MY object in writing is twofold
—to e?rpress my gratitude
or a great benefit, and to tell a
short story which cannot fail to
r"
interest the feelings of many others.
It is all about myself, but I have

remarked that when a man tells the

honest truth about himself he is all

the more likely to be of use to his

fellow-creatures. To begin, then,

you must know I had long been

more or less subject to attacks of
bronchitis, a complaint that you

are aware is very common and
troublesome in Great Britain in

certain seasons of the year. Some

months ago I had a very severe
turn of it, worse, I think, than I

had ever had before. It was pro-

bably brought on by my catching
cold, as we are all apt to do when
we least expect it. Weeks passed

by, and my trouble proved to be
very obstinate. It would not yield

to medicine, and as I also began to
have violent racking pains in my
limbs and back, I became greatly
alarmed. I could neither eat nor
sleep. If I had been a feeble, sickly
man, I should have thought less

strangely of it; but as, on the con-
trary, I was hearty and robust, I
feared some new and terrible thing
had got hold of me, which might
make all my strength of no avail
I say, that was the way
I thought.

against it.

Presently I could not even lie
down for the pain all over my body,
I asked my doctor what he thought
of my condition, and he frankly said,
" I am sorry to have to tell you
that you are getting worse!" This
so frightened my friends, as well as
myself, that they said, "Thomas,
you must go to the hospital; it may
y our only chance for life!"

But I didn't want to go to the
hospital. Who does ? when he thinks

he can possibly get along without
t:oing, it. I am a labouring man,

as well in my grave as to be laid
on my , in a hospital unable to

knows _Low long. Right at this
point I had a thought flash across
my mind like a streak of sunshine

in a cloudy day. I bad heard and
read a good deal about Mother
Seigel's Curative Syrup, and I re-
solved, before consenting to be taken
to the hospital, I would try that
well-known remedy. On this I gave
up the doctor's medicine and began
taking the Syrup. Mark the wonder-
ful result! I had taken but three
doses within twenty-four hours when

I was seized NNritli a fit of coughing,

and threw up the phlegm and mucus
off my chest by the mouthful. The
Syrup had loosened and broken it
up. Continuing with the Syrup,
the racking pain, which I believ.
came from the bitter and poisoL

humours in my blood and joj.,--fA,
soon left me entirely, and I felt like
going to sleep, and I did sleep sound
and quiet. Then I felt hungry, with
a natural appetite, and as I ato I
soon got strong and well.

In a week I was able to go to triy

work again. It doesn't seem pos-
sible, yet it is true, and the neigh-
bours know it. There are plenty
of witnesses to prove it. And, there.

news of the great power of Seigel's

Syrup to cure pain and disease far

me.
