TEN MONTHS' SUFFERING IN A HOSPITAL.

There is an old saying that physicians are a class of men.who pour drugs, of • which they know little, into bodies of which they • ' 'know less. This is both true and untrue at 0 the same time. There are good and poor lawyerß, and good and poor doctors. The trouble with these medical gentlemen aa a profession is that they are clannish and not lore pay,* by then- frequent failures, the ■penalty ot refusing Instruction unless the teacher bears their own "Hall Mark.' 1 • J An eminent physician—Dr Brown-Sequard, «f Pari3—states the fact accurately, when he 1 says T" The medical profession are sojbound np in their Wlf-confiaence and conceit that ,tney allow the diamond truths of science to Wjpicked up by persons entirely oiitside iKeir'ranks. We give a most interesting incident, which illustrates this important r "truth. •"''','.', i )<!' The "Concordia," ; of the Donaldson Line sailed from Glasgow for ; ; Bal*inioro in 1887, having on board as afire " man a man named Bichard Wade, of Glasgow. ', • H« had be«n a fireman for fourteen years on Various ships sailing to America; China, and India. He had borne the hard and exhausting labor, And had been healthy and strong. On [ tne trip we now name he began for the first time Jto 'feel weak and ill. His appetite * failed,- and''he 'suffered from drowsiness, • (heartburftj a bad taste in the mouth^ and costiveness and-irregularity of the ,bowels. j Sometimes when 'at work hehad attacks of -, giddiness, but supposed it to be caused by the heat* of the fire room. . Quite often he - jtaSj sick and felt like vomiting, and; had some pain in the head. Later during the passage he grew worse, and when the »hip reached Halifax he was placed hi the Victoria' Genewl Hospital, and the ,ship ;i wiled away without him., The house ■ iurgeon gave him some powders to nto,p the vomiting, and the next day, the visiting Ithysician igivre him a mixture to take every our honra. Within two days Wade was so much .worse, that the doctors stopped both he powders and the mixture. A month ; .; pftssed,, the poor fireman getting worse \ and Then came another doctor, who was to be'visiting physician for the next five ;r months. " He'gave other medicines, but not Vmuok relief. Nearly all that, time Wade ; 'Muffered great torture; he digested nothing ''•>•' throwing up all he ate.'- There was terrible pain in the bowels burning heat in the . throat,:(heftrtburn, and racking -headache. s ' k 'The patient was now taking* mixture every fburliours, powders, one after each meal to digest the food j, operating pijjp one ,every !X sight, and temperature pills two each night ;fto ' stop ' !'the cold sweats. If drugs .could curb, him at all, Bichard had '-'- an idea that he took enough to doit. ;But if .on the other hand r pleurisy set in and th* ■•■>'.doctor,l took ninety ounces of matter from hit right side and then told him he was sure to '■;"„ die... Five months more rolled by and' there , uo .wa» another change of visiting pfcysiciansh ,f!The,new one gavei Wade a .mixture whica he said made him t.rem hie like a'leaf on tree. ,-, At this crisis Wade's Scotch bloodasserted ;' Itself. , He'refused to stand any more dosing, ;li andtaldthe doctors that if he must die ho ■/'could die as well without them as with them. >f> ;By this'time a cup of milk would turn sour "•"a& his'stcmachyand lie therefor days. (Our iff friend from Glasgow was like'a, wreck on a shoal, fast going to pieces. We will let , * him tell, the j rest of, his (experience in the •, tfrords jn.iWhjch he ioommunicated it to the press. ~ " m '■<;,,:•• : : » He say«: "When I was in this staf!e a lady whom I had,never seen came to the hospital and talked with me. She proved to 1 bo an angel of mercy, for without her I should not now be alive. She, told me of a medicine called 'Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup,' and brought me a bottle next day. I (Started with it, without consulting ithe doctors, and'to only a few days' time I was ,,, .out of bed calling for. ham and eggs for ' , k J>redkfast. From that'time keeping on with: .Mother Seigel's great remedy^' I got well „.,/ fast, and was soon able to leave the hospital . ; and come home to Glasgow. Ii now feel as ->if I-was in another world, and have no -r illnees of any kind." • ' \ - The above facts are calmly and impartially stated, and the reader may draw his own . conclusion. We deem it best -to use no names although Mr Wade gave; them in his ■! original deposition. His address is No 244, Stobcross street, Glasgow, where letters will reaoh him. -

Light and Shade.

One of fche most wonderful discoveries in science that have been made within the last year or two is the fact that a beam of iight produces pound (says the " Ameri can Art Journal"). A beam of sunlight is thrown through a lens on a glass vessel that contains lamp black, coloured silk, or worsted or other substances. A-dish, having slips or openings cut in it, is made to revolve swiftly in this beam of light, so as to cut it up, thus making it alter nate flashes of light and shadow. On putting the ear to the glass vessel, strang© souncls are heard so long as the flashing beam ia falling on the vessel. Becently a f^nore wonderful discovery has baen made A beam of sunlight is made to pass through a prism, so as to produce what is called the solar spectrum or rainbow. The disc is turned, and the colored light of the rainbow is made to break through it. Now place the ear to the vessel contain ing the silk, wool, or other material. Aa the colored lights of the spectrum fall upon it, sounds will be given by different' parts of the spectrum, and there will be silence in other parts^ For instance, if the vessel contains red worsted, and tho green light flashes upon it, loud sounds | will be given. Only feeble sounds will be heard when the red, and blue parts of the rainbow fall upon the vessel, and other colors make no sound at all. Green silk gives' sound best in red lisjht. Every kind of material gives more or less sound indifferent colors, and utters no sound in'otWs. The discovery is a strange one, and it is thought more wonderful things will come from it.

