That two of n trade seldom agree is a com-saying. Its weakness, however, resides in the fact that it is a cavilling, sneering saying. The idea sought to be conveyed is that the disagreement is the outcome of r ciprocal jealousy. While that is likely, it is not a necessary, or even fa philosophical, inference. Two of a trade may easily see reasons for an honest difference of opinion to which the outsider is blind. Again two of a trade may agree and both be wi a point, of course, connected with their own industry. Some years ago there was high debate over the question whether a painting exhibited in Paris, was an original Velasquez oracopy. Half the artists and connoisseurs in Europe got hot under the collar about it, It was one or the other—so they said. Later on the fact came out. It was neither an original nor a copy; it was a replica. The experts were mistaken. And so runs speculative judgment in everything, Here is the case of two doctors; both, doubtless, competent men. If they were wrong, of if only one was wrong,—but let us have the story first. It comes from a repute able source, and is well corroborated.
"Tu March, IS91," says the relater, "I had " severe attack' of influenza, which prostrated me for two month: er this I could not get was poor, and eat gave much pain at the chest and around the heart. Sharp, cutting pains in the region of the heart seized me every now and again, some-imes so bad I feared I was going tu dic. At I got little or no sleep on account of wind, which rose into my throat, until I fairly gasped for breath. During the painful attacks of my complaint perspiration would stand in beads upon my fa soon lost strength to that extent I could not stand, Indewl, I was weak asa child. I was often so dizzy I had to catch hold of something to keep myself from falling. Several times these attacks have come upon me at concerts, obliging my friends to conduct me home, As time passed on I grew more and more feeble and abandoned all hope of ever being well and strong again.
"Thad fo doctors attending me who prescribed medicines; which, hw ver, eased me only for a time and then I was as bad as ever.
"One doctor said pleurisy; the other said I had heart disease.
"For two and one-half years I lingered along, ne: rly as much dead as alive. all my relatives and friends thinking I would not recover. In November, 1893, a book was left at my hou-e in which I read of a case like mine having been cured by Mothec Seigel's Syrup. "My wife procured me bottle from the Pro Drug Stores in Westgate Street, and the first bottle gave me so much relief that I continued with the medicine. I could then eat well and the food agreed with me; the pain around the heart soon ceasing.
"Tu a short time my strength returned and I got back to my work well and vigorous. Since then 1 have been in the best of health. You are at liberty to publish this statement and refer to me."—(Sigued) William Henay Jervis, 48, Rendlesham Road, All Saints, Ipswich, November 13th, 1897.
One of Mr. Jervis' doctors pronounced his complaint to be pleurisy; the other "aid it was hi cart disease. Were they both right, or both wrong? Or was one right and the other wrong? In the latter case—which one? Judging from the symptoms as set forth by Mr. Jervis the probability is that both were right—as far as they went.
the sac or bag which surrounds the heart (called the pericardium), and the sac in which the lungs rest (called the pleura), are parts of the lymphatic system; which is the especi ial abiding place and stamping ground of the kind of poison, produced by tke diseased digestive system, and the cause of rheumatism, gout, pleurisy, and heart disease. Now, after (if not before) his attack of influenza Mr. Jervis suffered from acute dyspepsia with torpid liver, which engendered the poison that set up a mild form of both pleurisy and heart disorder. When the real and underly. ing ailment of all—the dyspepsia—was cured by Mother Seigel's Syrup these xupplementary or consequential troubles vanished, as might be expected.
So we see that—strange as it may seem—two of " trade can differ and both be right, (8) 8, 15 and 22my 240, fAiscellancous Entelligence.
