WHY HE DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

HE COULD LEAR THROUGH THE AIR^IS i , . '■ ■ ■ . ■■;>.'. ?■;££ My object in writing is twofold : to express 7 JRfW gratitude for a great benefit,' uml to tell alshor£j| stoi'y which cannot fail to interest the feelings ofjs|| many others. If is all abouwnyself, but I'hajfp remarked that when a man U-ils t'na honest ''tru.tK;^ about himself he is all the more likely tobe^of^ use to his fellow-creatures. To begin, then,' yojifg must know I had long baen more or less subjectxto^ attacks of bronchitis, a complaint that-, you aVel|| aware, is very common and troublesome in GsHoi% Britain in certain seasons of the year.. .Softie^ months ago I had a very severe turn of it, -worse,® I think, than I ever had before. It was,probab^y^| brought on by my catching cold, as we arVaft>|| apt to do when we least expect it. Weekspasse|t|i:| by, and my trouble proved to be very obstinatfe|J| It would not yield to medicine, and as I ais|C>|| began to have violent racking pains inmylimbs^] and back, I became greatly alarmed. I conlcl^ neither eat nor sleep. If I had been a fee;b|e£|f sickly man, I should have thought less strangely!^ of it ; but as, on the contrary, I was heart.y,ajpi|^ robust, I feared some new and terrible thiegha^l got hold of me, which might make my str^ngthf^ffl no avail against it. I say, that was the wsyiEpi thought. . ' , -^<80l Presently I could not even lie down f6£tfee|| pain all over my body. I asked my doctor WJ3a§g§ he thought of my condition, and lie frankly sai^fe. ' I am sorry to have to tell you that you are-gej||ll ting worse!' This co frightened my friends, fj^M well as myself, that they said, ' iVwmas/%ty^o must go to the Hospital ; it -may he yojwjp)ity£% chance for life ." ' " liat I didn't want to go to the Hospital. . '^y,hajj| does, when he thinks he can possibly getaio^n^ without doing it ? lam a labouring man, witlKa||| large family depending on me*for support,; aß|(|^ might almost as- well be in my grave as to Wi£jji|| on my back in a hospital unabls to lift a ;h.aisl| for months, or God only knows how,' iong||| Right at this point I had a thought flash aclfos|l| my mind like a streak of sunshine on a cl6.ad^P day. I had heard and read a good deal : 'a^ff||| Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and^ resqljfe^S before consenting to be taken to the HospitSj!||| would try that well-known remedy. On . tbi3[s]§|| gave up the doctor's medicine , arid began ial&|gp the Syrup. Mark the wonderful result l,;--;i^|||| taken but three doses within twenty-four h'ojs|||| ' when I was seized with a fit of coughingji/andS threw up the phlegm and mucus off my chest^Bj^ tho mouthful. The Syrup had loosened! lan<j||| broken it up. Continuing with the Syrup,)§S||il| racking pain, which I believe CEme from|lt^^ bitter and poison humours in my blopd,4fiji^S joints, soon left mo entirely, '■■• and I M £elt-..-fl^^g going to sleep, and I, did sleep, sound arid/ q|jeil|l Then I felt hungry, with a natural 'appetitej : %^^J as I ate I soon got strong and well.'. ; U"' ,; .%I^B I felt I could leap through, the air- Kith' d.eT,iyMj^m In a week I was able to go to my wbtk'a^^^ra It doesn't Beem possible,- yet it is true,';an'do|^^ neighbours know it.
