WHY He DID NOT co TO THE H0SPl-
TAI.
HE COULD LEAP THROUGH THE AIR

Nj Y object in writing is two-fold:
uI to express my gratitude for
great benefit, and to tell a short story
which cannot fail to interest the
feelings of many others. 1t is all
about myself, but l have remarked
that when man tells the honest
truth about himself he is all the
more likely to be of use to his fell
low-creatures. To begin, then, you
must know | 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 1 had
very severe turn of it, worse, l
think, than | ever had before. 1t
was probably 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. 1t would not
yield to medicine, and as l also be-
gan to have violent racking pains in
my limbs and back, L became great
ly alarmed. l could neither eat nor
sleep. If l had been a feeble, sick
ly man, should have thought less
strangely of it; but as, on the con-
trary, / was hearty and robust, /
feared some new and terrible thing
had got hold of me, which might
make my strength Of no avail against
it. l say, that was the way ]
thought.
Presently l could not even lie
down for the pain all over my body.
l asked my doctor what he thought
of my condition, and he frankly,
81 am sorry to have to tell you that
you are getting worsen' This SC
frightened my friends, as we'll as
myself, that they said "zhomaS
yOu must 90 to the Hospital; Il
may be your only chance for LITER
But / didn't want to go to the
hospital. Who does, when he
thinks he can possibly get along
without doing it? 1 am a labourinl
man, with large family depending
on me for support, and might al
most as well be in my grave as t.
be laid on my back in a hospita
unable to lift a hand for months
or God only knows how long. RICH
at this point l had thought flasl
across my mind like streak of sun
shine in cloudy day. l had hear,
and read good deal about Mothe
Seigel's Curative Syrup, and l re
solved, before consenting to b.
taken to the hospital, / would tr,
that wellknown remedy. On this
gave up the doctors medicine an,
began taking the Syrup. Mark tn
wonderful result! 1 had taken bu
; three doses within twenty-four hour
when / was seized with a fit @
coughing, and threw up the phlegr
and mucus off my chest by tn
mouthful. The Syrup has loosene
and broken it up. Continuing wit
the Syrup, the racking pain, whic
l believe came from the bitter an
poison humors in my blood an
: joints, soon left me entirely, and
felt like going to sleep, and l di
, sleep sound and quiet. Then fe
t hungry, with a natural appetite, an
/ as | ate l soon got strong and wei

l bours know it. There arc plent

wonder at me.
