WHAT MR INGHAM TOLD MR HEYDEN.

It was a very lucky thing for Mr Hey den that Mr Ingham called to set him just when be did. Bat it would hare been better still if be had done so long before, for Mr Ingham turned out to be the only man able to give any advice worth a rush. Lota of other people hid talked and suggested things, at they do wben they see a house on fire. Bat it is commonly the firemen who put out the blaze after all. And bo Mr Ingham happened to have a bit of useful knowledge that nobody else had. And indeed the cat* wu Tery like a fire, although it wasn't a house, you know ; it waa a man — namely, Mr Hey den him* self. Only the day after Christmas (1891) he told the story in these very wordi. " Fifteen years ago," he said, "in Deoember, 1876, I met with a slight accident, and had great pain in my ankle, which at times I thongnt was sprained. In a few days the pain moved up to my knee, whilst all the snrrounding parts became Bwollen and pnffed up. I could not bear to put my foot on the ground or even let the bed sheet catch the leg. A doctor who attended me for two months said it was rheumatism, and treated me accordingly. When I got a little better he sent me to South port for three weeks. I returned to my work again, but bad great difficulty in getting about, and from time to time I bad to leave work, owing to the intense pain. Later I had excruciating paing in all my limbr, and the joints of my fingers became enlarged and grew out of shape. " Then I consulted another doctor who attended me through several severe attacks. He said my complain, was Chalk Gout. He gate me medicines, bat said he could not do much for me, and that in time the disease would kill me. In this way I continued to suffer for fourteen years. During that period I took every gout and rheumatism medicine I heard of, bat nothing gave me more than temporary relief. "In March, 1890, 1 had a bad attack and was bedfast for over two monthe, when one night a friend of mint, Mr James Ingham, of Old Trafford, called to see me. The paio waa at its height, and seeing my condition, he said ha knew of something that would do me good. He brought me a few doses in a bottle but refused to say what it was. It gave me bo much relief that I sent my wife to ask him. He replied, ' I mill come and tell him all about it.' He soon came and said it was called Mother Beigel's Curative Byrnp. Upon this I told him I had often heard of it, but regarded it as a quack medicine. I sent at once to Bnrgon'a Btores in Oxford street and got a bottle, and after using it twenty-four boors felt much better. In a few days I was out of bed and at work, and have never lost a day's work since, nor had any attack of my old enemy. I will gladly answer all enquiries." (Signed) Hbnby B. Heyden, 28, Booth street, Oxford road, Manchester. Now this statement of Mr Heydea'a ia surprising. The reader wants to know how it can b« true, and he has a right to ask. The explanation is this : — Mr Heyden was afflicted with rhewnatio goiit, an almost universal complaint, very painful and dangerous. Tbe cause is a poison in the blood produced ac follows :— First the stomach becomes inactive and torpid with indisgeation and dyspepsia ; more work ia thus thrown on the liver than it ia able to do ; the overloaded liver fails in the manufacttue of urea, leaving it in the blood in the form of a solid called uric acid. This acid, a deadly poison, unites chemically with the soda (an alkali) in the blood, forming urate of sodium, a haid crystal poison. This poison goes round in the blood current until it is finally deposited in the mmclee and joints, getting them, on fire with inflammation and inflicting fearful agony. Continued, the disease causjs chalk atones in the bladder, Bright's disease of the kidneys, and disease of the heart and lungs. All comes from the Eame source, indigestion aod dyspepsia, and are properly symptoms of that ailment. What a pity people don't underetand this fact better. Mother Seigel's Byrup cures by its wocderful action on the stomach and liver, and thus it cuied the case above described. It begins at the right end. Perhaps it would be wiße in yon to paste this account in your scrap book, or whe^e you cao find it in time of need.
