Yet in all that crowd there was but one man who knew why the blood spurted from tho dis severed arteries in the Monarch's neck. That was Dr Harvey, the King's physician He had announced the circulation of the blood, and in so doingstaited a tremendous scandal. People called him a fool, a meddler, a madman.

" The most pathotic incident of my childhood is this : My mother had been very ill for several weeks, and the doctor solemnly announced that she could not live more tlwn Iwo or three days longer at most. That night my father roused me from sleep aud took me out of my little bed to hid her a last good-bye. I shall never forget tho scone, which was now and awful to inc. People wpre weeping all round the room, tho air of which was heavy with the odour of candles and lamps, and recking with tho fumes of drugs. My mother know and kissed mo, aud then they took me back to my bod. But tre I was led away some one opened tho window a few inches from the top, and I noticed the grey dawn resting on the glass, and heard the ' cheep, cheep, ' of a newly wakened bird Since tben I have associated that hour iind sound with that unhappy episode. "But (and to say what now follows have written the foregoing paragraph) — we were all rasped and tortured for nothing My mother proceeded to get well hind over hand, and died quietly thirty years afterwards. She survived every person who stood at her bedside that night except me. " Speaking cf the illness of her sod,, a boy of nine, a lady says ; "We had to sit with him night and day, giving him brandy, wine, beef tea, etc., to keep him alive, and expected every day would be his last. The physician plainly told us that nothing more could be done to save him. " 1 Yet in spite of the disease, and— \ye al--1 most said— in spite of the doctors, the lad is well to-day. And this is how it all came ■ about. There is a moral in it, tool but ' suppose we serve that up at the end of the, ) story. All right, you say. Very well, then. > I It seems that this boy, George West- ) morelarid, had previpusly been a strong, i healthy little chap, as ii.il ooys ought to be, t but about the mi'ldle of last Novcmbeiv ' 1891, that is-he was taken down. The f family couldn't make out what ailed him. I He complained of a bad pain in the stomach, ' and vomited a quantity of yellowish green stuff. Presently tho pain was so sharp ho II couldn't lie in bed, and they had, so his c mother says, to apply fresh hot poultices 6 one after another. The whites of his eyes n turned yellow, and his skin too. He was t hot, and feverish, and had to fight for his c breath. it Of course his mother sent for a doctor c and the doctor said his young patient was ,c suffering from inflammation of the bowels. )f Qe gave medicines which, however, did no good, so far as the boy's friends could see. !„ On tho contrary, ho grew worse, and n I second doctor was fetched. This medical (gentleman differed from his predecessor, and gave out that George had an attack ol rheumatio fever— in other words, acute rheumatism— a disease which no b?y has any business with whatever. The treatment on this theory avaiW nothing ; George was worse. He now hat a hacking cough, and his expectoration was so offensive that the people had to use dis infectauts. Ho broke out into sweats, s< heavy as to saturate the pillows. He couli take no nourishment save a little milk an< lime water. He wore away to a skeleton did the poor boy. He was nothing bu skin and bone, and they had to lift him ii and out of bed. Then he fell so ill h would not notice any one iv the room, am lay for hours never opening his eyes. Thoi came the time when a third doctor said h couldn't possibly live. What happened after that the boy' mother, to'ls. We give you her oxai words: "In February last," she saj " my husband, as a last resource, dctei mined to try Mother Scigcl's Curath Syrup. After a few doses the boy's breatl ing was easier and he took food. In tint clays he was able to sit up, and in a week I time he was up and dressed. He gainc lesh and strength every day, and is no able to go about. Sometimes I look at hii and can hardly believe he is the same b( who was so recently at death's doo Seigcl's Syrup saved bis life. Yours trul (Signed) Mrs Mary Westmoreland, 5, Hi^ Street, Plmnstead, London, April 27, 1892. Now, a half adbzen words.Little G.eori had no bowel inflammation, nor a sing touch of rheumatism. That was tl doctors' professional guesswork. He had sharp attick of biliousness and indiyestio of which Mother Seigol would have cur him long before had her medicine be appealed to.
