NOT EVEN IF IT COST TWENTY 'SHILLINGS

A notable percentage—about one-third, I think—of the power of a steam engine is used up in verooming the fiction ofts own pats (ence inventors are constantly testing devices to reduce friction. Yet they can never o come it; and the resistance created by: it represents power (and hence expense also) absolutely lost.

Now the human body is a machine pro-polled by heat, exactly as an engine is; and Apything that retards it may be considered astriction. Very good, then.

You have noticed great differences in own vigour. Some days you work easily. and on others with difficulty. This is 0 whether you are chiefly a muscle-worker or a brain-worker; or a mixture of both—as most people are. Occasionally you are able to do more work ina day than at other times you can do in three. It ie the odds between walking on smooth, hard level ground and dragging yourself uphill through wet clay. What wouldn't lawyers, authors, clergymen, and all other brait-workers give for something having the power to keep their minds clear and strong? Or body-warkers for something that would prevent aching, weakness, and fatigue? Do I know what will do it? No, I don't. If I did I could retail the secret for more money than is stowed away in the ud will tel it you in a minute—for nothing. Bonk of England. But I do know one thing, First, However, we Will talk of Nr. Goss and the friction he tried so long to overcome. Mr, Goss is a large farmer living at and is will known in his district. When the farmers meet on market. days he often speaks of his experience and how he esme. out of it.

In order to cover it all he has to go back fifteen years—to about 1878. At that time he began to feel the signs of some disease which he could neither account for nor understand. At Gret he merely realised that he was out of condition. His work' became and less a pleasure and more and more a task. From his business his thoughts turned upon himself and no man can work well in that form, Then he and his victuals began to disagree, which is a state of things to make a man ask what can the reason be?

He had a well-provided table, of course yet he often sat down to his meals an couldn't touch a morsel, Br. Goss knew that this would never do. If a man expects live, he must eat. There are no two wa about that. So he ate more or less—although not much—without the stimulus of an appetite; he forced it down, us you may say. But this wouldn't do either. When the stomach goes on strike it can't be whipped into working before the question at issue is properly Settled sea tightness at his sides and chest. ""T was Thus intended in his having great pain an' constantly belching up sour fluid," he says." which ran out of my mouth like vinegar. I had a horrible sensation at the stomach for which I was not able to find any relief, For nights together I could get no sleep; and in this general condition I'continued for fice years, n0 medicine or medical treatment doing more than to abate some: of the worst anptoms for the time being.

in the carly part of 1833 I heard of a medicine which was said to do good in cases like mine." Whether it would help" me of course Lh d no idea. After so many things have failed, one naturally has no faith'in a new one. Yet I got a supply and began with it, In a short time it was plain that I had come upon the real remedy at last. My food agreed with me and soon all pain and distress gradually left me. Since then (now ten Ff0"r eHo) T have opt inthe best of healt, dose of Mother Seige!'s Curative Syrup—the of any of my family all anything, 9 medicine that cured. me—soon sets us right. We have no need of a doctor. (Signed) J. B. Goss, March 24th, 1893.

Mr. Gos. once said that if Seigel's Syrup cost 28, a bottle he would not be without it in his house, We-can easily believe him. Considering what it did for him—and does for others—it would be cheap ice, Yet, like plenty of things of the highest practical value, it costs but little. "The reader can imagine under what difficulty and friction Mr. Goss must have done what work he did during those five years' suffering with indigestion and dyspepsia.

This then, we know; that life's friction and loss of power comes chiefly from that single discase, and that case arises from the use of Mother Seigel's great discovery.
