Mase., V. S. HIS LEGS AND HIS BUSINESS. OF late years especially, the writer's sympathies have particu arty gone out to all those persons who work it a stand- ing position, who earn their money, as one may say, perpendicularly. As the same wages I should vastly prefer to be the driver of an omnibus rather than the conductor.' Still, we can't have our own way in these matters, and so it comes to pass that a large proportion of our fellow labourers must have good legs or they are done for. 'Their hoods may be sound and clear as eve,', but if their legs can- not be depended on for ti n or a dozen hours a day, there is trouble right on the spot -possibly a good job lost. We shall see presently why a full de- gree of strength in that part of his body was of supreme importance to Mr. Hi my Cogin ; as indeed it is to a host of people you see every day. "In the autumn of 1687," he says, "my health began to fail me, I felt as if I had no energy. I was weak and good for nothing. I could not make out what had come over me, as before this I had always been healthy and strong. "At first I had a foul taste the mouth and no desire for food. After eating I had an aching pain at the chest and back. Somewhat later I was taken with muscular pain in the shoulders and could not litt my left arm up. 'Then I became so weak that my Laos 'ro'r'rER' ED UNDER ME AN I HID DIFFICULTY IN AT,. TENDINO TO MY BU.INEsS." \ explained Vha we have that Mr. f n Cogin is a hairdresser the pertinency of this observation will be obvious. A hairdresser who cannot stand firmly and move easily is a hairdresser in danger of losing his customers. 'Thatour friend should have been anxious on this point goes without saying.] "I lost a deal of sleep," he continues, "and felt no better for going to bed. In this wretched state I remained month after month. At last I read about Moth• er Seigel's Curative Syrup and got a bottle from Mr. Davis, the chemist at Pentre (1 was living in the Rhondda Valley at the time). "After taking this medicine a few clays my appetite returned and food caused in.; no pain. So kept on using it, and after I hid consumed four bot, ties I was cured. I. could eat anything and felt strong as ever. Since that time I haveailed nothing. You can make any use you like of this statement. (Signed!
