PAWNING A PAIR OR TROVIIRS TOR MIDICINR --James
Francis Thomas lives at Fontnewynydd. near Pontypool,
Ifontnouththire. He is now twenty-three years or age,
living with his mother, a widow. Some eleven years ago.
then a mere boy, he went to work in a coal-pt. as a miner.
in order to assist his mother in rearing her family of little
children. Boon, however, the little fellow broke down in
`ictilth ; but the necessities of the family seemed to require,
`., and he continued to toil in the mines, suffering all the
ims from the effects of indigestion, an agonising symptom
!wing asthma, in such a troublesome form that the boy was
')le to lie in bed. Working through the day, and rest-
as best i e could in an arm chair during the night
nraiiy undermined his constitution. Year by year,hy
is health grew worse and worse, until at last rheumatism
Jams with all its dreadful agony. One joint after anuther

became swollen and infled, so that he was Obliged to-stop
work. In this sad plight the now yoitr min was confined
, o the house for two long years, suffering all that mortal

aid endure. One physican after another was called upon
J treat his complaint, but with no I.enefit, for the puor,
fellow continued to grew worse and worse. Hoping to find
some means of relief, a consultation of doe ors was held
when it was decided that an organic disease of the heart
existed in an in, urahle form, and that medical aid could
not afford relief. He was given up to die. These years of
expensive medical treatment had ex.:misted the little
savings o he mother, and they had no money to buy yen
he nece,saries of life. But a fund mother never gives up
titlesp ir. There was one spark of hope left. 6omeoutt
had told her of a 'remedy that has outed so many CaIISCS.--
even when as hopeless as this one aeemedr, o he—and the
mother's wont out for her dear boy. But how to get
he medicine ws the question. Their money w.es entire y
zone. The boy bade new pair of trousers that he had beau
• ill to wear, and the mother reasoned within herself,
them e col
money

he boy is to die he will not need them, sa may all well
pledge them for medi, inc with an <Siert to save his life:.
Strange as it may appear,

t the chemist's shop iothf
t the pawnbroker's effected a cure in this hopeless case,
which had been pronounced as incurable. But it .s only to
say that if the chemist had known of the wants of the fatally
he medif ine could have been obtained without a visit to
he p-wnbroker. It is now nearly two years e ace this
ook place, and young James Francis Thomas has been
working in the coal-pit und.rground ever since, earzimg
evra pay f r over-work, which he is able to perform. Of
.ourse he never had organic di ease of the heart as was
apposed. The palpitation, rheumat em, and blithum were
mere symptoms of too real disease, which was dyspepsia,
indigestion, for which the remedy was especially adapted
