What Really Went Wrong.

WHAT REALLY WENT WRONG .

/"\ NLY tho other day ifc was that I talked about how people ave so often scared at thing's whicii are not dangerous , and

have no rear of things thafc are dangerous . There is so much of this ( and it is so important to get afc the rights of it ) , I shall have to trouble you with a word more , for tlie general good . On March 22 nd , this year ( 180-1 ) , Michael Frawley " of

Miltown , county Glare , Ireland , wrote a letter describing' an illness lie had been through and come luckily out of . Prom that letter I p ick one sentence , first of all , and put it by itself , where you can see it plain , nnd read ifc :

"My heart thumped and throbbed so much that I thoutjht I hod heart disease . "

No wonder he thought so , and no wonder he was frightened about it . Besides , the sensation , when the heart behaves that way , is worrying and alarming , even if one happens to understand the cause of it . Yet , as a matter of fact , Mr . Frawley was in no danger at all from his heart . His danger lay in quite another direction . Let us read his letter .

" It was in March , 1889 , That I began to feel there was something wrong with me . Before that time I had always been strong and healthy . The first signs were that my tongue was thickly furred and I had a foul taste in tho mouth . My appetite was poor , and after eating I had great pain and distress at my chest and sides , and iu the back between the shoulder blades .

" I was constantly belching up wind , and my abdomen used to swell until I could scarcely bear the feeling and tlie inconvenience of it . My head was dizzy , aud spots floated before my

eyes , and often I would have such a rush of blood to my head that I could hardly see . Often as I walked along the road I feared I should fall down . I used to break out into cold , clammy sweats , and would tremble and shake all over me .

" I got no sleep afc night , and grew so weak that from time to time I had to be off my work . I saw one doctor after another , but their medicines did me no good . In September , 1890 , I went to the County Infirmary , Ennis , where I was seen by several doctors , but they all said they could do nothing to help me .

What Really Went Wrong.

" I was now almost too weak to walk about , and my heart thumped aud throbbed so much I thought I had heart disease . My head got worse aud worse , and sometimes I felfc as if I should go out of my mind .

"This was my condition until December , 1892 , when I came upon a little book telling about Mother Seigel ' s Curative Syrup , and how many cases like mine had been cured by tlie Syrup after everything else had proved to be of no use .

" I got a bottle from Mr . Flynn , Licentiate Apothecary , Miltown , and after taking it I felfc relief , and after liaving taken four bottles I was able to get about my work . From that time my health steadily improved till I was well and strong as ever .

All the trouble with my head and heart was entirely gone . But for Mother Seigel ' s Syrup I believe I should now be in my grave . ( Signed ) Michael Frawley , Miltown , Malbay , co . Clare , Ireland , March 22 nd , 1894 . "

In a separate communication Mr . Flynn vouches for the accuracy of fche statement of Mr . Frawley . But it really isn't necessary ; its truth is plain on its face . Now please bear in mind the few words you are going to read from this place on to the end .

'things that kill do not generally make much noise . Diseases that kill are nofc half the time located where you think they are " Hence you got anxious about the wrong * thing , and some of the doctors doctor you for the wrong thing . More people die from that than if they were let alone . There was nothing ailed Mr . Frawley ' s heart , nor his chest , nor his back , nor his head .

Whafc ho suffered iu those places were ( now look sharp !) MANIFESTATIONS of the true malady located elsewhere—namel y , indigestion and dyspepsia , located in the stomach . It was the poisons from that sink of death and corruption that ran all over

hi ' s body , started all the ofcher local disturbances , and nearly made an end of him . Mother Seigel's Syrup set his stomach right , and in a twinkling he was right everywhere . Don ' t get excited and fuddled over symptoms . Say , " It ' s the stomach gone wrong , " and cure it with the same sure remedy .
