PAWNING A. PAIR OP TROUSERS FOR MEDICINE.—James
,Francis Thomas lives at Pontnewynydd. near Pontypool,
INlonmontlDhire. He is now twenty•three years of ago,

'living with his soother, a widow. Some eleven years ago,
then a mere boy, he went to work in a coal-pi as a miner,
in order to assist his moVier in rearing her iamily of little
ehildren. Soon, however, the little fellow broke down in
health; but the necessities of the family seemed to req.:ire,
C. and he continu,d to toil in the mines, cuffs tug all the
im from the effects of indigestion, an agonising symptom
.iatit'g ustlino ,in ouch a troublesome firm that tire soy was
;usable to he in bed. Working thi ough the day, atid rest-
oas hes c could in au arin chair during the nitght
,aturally undermined his constittt oh Year by yerr,by
liis health grew worse and worse, until at last rheutoatism
,:tztine with all its dreadf,l agony One j&nt after another
oecame swollen and infl :need, so that he was obliged to step
work. In his sad plight the now yoanz man was confined
to the hoese fortwo I°4 y. ties, suffering sit that ricotta'
ould endire. o.le nhysican after another was called upon
Ca treat his comAitint, but with no i-enent, for the p. or,
fellow continued togrow worse and worse. Hoping to find
'owe means of relief, a consultation of doe ors was hold
wh:n it was decided that au oreanic disease or the heart
existed in an in urable form, and that medical aid could
not afford relief. He was given up to die. These Pia" of
xpensive medical treatmrnt had exhausted the little
avings o he mother, and they had no money to buy even
•he nece:isaries of life. But a fond mother never gives up
in desp. ir. There was one ss ark of hope left. Someone
inul told her of a semedy that ha s cured so many eases—
even when as hopeless as this one seemed; o be—and the
mot her's loee went out for her dear boy. But how to get
the mediciuo w..s the question. Their money was entirely
zone. The boy hada new pair of trousers that he hail keen
to ill to wear, and the mother reasoned within herself, 'I
;he boy is to die he will not need them, so r. may as well
P ledge them for medi: me with an t ffert to save his life."
Strange as it may appear, the bottles of medicine procured
t the chemist's shop in Pontypool, with the money obtained
at the pawnbroker's effei,.ted a cure in this hoeless ease,
which had been pronounced as incurable. But it is only to

ay that if the chemist had known ,:f the wants of the faiiiily
the m.dicine could have been ob'ained without a viiiit to
the p wnbroker. It is now nearly two yea7s since this
took place, and young James Francis ThAnas has been
