STRONG ENGLISH WORDS.

When a person says 81 suffered ex-
cruciating PAIN he expresses a fact in
the strongest words afforded by the
English language. The word ''eXcruci-
ating" comes from cruz cross, and
signifies an intensity of agony compar
able only to that endured by one who
undergoes the barbarous punishment Of
crucifxion. There are some diseases
which, for a time, cause pain of this
acute and formidable nature. To find
relief for it, when possible, is at once
the impulse of humanity and the studi-
Gus desire of science. Two brief exam
pies may indicate what success is at
tending the effort to both comfort and
cure cases of this kind.
Nearly all my life," writes an intel
ligent woman, 81 have borne the bur-
den of what appeared an incurable ill
ness. 1 always felt heavy, weary and
tired. My appetite was poor, and after
eating had cruel pain at my chest
the pain was so intense that was i'm
PEELED to loose my clothing and walk
about the room. My nerves were dis
ordered and impossible, and l was,
consequently, easily disquieted and up
set. My sleep was habitually bad, and
1 seemed none the better for spending
night in bed Eating but little, my
strength waned of necessity, and
came to be very weak. For long time
l got about feebly and with difficulty.
I'm August, 1887, l had an attack OF
rheumatic govt, which gave me the
most narrowing experience of my life
The complaint took its usual course and
refused to yield to the ordinary treat
ment. Through the partial failure Of
the liver and kidneys, dropsy set in and
my legs and feet became pulled and
swollen. l suffered ercrucidting pain
and was confined to my bed for thir.
teen lCeeES. Remedies of every descrip
ton were tried, but to little purpose.
My brother, visiting me one day
said he had been cured of an attack o.
dropsy by medicine called Mother
Seigel's Syrup. l got bottle from Mr.
Hewett, the chemist, in Seven Sisters
Road, and after taking it felt a trifit
easier. l continued taking it, and SCOT
the pain and swelling abated | coul,

Intense pain may or may not indi.
cate urgent danger to life, but it is hare
to bear, and very exhausting just the
same. In cases of rheumatic govt Mrs
Rogers the pain is caused by poison
GUS acid in the tissues, originally pro-
duced by the decomposition of food in
the stomach-indigestio of dyspepsia
The same poison acting on the liver
and kidneys creates the other symp.
toms mentioned. In the case of Mrs
Halliday the ailment was dyspepsia
which in the first place limited infiuen-
