HOW DID THE THIEF GET IN ?

You wake up some morning and miss
your watch. your purse, your best clothes
and other valuables. Yet neither you nor
any member of your family heard sound
during the night. Neither is there sign OF
how the thief got into the house, nor by
what road he decamped. You rush round
and tell the police. and also decide to keep
dog and shot gun. You will let thieves
know they mustn't come fooling around
your premises after his. 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 in it
had lived twenty years III it; never had
been cut of it till he went off with your
things albeit not a soul of you had ever
seen or heard of him. What would you say
TO ne You would call me IN idiot and
threaten to have me sent back to the asy-
Ium. But don't be too sure.
f" Later on" says Mr.. heakin. rheu-
matism struck inio H,y system and | had

no good. At one time went 10 The mfr

How he was finally cured we will mem
tiOn III minute. First. however. about
his rheumatism. Every intelligent person
knows that rheumatism and govt tits win
brother) is virtually a universal ailment
1t does its cruel aud body-racking work in
every country and climate. No other
malady causes SO vast an aggregate OF SUI
fering and disability. Whatever will cure
it is worth more money in England than a
god mine In every country.
But does rheumatism Z" strike into" the
system as bullet or knife might strike
into IT No, Rheumatism is a 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 aud dyspepsia. And this is the
why and wherefore: Indigestion creates
poison called uric acid; this acid combines
with the chloride Of s. dunn to form salt;
this salt is urate of sodium, which is de-
posted In the TO II uf 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,
il 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, oalOp. who expresses
an opinion IN this line. Let US have his
exact words. He says" Rheumatism struck
into my system" o. course We understand
that he speaks after the manner Of men.
You know we talk OF being " attacked " by
this, that and the other complaint, as
though diseases were ike soldiers or wild
beasts" Doesn't make any odds" do you

Thirteen years ago. in the spring of 1850.
whilst working in the ROmsn Gravel Lead
Mines, Mr.. neakin took bad cold. He
got over the cold, but not over what fol-

and had deal OF pain in the chest and
sizes. His eyes and skin were tinted yell
low. and his hands and feet were cold ana

troubled with pain in the heart and had
spells of difficult breathing-what medical
men call asthma.
Mr. Heakin adds. - was cured at last
by Mother Seigei's Curative syrup, and

Very Likely. very likely; for this thief,
altho gh he may wait long for his oppor-
tunity. isn't always satisfied to run away
with our comfort and our money; he often
takes life too.
