111? COULD LISAP THROUGH THE AIR. My obj ct in writing is two-C-U : to express inly gratitu lp for a giva' benefit, and to ! tella s liort story which cannot fail io interest tli- f eel-. rigs cf miny ethers. It is all aiont myself, but ] ha -e remarked ihut when a man t.lb I lie ho eß fc rut'i -.,b > it, liimsef h» is all the m rj li!i(.ly to he ot" use 10 his I'cliowomitures.

It. would not yield to ni'dicme, anil as I al o; he.-ari to have violent racking puns iri i'i.v limbs and baek, [ became t'reatlv alar.ne'. I could neithe- .at n itsleep. If I had been a feeble, sieklv man, I should have tliousrhr. i-ss strangely of it; buns <>n the contraryi 1 w »3 hearty and ro'mst.. I f a 'ed some new a id terr b'e i hing ha I got hold of mo, which might, make my strength of no avail against it. I siy, thtt was the wai I thought. Presently I could not even li down for the pain all over my body. 1 asle my doctor what he thought of my oondi'.ion, and he t'riiu'dy sai i, " I ant 8 >rr/ to have to tell you tint you are getting worse!'' I his so frightened in* friends, as well as my-elf, that they *aid ; Thomas, yo'i must go to the Hospital; it mail-be your only chance for Ufel" ■.. ; ,/■; i3ut I didn't want to go to the hospital. Who doos, when he thin.s he can possibly set a'ong Without doin» it ? lam a laboring man, with a large family .depending on m. for support, and I aught almost as well be in my grave as to be Lii I on my buck in a hospital unable to lift a hand, lor months, or Hod only'knows how long. Right at this point 1 had a thought H ish across my urn t like a streak 0.l sups due in a clou.l.y day. t la 1 lizard wild rend a goo i deal about Mother Seigel's Curativ •Sirup, and I resolved, before consenting to be taken to the hospi al, I would try that well known remedy. On this [ g'ixe ui> the doctor'* rn-.-dteine an I began t king (ho Syrup. Mark the wonderful result! I bad taken but tmee .ioses within twenty-four hours whan I was seized with :> fit of couching, and thre v up the phleam and m 'cus chesr. by the mouthful. The s-rupjiad loosened and broken it. up.

I felt I could leap through the a'r with delight!

In a week I was able to go io my work again. Tt do sn't seem pos-in'o. y. t ir. is «.-iie, and the ncizhborn know it, ; there arc plenty of witness's to prove it.
