day morning, under the presidency of Mr. H.
Roberts. lessrs. R, Banner, W. Collins, and Powell
(seerwary to the committee) addressed the meetings
It was stated the strike was general throughout the
) country and Bromsgrove districts, and was one
of the best tnat had ever taken place. The men
were counselled to stand firm, and the opinion was
expressed that it they remain d united they would
shortly have the advanc,cl price conceded to them.
Banner advised the men to combine together
when they had secured the advance to prevent
underselling and to put the unprincipled masters
down as soon as they began their nasty tricks. He
acsured his hearers that in their endeavour to
maintain the price they would have the assistance
ofthe public and the Chrisitan masters.—Mr
Collins stated that a firm in Catehill had expressed
their willingness not only to pay according to the
1879 list but in advance of it if the other masters
would do likewise. He claimed that as a matter of
fairness the masters should give the men noti,e of
any reduction they intended to make at any tim3
in the same way that the men acquainted the
masters of their intention of seeking an advance.
He condemned the practice of the masters taking
the mem single-handed and reducing their prices
Mr. Powell cautioned the men against allowing the
masters to prevail upon them to take in a little
work du jug the strike to complete the riaster's
orders. If the men did so the strike would be pro-
longed.—The men seem determined to persevere in
their efforts to get the advance.

THERE Are very few men in
England who are mit-di-ally
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."

aa,..1 that much I was sur,,
My heart would. flutter aryl
weak and faint in Inv breast,
that frightened me more than the
stomach trouble, for I didn't know'
then that the indigestion and (Vs-
-
pepsia were really the cause -0, it;
all, sir. 'People kept telling me I
had the heart complaint, and \vas
likely to fall down dead any miniiie•
You may fancy how this tool: an
the courage out of me, and I thoug-ht
my work was done in this world.
So it went on, sir, neither my ric,nd3
nor the doctors appeared to tulle-
stand what was ailing me.


"One day I was taken with sarh
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 b:- the
throat, and I was sure I was
to die. The people fanned 111: and
gave me whisky, and after a while
I came out of it, weak as a c 't,
and all in a cold sweat.

" I heard it alluded to in Man-
chester, was the answer, "but I
should like to hear it from your own

"But my stomach got worse after-
wards, and I was afraid the choking
might come back, and the next Hine
it would certainly kill me. It-was
about this time, one day, I picked
up a North Cheshire newspaper vnil
read of a case like mine being c-ired
by Mother 6eigel's Curative Syrup.
I thought half-a-crown woul.l 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
come back."

" You ha d no more choking, then ?"
said the visitor.

"No, sir, not after that. The
fluttering of the heart troubled me
no more, and the yellow wet
my eyes and skin; and, to put I
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 to use 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."
