PAWNING A PAIR OF TfiOUSERS FOR MEDICINE. TAMES FE ANCIS THOMAS lives in Pontnewynydd, near Pontypool, Monmouthshire. He is now tweuty-three years of age, living with his mother a widow. Some eleven year* ago, then a mere boy, he went to work in the coal-pit as a miner, in order to assifjt his nioth«r in roaring her family of little children. Soon, however, tho little fellow broke down in health j but the necessities of the family seemed to require it, and he continued to toil in the mines, suffering all the time from the effects of indigestion, an agonising symptom being asthma, in such a troublesome form that the boy was unable to lie in bed. Working through the day and resting as best he could in an nrm-chair during the night, natnrally undermined his constitution. Year by year his health grew worse and wors.;, until at last rheumatism came with nil its dreadful a<jony. One joint after another became swollen and inflamed, so that he was obliged to stop work. In this said plight the now young man whs confined to the house for two lontf years, suffering all that mortal conld endure. Ono physician after another was called upon to treat his complaint, hut with no benefit, for the poor fellow continued to grow worse and worse. Hoping to find some menus of relief, _a consultation of doctors wns held, when it was decided that an organic disease of the heart existed in an incurable form, and that medical aid conld not afford relief. He was given up to die. These years of expensive medicnl treatment had exhausted the little savings of the mother, and they had no money to buy even the necessaries of life. But a fond mother never gives up in despair. There was one spark of nope left. Someone had told her of a remedy thvt had cured so many cases— even when as hopeless as this one seemed to be — and the mother's love went out for her dear boy. But how to get the medicine was the question. I Their money was entirely gone. The boy had a ! new pair of trousers that he had been too ill to wear, and the mother reasoned within herself, "If tho boy is to die he will not need them, so I may as well pledge them for medicine with on effort to save his life." Strange as it may appear, the bottles of medicine procured at the chemist's shop in Pontjpool with the money obtained from the pawnbroker effected n cure in this hopeless case, which hud been pronounced as incurable. Bu'. it is only just to say that if the chemist hnd known of the wants of the family the medicine could have been obt dncd without a visit to the pawnbroker. It is now nearly two years since this took place, and young James Francis Thomas has been working in the coal-pit underground ever since, earning extra pay for over-work, which he is able to perform. Of course, he never had organic diseaße of the heart, as wan supposed. The palpitation, rheumatism, and asthma wore mere symptoms of ' the real disease, which was dyspepsia, or indigestion, for which the remedy was specially adapted. Those who wish to communicate with this young man can do so at the above address, and ha will vouch for the curative properties of Seigel'» Syrup, th» article that effected this most miraculous cure. Tho following letter is from a chemist, who thought the facts should be made known ;— " James Francis Thomas, of Poutnewynydd, neir Eontypool, age twenty-three, collier, was ill for nine years, unable to do any work for three years, never lay down in bed for nine years, had to sleep in a stooping posture, was treated by nearly all tho doctors for miles around, who generally stated his complaint to be rheumatism and heart disease of a chronic nature, and beyond all power to cure. When hope had nearly died out, he was persuaded to try Seigel's Syrup ; and to the delight of his relatives and astonishment of his neighbours, after taking half a bottle he could lie down in bed. After taking ono bottle he went to work. Has now taken two bottles, and on with the third, and is quite wolland strong. His mother is in raptures, and can talk of nothing else but this marvellous cure, and wishes me to make it known." 15th August, ISB3. Dew Sir,— l write to tell you that Mr Henry Hillier, of Yatesbury, Wilts, informs me that he suffered from a severe form of indigestion for upwards of four years, and took no end of doctor's medicine without the slightest benefit, and declares Mother Seigel's Syrup, which he had got from me, has saved his life.

' " For seven years," writes Mr Horace Bent, of the Federal Minstrels, "I have suffered from an acute neuralgia affection of the right knee and rheumatic gout, which became so severe during our season at the ' Gaiety ' in September, '83. that I was obliged to relinquish the active duties of my frofession and keep my room for a couple of days, had tried several strong liniments at various times, some of which gave me partial relief. In the course of my lecture and sketches I had frequently mentioned, jocularly, St Jacobs Oil, but it never occurred to me to apply it to vty own ailments until a friend, who happened to be in my room whilst I was complaining of inteuse pain, reminded me of its claims, and sent out for a bottle right away. I used a little of it immediately, and found instant relief, repeating the application again later on in tho evening. From that night I have never felt either the neuralgic affection of the knee or the rheumatic gout return, and I would have sent you this acknowledgment earlier, but I thought it best to thoroughly establish the permanence of the effect, and have to subscribe myself a firm believer in the virtues of St Jacobs oil."
