HOW DID THE THIEF GET IN ? Vot; wake up some morning and miss your watch, youi 1 purse, yo«r treat dlothes and other valuables. Yet neither you Ho'r a"ny member of your family heard a sound during tlie nitfbt. Neither is there a sign of how the thief got iiitd the. bouse nor by what road he decamped. You riish round and tell the police, and also decide to keep & dog and a shot gun. You will let thieves KnoW they mtist'nt aome fooling around your premises afW thifl. A Sensible procedure* Meanwhile yotir vf&',ch, yoar money, &c, are gone. Quite so. Now siipptfse I should tell you that the thisf who stole your property never entered your house at all ; that he was born in it ; bad lived twenty years in it ; never had been Out of it till he went off with your things, albeit not a sottl of you had evet Been or hear.! of him. What would you say to me ? You would call me an idiot and threaten to have me sent baok to the asylum. But don't be too sure. 11 Later on/' Bays Mr Heakin, " rheumatism struck into my system and 1 had pains all over me. I was confined to my bed for three months with it and could not dress myself. In this general condition I continued for five years. One after another I was treated by fourteen doctors in that time, but their medicines did me little or no good. At one time I Went to the Infirmary at Shrewsbury* where they treated me for heart disease ; but 1 got worse and feeling anxious, returned home." How he was finally cured we will mention in a minute. First, however, about his rheumatism* Every intelligent person knows that rheumatism and gout (its twin brother) is virtually a universal ailmerit. It does its cruel and body-racking work in every country and climate. No other malady causes so vast an aggregate of suffering arid disability. Whatever will cure it is worth more" money in England than a gold mine in every country. But does rheumatism " strike into " the system as it bullet or a knife might strike into it ? No Eheumatisnl is a thief who steab away our comfort and strength ; but it is a thief, as I said, who Here is our very good friend Mr Richard Heakin, of Pentervin, Salop, who expresses an opinion in thifl line. Let as have his exact words. He says 5 " Rheumatism struck into my system." Of 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 like soldiers or wild beasts. " Doesn't make any odds," do you say ? Beg. pardon, but it does — heavy odds. For it teachte its to look in the wrong direction for danger. Co yoti see now ? Thirteen years ago, in the spring of 1880, whilst working in the Roman Gravel Lead Mines, Mr Heakin took a bad oold. He got dver the Cold, but not over what followed it. He was feeble, without appetite, and had a deal of pain in the chest and sides. His eyes and skin were tinted yellow, and his handß and feet were cold and clammy. Frequently he would break out into a cold perspiration, as a man does on receiving a nervous shock caused by something fearful and horrible. He was also troubled with pain at the heart and had spells of difficult breathing— what medical men call asthma. is born on the premises. In other words, it is one — and only one — of the direct consequences of indigestion and dyspepsia. And this is the why and wherefore i Indigestion creates a poison called uric acid ; this acid combines with the chloride of sodium" to form a salt ; this salt is nrate of sodium, which is deposited in the form of sharp crystals in the muscles and joints. Then conies inflammation and agony, otherwise rheumatism. Thus you perceive that it doesn't come from the outside but from the inside — from the stomach. Our friend's cold, caught in the mine, didn't produce his rheumatism, it dogged his skin and so kept all the poison in his body instead of letting part of it out. Mr Heakin adds : " I was cured at last by Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and without it I believe I should have been dead long ago." Very likely, very likely ; for this thief, although he may wait long for his opportunity, isn't always satisfied to run away with our comfort and our money ; he often takes life too. A STEAM WHISTLE Need not run full blast all the time to let you know that it is heard, and it is not necessary that we should be always advertising by noisy statements to buy " Salsaline," the great food preservative, for once tried always used, as it is the only reliable food preservative sold.

"MAKING BOTH ENDS MEET," is rather a difficult task in life with many but the expense of gosd cooking is rednced to a minimum by using the SUN BAKING POWDER, purer and cheaper than most othei'3. Give it a trial. A SAFE INVESTMENT Of money is the problem of the day, buying " Salsaline '' is a safe investment, for one shilling packet preserves' twenty shillings worth of Milk, Meat, and all such perishable goods, and is odourless and harmless.
