Increased by the inactivity OF the ca

Assuming the correctness of this view
the following conclusion IS cIeariy ae
ductlbie from 1t, nancy, that to releV.
or cure case OF rheumatism we shoul.
seek, first, to prevent the formation o.
the poison by correcting the impaired
digestion, and, second, to stimulate tni
skin, bowels and kidneys, that they
may throw 1t off, or, In other word
we must try to purify the blood. Out
ward applications, although they may
and do, mollify pain at certain intiam
ed spots, cannot, in the nature of thing,
eradicate the cause OF the disease.
The following case illustrates It'll,
truth of this theory, and should be at
tentlvely studied by all who are al
tilcled with govt and rheumatism--th,
two ailments being, under differen,
names, practically the same thing.
sixteen years ago had an attack
of rheumatic govt which affected all my
joints, giving me intense pain. M
hands, feet and shoulders were puffeo
up and swollen, and for many weeks i
suffered martyrdom. After this | wa
from time to time subject to rheuma
tism, which moved about my system,
sometimes appearing in one part anG
then in another. For five years / sui
fered like this.
I'm the autumn of 1855, whilst in the
employ of doctor at Bayswater, a.
coachman, my eyes became affected.
and | was almost blind, not being able
to see either the numbers or names OF
the streets / drove along. My eyes
were like a piece of liver, and the doc
tor / was with sent me first to an eye
specialist, and afterwards gave me a
note and | went to st. Mary's Hospital
Paddington, where | was attended as an
outdoor patient for nine months.
Il was so bad / had to give up my
employment. The doctors at the hos
pital made thorough examination o
my eyes and said they were sound, and
that my affection was caused by the
rheumatic govt. They gave me medi
cines and drops for the eyes; also
placed blisters behind the ears and on
the temples, but l was little better for
ANYTHING.
Some days l was better and then
worse, and | feared / should lose my
sight altogether. In July. 1886. my
brother came to London on visit, and
urged me to try Mother Seigels Syrup,
as he thought it would drive the rheu-
matism out of my system. got bot
tie of this medicine from Whiteley's, In
Westbourne Grove, and after taking
two bottles l was wonderfully better.
My sight returned, and / felt better of
myself. When had taken sir bottles /

Mr.. Parker is a respectable man and
worthy OF implicit confidence He Is
now In the employ of Mr.. Whitley. the
famous purveyor of whom he bought
Mother Seigel's Syrup In the time OF his
necessity. The cure Ia certainly re-
markable. and demonstrates the truth
Of the proposition. now admitted by the
highest medical authorities, that rheu-
matism Is a disease of the blood, caus-
ed. at the root of 1t. by chronic dyspep-
sia and indigestion. Mother Selgel's
Syrup being the most successful medi
cine In the world for all ailments of the
digestion, consequently prevents the
further formation of the rheumatic
poison. expels II from the places where
L has produced inflammation In the
body. and hence cures rheumatism. .'he
'eader will note that 1t is now ten genrs
'ince Mr.. Parker's recovery. during
which period he has had no RELAPSE.
Therefore the cure was real and radical.
