He Could Not Touch His wife's Dinners

So writes our esteemed friend, Mr..
Frank Chambers, of 9 Bennett St.,
Chiswick: "For over two years l suf-
fered agonies from indigestion, and be-
came reduced to q mere shadow of my
stalwart self. l would return home
from my business feeling SO faint that
could hardly drag one leg after the
other; my dear wife did all she posi-
bly, could to tempt me with dainty
dishes, and as l entered the house /
shifted and thought: oh, how good; I
know can eat that But alas! no
sooner had eaten a few mouthfuls,
when felt sick; severe pains shot
through my chest and shoulder blades,
my eyes swan and everything seemed
black. became alternately hot and
cold, and got up from such dainty
dinner heartily sick of living, and feel
ing was sore trial to everybody. l
may mention that was also very much
troubled with scaly skin, and often
bpils. But one evening noticed my
wife seemed more cheerful than usual.
l questioned her and found she had
been reading pamphlet she had re-
ceived, of men afflicted just as l was,
and who had been cured by Vogeler's
Compound. Said she, what gives me
more faith in it is that it is made from
the formula of an eminent physician
now in active practice in the West End
of London, so / am sure it is no quack

tents of the first bottle felt very lnuch
better, and determined to give this
remedy fair trial, and can positive

rheumatism

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation OF
waste matter in the system, and can nc
longer supply the pure and health sustain

feels the effect Of this acid poison: and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to healthy condition will
The aches and pains cease.
