HOW DID THE THIEF GET IN 3?

You wake up some morning and miss
your watch. your purse, your best clothe:
and other yaiuables Yet neither you mol
any member of your family heard SOUND
during the night. Neither is there a sign Of
how the thief got into the house. ror by
what rosd he decamped. Yo:. rush round
and tel tn. police. and also decide TO keep
dog and d shot gun. You will let thieves
know they mustn't come fooling around
your premises after his. A sensible pro.
cedure. Meanwhile your watch. your
money, etc. are gone. Quite so.
Now suppose | should tell you that the
thief who stole your property never entered
your house at all; that he was born i'll it
had lived twenty years in it; never had
been ,ut of it till he went off with your
things, albeit not soul of you had eveI
seen or heard of him. What would you say
10 me You would call me IN idiot and
threaten to have me sent back to the asy-
um. But don't be too sure.
Later on" say Mr.. Heakin. g rh u
matism struck INFO ny system and had
pains all over me. | was confined to my
bed for three months with 1t al could not
dress myself. In this ge eral condition
continued for five years. One after another
| was treated by fourteen doctors i'll that
time. but their medicines did me- little or
no good. AT one time l went 10 the mfr
mary at Shrewsbury, where they treated
me for heart disease; but | got worse, and,
feeling anxious, returned home"
How he vas final y cured we will men,
ton in minute. First. however, about
his rheumatism. Every intelligent person
knows that rheumatism and govt tits twin
brother) is virtually universal ailment
1t does its cruel aud body-rackiug work In
every country and climate. M other
malady causes so vast an aggregate of SUI
fering and disability. Whatever will cure
it is worth more money in England than a
goo mine IN every country.
But does rheumatism - strike into the
system as bullet or knife might strike
into it ? No, Rheumatism is thief who
steals away our comfort and strength; but
it is a thief, as L said, who is born on the
premises. In other words, it is one-and
only one-of the direct consequences of in
digestion and dyspepsia. Aud this is the
why and wherefore: Indigestion creates a
poison called uric acid; this acid combines
with the chloride of 5, dunn to form salt
this salt is urate OF sodium, which is de-
posted in the fo IN Of sharp crystals in the
muscles and joints. Then comes infiam-
nation and agony. otherwise rheumatism.
Thus YOU perceive that it doesn't come
from the outside, but from the in 'ide-from
the stomach. Our friends cold. caught in
the mine, didn't produce his rheumatism,
it clogged his skin and so kept all the poi
son in his body instead of letting part of it
out
Here is our very good friend Mr.. Richard
Heskin, of Pentervin, Saiop, who expresses
an opinion In this liue. Ii us have his
exact words. He says: 50 Rheumatism struck
into my system" OF course We understand
that be speaks after the manner of men.
You know We talk OF being ' attacked by
this. that and the other complaint, as
though diseases were like soldiers or wild
beasts D"esn't make any odds. d you
say? BEG pardon but 1t d"es-heavy o IDS
Fo, 1t teaches as to look ia the icroRg direction
fo,. danger. Do you see now?
Thirteen years ago, in the spring of 1880,
whilst working in the Roman Gravel Lead
Mines. Mr.. s1eakin took a bad cold. He
got owes the cold, but not over what fol-
lowed it He was feeble, without appetite,
and had deal of pain in the chest and
sites. His eyes and skin were tinted yell
low. ana his hands and leet We're cold and
clsmmy Frequently be would break out
into a cold perspirstiOn, as man does on
receiving a nervous shock caused by some-
thii fearful or horrible. he was also
troubled with pain in the heart and had
spells of difficult breathing-what medical
men call asthma.
Mr. Heakin adds. +" l was cured at last
by Mother Seigel's Curstive syrup, and
without it believe 1 should have been dead
long ago
VERY likely. very likely; for this thief,
aithn Oh ne NAV wait long FIR his oppor-
tunty. isn't always satisfied to run away
with our C. mfort and our money; he often
takes life too.
