Nothing is easier than to recommend a man to go to Australia. A dozen words or so out of your mouth and you have done it. But for him to act on your advice — that is a grey horse of another colour. You see, Australia is half-way round the world ; and to pull up stakes here and go there— family, interests, and all—is a job no man takes m hand save for the strongest sort of reasons. Yet thai is what Mr Emrys Mergan Price, grocer and tea merchant of Trehafod Road, Hafod, S. Wales, was advised by a doctor at Merthyr. Now, we don't say but that the result, if Mr Price had gone, would have proved thedoetor's judgment to be sound ; but as it happened Mr Price came out all right m the end by just staying at home. The facts are briefly these : In August, 1881, the customary choral competition took place at Abergavenny, and Mr Price attended. In some way — he fails to state how, and it doesn't matter— he took cold and had a chill. When he arrived home at Dowlais he could scarcely breathe. To draw his lungs full of air was quite impossible. In fact, he feJt as if he was suffocating. Of course, there was no more thought of singing; the question was one of getting breath enough to live on. He at once tried that good oldfashioned remedy, mustard plasters, putting them on his chest and perhaps on his back between the shoulder blades. They relieved him for the time, as we might expect. But mustard plasters do one thing — no more. They draw some blood from the inflamed parts to the surface; that's all. When they have set up a bit of mild counter-irritation they are done ; they don't get down to deep causes. And there was a deep cause. We will point it out presently. There was a constant whistling noise m his throat, he says. You hear it m! children when they have croup. It means that the air passages are contracted and the breath has to pass violently through a small orifice. Disease has often strangled people to death m that way. " Next," he says, a " violent cough set m. I coughed and spat up thick phlegm night and day." This meant more and worse inflammation, and shows us the spectacle of Nature trying to get rid of the product — the phlegm or mucus. But to cough night and day! Think of it. What becomes of a man's appetite and sleep? You can imagine. No wonder the doctor at Merthyr was anxious and suggested a change of climate. Still, Mr Price, as we have said, remained at home and consulted other physicians, one at Dowlais and one at Hafod. All the doctors agreed that their patient was suffering from acute bronchitis, and very properly treated him for that. Yet somehow their medicines failed to effect any real and radical good. That they were temporarily helpful we may not doubt. But, you see, bronchitis, once seated, is an obstinate and progressive ailment. It has a tendency to take up new ground and to get down on the lungs, the reason being that the lining of the air passages and of the lungs is all one thing. So an affection of any part of it, if not cured, spreads like fire m dry grass. " As time went on," says Mr Price, ■*' I got weaker and weaker and my breathing became distressing to hear. All my friends thought I was m a consumption, and as a sister of mine had died of that complaint, I naturally felt alarmed. In-. dee 4, one night m July, 1885, I. was so bad that my wife thought I was dying. Happily the lady was mistaken, yet death sometimes comes with fearful suddenness m that complaint, and her fear was very reasonable. At that time, please remember, our good friend had suffered about four years, and was m a state of low vitality. The whole body was feeble and exhausted, and there would have been nothing surprising m a fatal termination. But a better result was m store, aR we shall now see. Mr Price's letter, dated August 16th, 1893, concludes m these words: ♦' Better and worse I continued m the power of this malady year after year, and had given up all hopes of ever getting better. In February, 1887, after having endured it 5£ years 1 read of a person at Pontypool having been cured of the same thing by Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. I got a supply of it, and m a few days I felt relief. 1 kept on with it and gradually improved. In six months the cough had left me and I icas a well man. Since then 1 have been sound as a bell. If you like you may publish my statement and (I will gladly answer any inquiries. Signed) Emrys Morgan Price." Good ! That is pleasant and cheering fco hear. One word— an important word. Bronchitis, pneumonia, rheumatism, ?out, nervous disorders, liver complaint, kidney trouble, and most of our familiar liseases are caused by poison m ■ the t>lood ; and the poison is produced by 3tomach fermentation, indigestion, ana Jyspepsia. Consumption itself comes m she same way. Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup drives out the poison and stops ;he manufacture of more. That's why it Mred Mr Price and will cure anybody.
