FEBRUARY Z, 1881.
Ten years ago contracted a severe cold,
which brought me very low. I went from
one doctor to another, getting prescriptions
from each, but the medicines they prescribed
seemed to do me no good. 1 kept getting
worse and worse, until at last became so
weak that il 1 went any distance from my
house it seemed that would never be able
to get back. l was in despair, and had al
most given up all hope of recovery. As
last resort l went to Strope's drug store. in
this city, and asked him II he had any med
icine that would help me. He said he had,
and he was so confident of it that he said,

Pulmonic Syrup, and if it does you no good
YOU ueed not pay for it. / took the bottle
home and commenced using 1t, as you di-
rected and it worked like magic. By the
time it was gone felt very much better, and
SO got another bottle which completed the
cure.
1 have since used the Pulmonic Syrup In
my family many times with the best results.

CHAPTER XVIII.
IN WHICH PHILEAs FOGG, PAssEPARToUT AND
FIX, EACH GOES ABOUT HIS OWN BUSINESS.
During the last few days of the voy-
age the weather was pretty bad. The
wind became very boisterous. Remain
the progress of the steamer. The Ran
coon, too unsteady already, rolled
heavily, and the passengers quite lost
their temper over the long, tiresome
waves which the wind raised at a dis
lance.
During the days of the Sd and 4th of
November it was a sort of tempest.
The squall struck the sea with violence.
The Rangoon had to go slowly for a half
a day, keeping herself in motion with
only ten revolutions of the screw, so as
to lean with the waves.
The rapidity of the steamer, it may
be imagined, was very much diminished,
and it was estimated that she would ar
rive at Hong Kong twenty hours behind
time, and perhaps more, if the tempest
did not cease.
Phileas Fogg looked intently at this
spectacle of raging sea, which seemed
to struggle directly against him. with
his customary impassibility. His brow
did not darken an instant, and yet
delay of twenty hours might seriously
interfere with his voyage by making
him miss the departure of the Yokoha
ma steamer. But this man without
nerves felt neither Impotence nor an
noyance. 1t seemed truly as if this
tempest formed part of his pro-
gramme, and was foreseen. Mrs. Aouda,
who talked with her companion about
this mishap, found him as calm as in the
past.
