8 You will be in kingdom-come in less than. taveloe months "You can't live three years Fou are not going to die These three prophecies: were. addressed to the same man, The last one had the most comfort in it, yet he couldn't tell which had the most inspiration.
Here's the story. It isn't pleasant reading at first, but it "comes out" all right, as the children say Perhaps it's better to let our friend tell it himself. We all like the pronoun "I," that's why an autobiography is never dull, This relator is a butcher of Auckland, N.Z., and his style is so clear and good, it needs no editing.
He says: "Some five years ago, when lifting a quarter of beef, I noticed a reman able soreness in the small of my-back, I called a doctor, gave up business, and took tomy bed. He prescribed a lotion to be rubbed in around the region of the kidneys. This was done, and I remained in bed several days, suffering excruciating agony. At last, having examined the kidney secretions, the doctor said, You have Bright's disease, and will be in Kingdom-come in less than twelve months." thought, however, it would be as well-to Never believing I had Bright's disease, I insure my life. On examination, the company's physician refused to pass me for life insurance, saying, You can't live three year."
About three months afterwards I was again seized with a severe attack, and went about more dead than alive, Finally I broke down and again took to my bed, as was sup: posed, for the last time, I sold one of my businesses so as not to leave too many affairs for my wife to supervise, made my will, and explained to my wife what to do in case of my death, I can well remember her listening With tears in her eyes ta what she believed were my last instructions. I then lingered for some weeks, waiting for death to free me from my sufforings—taking whatever
om heines were prescribed, but deriving little "One evening a friend called, and we talked over my case and the very serious turn it had taken. Presently he said, You are not going to dic. Have you tried Seigel's syrup yet?"
"-Teonfessed that I had not, In fact, I had religiously followed the instructions of my medical advisers. My friend persuaded me to try Seigel's Syrup, and J began at once, taking twenty-drop doses according to. the directions, In about a week I felt a little more life in me, and after having finished the second bottle I'was convinced that improve. ment had fairly set in. I continued taking the Syrup until T had consumed ten bottles, then went downstairs to work again, still using the Syrup. After having taken' from eighteen to twenty bottles altogether, I found myself entirely well. It is now four years since I took my last dose of Mother Seigel's Syrup for Bright's disease of the kidneys, and Thave suffered no symptoms of kidney complaint since.

We print Mr. Hutchinson's statement as he wrote it, vet it is not probable that his malady was actually Bright's disease, as that is a degeneration or destruction of the substance of the kidneys, and difficult, ifnotimpossible, to cure. What he really suffered from was, no doubt, a debilitated state of the sy originating in indigestion and dyspepsia", with severe kidney symptoms, as is often the ease. When we remember that searly all maladies, including rheumatism, gout, consumption, liver complaint, heart disease, &c., lue to poisons in the blood, arising from fermented food in the digestive tract, we can see why Mother Seigel's Syrup is victorious diseases." "And because of the one' source of over so great a variety of apparently diverse these complaints, serious-and often fatal. mistakes are made li the diagnosla and in the treatment. The point to emphasise is this Heart disease, consumption, and Bright's disease are much rarer than they are supposed \to be. Generally what seems like them is a group of symptoms of indigestion and dyspepsia. "It is always best to take the jad ice of Mr. Hutchinson's friend when he said, You are not going to die; try Seigel's Syrup."