STARTLING EVENT IN A VILLAGE

To the Editor of " Saturday Night,', Birmingham. I recently came into posses- ] sion of certain facts of so remarkable a nature, that I am sure you will be giad to assist in making them public. The follows ing letters were shown to me, and I at once begged permission to copy them for the Press. They come from a highly responsible i sovrcc, and may bo received without ques tion. MESSAGE from Gkorgk Jamks Goht uyo, L.D.S., R.C.5.1., Ph. C.L, Licentiate in Pharmacy and Dental Surgeon.

"Stowi^arket," July"l 8, 1836. To Mr White, \ The enclosad remarkable cure :sbould, I think, be printed and circulated in Suffolk, The statement was entirely voluntary, and is genuine in fact and detail, —G.jiG. ' "To the Proprietors of MotherSeigeVs Syrup." " Gentlemen. —The following remarkable cure was related to me by the husband, Mary Ann Spink, of Fmborougu^Suffolk', was for over twenty years afflicted with rheumatism and neuralgia, and although comparatively a young woman at the time she was attacked (she is now ;fifty), she was compelled, in consequence, to' walk with two sticks, and even then with difficulty and pain. About a year and a half ago'she was advised to try Mother Seigel'a: Syrup,' and aft^r taking three bottles.arid twb boxes of. Seigel's Operasing Pills, the use of her livib was restored, and she is now able to walk three miles to Stowmarket with ease in three quarters of an - hour. Any sufferer who deubts this story can fully ascertain its truthfulness by ; paying a visit to thb village and enquiring of the villagers, who will rcetify, to the, facts." [ • ' "Appended is' the husband's signatu c to the stctement, . .- ■ v ' " (R. Spink); ; ' ; • ' ; G. S. Sostling, ; ; / Ipswich Street, 1 '•'=.. v Stowmarket. ) This is certainly a very pitiable case^ and the happy cure wrought by this simple but powerful remedy, must move the sympathy of all hearts in a common pleasure. This poor woman had been a cripple for-, twenty of her best years; years in which she Bhould have had such comfort *uid enjoyment as flic has to give. But, on the contrary! ishe was a miserable burden te herself and a' source of oare to her friends.' Nb^f,, at an age when the rest of us are growing feeble, she, in a manner, renews her youth and ■almost begins a new existence. What a bleßsiilg and what a wonder it is ! :No one who knows her, or who reads her story, but will be thankful that the, good liord has enabled; men to discover a remedy (capable of bringing about a cure that reminds ua if we speak it reverently—of the' age of miracles. . i ,

England: An Ode.

In the,second number of the new series of the, "United Service Magazine" for May, is, a fine poem by Mr Swinburne, from which we give the following stanzas :

Far and near from the swan's nest here the storm-birds bred of her fair white breast

Sons whose home was the sea wave's foam, have borne the fame of her east east and wast :;:•';

North and, south has the storm wind's mouth rung praise of England and England's quest.

Fame, wherever her flag flew, never for -1 bore: to fly with an equal wing; France and Spain with their warrior train bowed down before her as thrall to king ; India knelt at, her feet, and felt her sway more fruitful of life than spring.

All the terror of time, where error and fear were lords of a world of slaves, Age on age in resurgent rage and anguish • ' '% darkening as waves on waves, Fell or fled from a face that shed such grace as quickens tho dust of graves. .

Music made,of change and conquest, glory born of evil slain, Stilled the discord, slew the darkness, bade the lights of tempest wane, Where the deathless dawn of England rose i in sign that right should reign.

Mercy, where the tiger wallowed mad and blind with blood and lust, Justice where the jackal July od and fed, and slaves allowed it just, ' Rose as England's light on Asia rose,, and ; j smotefchenvdown to,dust.*' ' ; ■

When the football sounds of England,

where the smile of England shines, Rings the tread and laughs the face of freedom, fair as hope divines Days to be, more brave than ours, and lit by lordier stars, for signs.

All our past acclaims our future J Shak speare's voice and Nelson's hand,; Milton's faith and Wordsworth's trust in this our chosen and chainless land, Bear us witness ; como tho woi"ld against her, England yet shall stand.

And loud as tho sea's voice thunders ap plause of the land that is one wifcli the sea

Speaks Time in the ear of the people that never afc heart was not inly free The word of command that assures us of life, if we will but that life shall be ;

If the race that is first of the races of men who behold unshamed the sun , :.' , Stand fast and forget not the sign that is given of the years and the wars that are dono,

Tho tokens that all who are born of it's blood should in heart as in blood be one.

The word of remembrance that lightens us fire from the steeps of tho storm-lit past Bids only tho faith of our fathers endure in us, firm as they held it fast: ; That the glory which was from tho first upon England alone may endure to tho last.

Change darkens and lightens around lier, alternate in hope and in fear to bo : Hope knows not if fear speak truth, nor fear whether hope be not blind as .she: But the sun is in heaven that beholds her immortal, and girdled with life by the sea.
