PAWNING A. PAIR OF TIIOI7BIIIIII YOB MEDICINE.—James
Francis Thomas lives at Pontnewynydd. near Pontypool,
Monmouthshire. He is now twenty-three years of age,
living with his mother, a widow. Some eleven years ago
then a mere boy, he went to work in a coal-pi as a miner.
in o der to assist his mot`rer in rearing her family of lotus
children. Soon, however, the little fellow broke down in
health; but the necessities of the family seemed to require,
it, and he continued to toil in the mines, suffering all the
tim r from the effects of indiges ion, an agonising symptom
being asthma, in such a troublesome form that tne ooy was
unable to lie in bed. Working through the day, an d rest-
ing as best ire could in an arm chair during the night,
naturally undermined his constitution. Year by year. by
his health grew worse and worse, until at last rheumatism
came with all its dreadful agony. One joint after another
became swollen and infi ,med, so that he was obliged to stop
work. In this sad plight the now young man was t nfined
to the house for two long y are, suffering all that mortal I
could endure. One physican after another was called upon
to treat his complaint, but with no oenefit, for the poor I
fellow continued to grew worse and worse. kloping to find I
some means of relief, a consultation of doctors was held I
when it was decided that an to...ionic disease of the heart,
existed in an in, urable form, and that medical aid c nal
not afford relief. He was given up to die. These years of
expensive medical treatment had exuausted the little
savings of the mother, and they had no money to bay aver
the necessaries of life. But a fond mother never gives un
in despiir. There was one spark of hope left. Someone
had told her of a remedy that ha, cured so many cases—
even when as hopeless as this one seemed to be—and the
mother's 10 'e went out for her dear boy. But how to get
the medicine wis the question. Their money was entire y
gone. The boy bade new pair of trousers rhat he had been
to ill to wear, and the mother reasoned within herself, 'lf
the boy is to die he wilt not need them, so .i may as well
pledge them for medi ins with an court to save h‘s life."
Strange as it may appear, the bottles of me dome procured
at the chemist's shop in Pontypool with the money obtained
at the pawnbroker's effer.ted a cure in this hopeless case,
wh.ch had been prono.inced as incurubte, nut it is only to
say that if the chemist had known o, the wants of the family
the medicine could haTe been ob.ained without a visit to
the pitwnbroker. It is now nearly twe years since this
took place, and young James Francis Thomas has been
working in the coal-pit and. rgrouna ever since, earning
ex.ra pay f r over-work, which he is able o perform, Of
course he never had organic di, use of the heart, as was
supposed. The palpitation, rhuemat. sm, and asthma wer
mere symptoms of tue.r al disease, which was dyspep ..a,
or indigestion, for which the remeuy was especially adapted
Those who wish to communicate with this young man can
write to him at the above address, a. el he ill vouch for t e
curative properties of seigel's syrup, the article that
effected this at ..oat miraculous cure. The follawing let er
is from a chemist, who thougnt the facts snould no made
kr, own r—" James Francis 1. homes, of Pontnewynydd, npar
Pontypool, age twenty-three, collier, was ill for nine years,
unable to do any work for three ye .rs, never lay down in
bed for nine 3 ears, had to sleep n a stooping posture, was
treated by nearly an the doctors for miles aro, nd, who
generally stated his comp aint to b rheumatism and heart
aisease of a chronic nature, a d beyond all power to care.
IN hen hope had nearly died out he was persuaded to try
Seigel'B 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 one bottle he went to
work. Has now taken iwo bottles, and on with the third, and i s
quite well mod strong. flis mother is in raptures, and can
talk of nothing else out this marvellous cure, and wishes
me to make it known."
