers accumulated on the table, one of them • covering my watch. Reaching f>ut for BGmet ing [ wanted, my arm a.cidentally i swoi tit to the fluor Oh heavens, what ! luck ! I picko I t up-te dorly as one s picks up a child win had hud a bad tumble. [ Was it still running? Yes. faintly ; but aa ■ I put it to my ear it ticked a few tin. es. • feebly and slouty, and then slopped — a , dead watch A minute ago it was a vita] th ng- now mere'y a lot o( motion ese , wheels in a earni What was broken ? I cou'dutsay. The watchmaker niiibt repair it anil retur. it, with his bi !. So much for my stupid curolest-ness. Yet nobody is so » oor as not to cany a more va uable watch than that ;on that vill run many yenrf. without winding. , But when it • tops ah ! then, w. o is able to Fet i' going -again ? Sp akingpbouttheono he owns, Mr Geo. W. Burton, of Kiilon Holme, Bision, «aya " Sl> heart fluttered in a way to alarm me. it was so bad Ifuncud 1 couli ' ejri 8 op I eating." \Vlm« ailed Mr Burton s he rt ? Per- , h»|)B liif. letter «iil help us to find cut He says : I Octoher, 1887, In began to feel , wear} und languid. I had a tmd taste ju the mouth, and in tli'i uiorniog my leetn gums were covered with a and thick bloody siiiK. My appetite failed and after, ating I h rl great i uin in tho chest and momac!). ■ A'\ 'he lime I had a c uvi a lor fond, but diir jnot take solids It sieined sometimes , tl» • t my lieati would l> irst with pum, and I whm Houizzy I could liunily bee. After , awi ile a cough st't in, and I npat op great , quuniiticH of "phlegm. Later on uiy ' br«.tttliinjj becHUio vtry bud, and I would i breuk into v coll sweat I kept on growing weaker until it was a I 1 could do to get about, and in this condition I continued for four yet»rs. Duiiug this time I con- , sultou duclora and used all the different , medicines 1 heard of, but none of them did an\ tioori ' Now, let s think a minute. Mr Burton daVH nishemt fluttered und nnlptuted. ha liad 8 hacking cough, and difficulty in bteathinj;— three fright nl tilings A man might die of any one of them, as we all know. Yet he recovered from al of th«m —and all at the sam* lime Hesmw: — "In February, 1891, 1 hear! of what ( Mother eigel s Curative Syrup had done in similar cases, and I determined to try it, unu got a bottle from Mei-sra. Grimble and Kent, chemists, B ston. The first few , di'Bfßgaxe relief, and by continuing to i use it in a Rh<<rt time I was perfectly , cured I uiake this statement in order that others m»y know whero to look for a remedy in a illness like ti:ine ' (Signed) • Geo. W Burloi." We reji.ice at his restoration to health, 1 but what, after all, ailed him ? Did lie have three dUeasos— viz , he rt complaint, cnsiiniption, aad RBthmu ? And if bo, tiow on earth cnuld Molhur Cumtivu *-\ rup , have cured them— each uffecting Hiftcrunt ; or^anb ? The auswer is. he had but i.ne di-eahe, it.Higeetion and dyepi^^'a, o£ • wlrth the feeblo heart, the irritated thro t, 1 "no the burdened lunus were tell l»\"» and symptoms.
