THERE are very few men in
England who are naturally
more hearty and healthy than James
Braddock. He is a gamekeeper,
and lives at Jepson's Clough, Adling-
ton, near Macclesfield. He is stoutly
built, and until two years ago we
may say he never had a week's ill-
ness in the whole sixty years of his
life. One day this summer (1887)
he was found at home, and in the
course of the talk that sprang up,
Braddock told the following story,
which we print because it will
interest many besides himself.
He said: Perhaps you have already
heard about my case, and if so, it's
no use my telling it all over again."
"I heard it alluded to in Man-
chester, was the answer, "but I
should like to hear it from your own
lips."
"Well, sir," said James, "I'll
run it over for you. I've told it lots
of times, and it's always done good
to somebody. It was two years ago
this summer that I was taken very
bad with indigestion. How ill I was,
and how I finally got cured, is no
news to the people in this part of the
country, sir. Scores of them came
from far and near to see me and
talk to me about it. I first noticed
a dull feeling all over me, and my
appetite failed so I could eat nothing
without just forcing it down, sir;
and then it lay like a heavy weight
on my stomach. Food used to make
me feel strong for work and exercise,
but now it seemed to do me no good
at all. My mouth tasted bad, and
when I looked in the glass I saw
my skin and eyes had a yellow
colour, and people said I was dread-
fully bilious, my liver was out of
order, and my blood all full of poison.
And so I believed, for my head
ached and my legs and arms ached,
as though I had some manner of
fever hold of me. I took pill, and
a hundred other medicines, but they
only made me feel a little easier
for a day or two, and then I was
worse than ever.,
•" After a bit, sir, I began to be
short of breath, you know, and had
to sit down and rest, when once I
could tramp all day without being
tired or once fetching a long breath.
I couldn't make out what was the
matter with me or whatever had
brought it on, but I kept on getting

worse, and that much I was sure of.
My heart would flutter and get

weak and faint in my breast, and
that frightened me more than the
stomach trouble, for I didn't know
then that the indigestion and dys-
pepsia were really the cause of it
all, sir. People kept telling me I
had the heart complaint, and was
likely to fall down dead any minute.
You may fancy how this took all
the courage out of me, and I thought
my work was done in this world.
So it went on, sir, neither my friends
nor the doctors appeared to under-
stand what was ailing me.

"One day I was taken with such
a queer spell, it almost scares me to
think back of it. I couldn't get
my breath. I was choked as
though a strong man had me by the
throat, and I was sure I was going
to die. The people fanned me and
gave me whisky, and after a while
I came out of it, weak as a c 4-, sir,
and all in a cold sweat.

"But my stomach got worse aft er-
wards, and I was afraid the choking
might come back, and the next time
it would certainly kill me. It was
about this time, one day, I picked
up a North Cheshire newspaper and
read of a case like mine being cured
by Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup.
I thought half-a-crown would na'
break me, and I bought a bottle.
The first few doses did me good, sir.
You wouldn't 'a believed it, neither
would I, but it did. In a few days,
maybe two weeks, sir, my stomach
began to act, and my victuals stopped
on it, and my strength begun to
comeback."

" You ha d no more choking, then F "

said the visitor.

"No, sir, not after that. The
fluttering of the heart troubled me
no more, and the yellow went out of
my eyes and skin; and, to put it
short, sir, after taking two bottles
of Mother Seigel's Syrup I got as
well as I ever was in my life. What
this medicine is made of I don't
know, but I'm sure that it's not like
anything else. If I hadn't seen that
account of it in the paper, and been
-led tanse it, as. certain as I talk to
you now, sir, I believe I should have
been under the sod months and
months ago. I tell about it to every-
body, and will do so as long as I
have a tongue in my head, sir."
