At four o'clock on the morning of November Sti, 1875, an express train on the Lehigh alway, in America, was on the top unfain, eighteen miles above the city esbarte. Among the passengers were ident of the United States and sev is Cabinet, in a special coach, From this point the geode was very. ste unit the roud full of curves. Tv was the tom to keep the brakes set all the way down If they failed, disaster was sure to follow. Within a minute after the train started, the driver noticed that something ud suddenly kone wrong with the brakes. The train kept pushing the engine. He reversed, but with-but checking the speed. Seeing this, the gourd and one or two other train men jumped, dud escaped with only slight injuries. The train now ran faster and faster, and a horrible death seemed waiting for all on board. The diver blow the whistle continuously to warn trains at the foot of the mountain of his approach, When the runaway passed Nescopeck station it was going at the rate of nearly seventy miles an hour, and the faithful driver stood at his post, bareheaded, holding on, and still blowing the whistle. At the foot of the mountain all the trains had got out of the stay except the rear end of a coal train wh eas just smuting, Into this. the passenger train dashed with a crash that was beard for miles around, knocking the coal cars in all directions, The poasengers were bally shaken, and some were bruised, but none were killed. But where was the brave driver? Frou under the wreck of the overturned engine he was taken an hour afterwards, crushed and dying, but still able to speal Is the President safe?" he gasped. Yes, and every body else," was the answer. Thank God for that," he said, and never spoke again.
'A splendid deed, truly, yet there is not a driver in a hundred who would not have stood to his duty with the same fidelity. Exposed toall sorts ut weather, to constant danger, and laden with responsibility, the engine drivers have © commendable record, and deserve higher appreciation both by the companies and by the public.
"Tan: an engine driver," says Edward Roberts, and have been for eleven years. My health was always good until July, 1885. Then something came aver me that I couldn't account for. Ielt tired, sleepy, and languid. My stomach felt sour and col, my mouth tasted awfully bad, and my tongue was thickly ovated. A disagreeable fluid came into my mouth, and my appetite failed. No food, however light, agreed with me, and I had great pain after eating anything at all. Yo ten minutes my stomach would be all ina ferment, and swell like balloon does when the gas is running into it. I had also miserble tightness around my chest and sides. Later on I had awful pain in the kidneys. I could not rest at night I had dreadful dreams, and would turn and tarn in bed, but found no ease.
time went on I got weaker and weaker until {could scarcely crawl to my work, but having a large family to support I struggled on as best could, whea many another would have been confined to bed. "As it was, my suffering was so great that I went to bed as soon as I returned from my work. For over four years I went on in this fashion, about half alive and half dead, obtaining no relief from the medicines the doctors yave me. I took six bottles of pepsine, but did no good, neither did the seven bottles of a Inedicine we sent over and got from Dublin, "In May, 1890, a lady who called at my house, told me of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Syrup, and recommended me to t it; so 1 got a bottle from Mr. Wilson, at Dri Hall, Holyhead, and began taking it Ina week I felt better, my stomach was easier, and my food digested and I gradually gained strength. By the time I had taken six bot-ties Iwas as strong as ever. I could eat anything and have kept well ever since. Ihave told of my recovery everywhere, and man; of my ds have used the Syrup with benefit. I wish my experience to be published, and will reply to inquiries about my case.
