HOW DID THE THIEF GET IN ? You wake tip some morning and miss your watch, your purse, your best clothe 3 and other valuables. Yet neither you nor any member of your family heard a sound during the night. Neither is there a sigrrof 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 a dog and a shot gun. You will let thieves Know they must'nt come fooling around your premises after this. A sensible procedure. Meanwhile your watch, your money, Ac, are gone. Quite so. Now suppose I 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 in it; never had been out of it till he went off with your things, albeit not a soul of you had ever Been or heard of him. What would you Bay to me ? You would call me an idiot and threaten to have me sent back to the asylum. But don't be too sure. " Later on," says Mr Heakin, " rheumatism struck into my system and I 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 I got worse and feeling anxious, returned hoaae." 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 ailment. It does its cruel and body-racking work in every country and climate. No other malady causes so vast an aggregate of suffering and 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 a bullet or a knife might strike into it ? No Rheumatism is a thief who steals away our comfort and strength ; but it is a thief, as I said, who Here is our very good friend Mr Richard Heakin, of Fentervin, Salop, who expresses an opinion in this line. Let us have his exact words. He says: "Rheumatism struck into my system." Of course we understand that he speaks after the manner of men. You know we talk of being " at* tacked " by this, that, and the other com* plaint, as though diseases were like soldier! or wild beasts. " Doesn't make any odds," do you say ? Beg pardon, but it does — heavy odds. For it ttache* us to look m th» wrong dirt ctim for dtowjwv Ooyoasw now? Thirteen years ago, in the spring of 1880, whilst working in tho Roman Gravel Lead Mines, Mr Heakiq took a bad cold. He got ovwr the cold, but not over what followed it. fie was feeble, without appetite, and had a deal of pain in the chest and sides. His eyes and skin were tinted yellow, and his handa 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 tlie premises. In other words, it is one — and only one — of the direct conse- ' quences of indigestion and dyspepsia. And this is the why and wherefore : Indigestion creates a poison called uric aoid ; this aoid combine! with the chloride of fodium to
