Too Plain For A Riddle.

TOO PLAIN FOR A RIDDLE .

TS pain " a riddle lo which the earth can give no answer ?" In his address at tho recent Boston ( U . S . A . ) celebration c-E tlie semi-centennial of atnustlicsia Dr . S . Weir Mitchell said that it is . If he means that tho very existence of evil and trouble in this world is a " riddle , " it is nob worth while to argue the point

with him . The theologians and metaphysicians have hammered away at that conundrum for centuries without making' head or tail of it . But allow tho existence of evil in shape of disease ( as we must ) it is not hard to spell out what pain is for . Any schoolboy ( dull boy at that ) can see through it .

A tipsy man sits down beforo the fire to dry his boots and warm his feet . Five minutes later , in a sodden sleep ho sticks out his legs and deposits both feet on the red hot coals . Before you can count twenty he yanks his boots oil the grate with a yell .

Now , what conveyed to the unconscious man the information on wliich he acted—thus saving himself serious injury ? It was what Dr . Mitchell calls a riddle—Fain .

At fchisstage of the argumeuti beg to introduce our good friend Mr . May , of Ramsgate . He is a well known florist there , and the story he tells may be trusted in every particular and will lead us straight to the conclusion we want to come at .

"In the early part of 1893 , " he says , "I began to feel ill and out of sorts . I felt low and dull as if something had como over me . I had a bad taste in tho mouth , a poor appetite and all my food lay like a lump of lead on my chest . I had a sinking sensation at tho pit of tho stomach which mado mo feel wretched .

" I passed restless nights , and soon got so weak and dejected that I wished to have no company . I got about my business , but it was in pain and misery that I did so . In this stf . te I continued for six months , getting worse and worse , until I thought I should have died . I saw a doctor , but his medicines did not suit my case .

" MrjjLongley , plumber , St . Lawrence , then recommended ino to try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup . I got a bottle of : this medicine from Mr , Saunders , chemist , and after taking it I found

Too Plain For A Riddle.

great relief . My appetite improved , and the food agreed with mc , and I felt brig hter and stronger . When I had taken two bottles I was as well as ever , my friends asking what had wrought the change . "I toll all that Mother Seigel's Syrup restored mo to sound

health . My wife who suffered for a long time from indigestion , took tho same medicine and soon was completely cured . You can publish this statement and refer any one to me ( Signed ) It . May , Manstone Cottage , St . Lawrence , Ramsgate , January 27 th , 1897 . "

If the sleeping man with his feet on the hot coals ( assuming that he was alone in the room ) had not been warned by the pain of the burn , ho might have beon crippled for life in ton minutes . The obvious purpose of pain , then , is to lot us know when things are going wrong with theso bodies of ours . Distress , discomfort ,

misery , the observed failure of some great organ to parform its duty , the interruption of the customary habits and workings of tho body—all those things , and others , aro in the nature of messages or notifications to tho mind that there exists a condition we call

disease ; which must be attended to afc once if we value-out * lives . In medicine those sensations are called symptom ?) by thoir variety and relation to one another enabling the doctor to judge what ails us .

This is the common sense of pain . It is no more a " riddle , " if Dr . Mitchell please , thau tho clouds thafc toll us when fco expect rain . The disease from which Mr . May suffered , whereof ho feared ho might die , was fchafc prevailing and dangerous complaint

dyspepsia . His weakness resulted from his inability to digest suflicient food to maintain his strength . Now suppose thoro had bcen no other sign of ill-health about him savo mere weakliest .

That would have been bad enough , bufc it was the pain and mine r !/ , the positive wretchedness caused by tho disease , that impelled him to continue seeking a cure until ho fortunately found it in Mother Seigel ' s Syrup .

No , no , pain is not a " riddle . " It is ono of Nature s most merciful agents , as Mother Seigel's Syrup is one of her greatest remedies .
