PBICE: ONE PENS*

Tot Even If It Cost Twenty Shillings.

; A notable percentage - about one-third I think -of the power of a steam engine i uaed up in oveio. ruing the fiiation of. it> own parts. Hence inventors are con si antly testing evics-s to reduce friction. Yet they can never ove come it ; and the resistance created by 16 represents power (and hence expense also) absolutely Jos p Now the human body is a machine pro pelled by heat, exactly as an engine is ; ad anything thai retards it may he con sidered at friction. Very good, then. You have noticed great differences in your own vigour. Some days yon work easily, and on others with difficulty. This j ia so whether yoy are chit fly a muscle worker or a bnain-worker j or a mixture of both—aa must people are. Occasion ally you are able to do more work in a day than at other times you can do in three. It is the odds between walking on smooth, hard level ground and drag Ring yourself uphill through wet clay. What wouldn't lawyers, authors, clergy, men, and all other brain*workers give for something having the power to keep their, mmds clear and strong ? Or body-workers for something that would prevent aching, weakness, and fatigue? Do 1 know wfaft will do it? No, I don't. If I did I could retail the secret for More money than is stowed away in the Bank of England, But Ido know one thing, and will tell it to you in a minute-for nothing.

First, however, we will talk of Mr J B. Goes and the fi lotion he tried so long to overcome. Mr Goss is a large farmer living at Stradsett, near Downham Market Norfolk, and is well known in bis dis trict. When the farmers meet on market days he often speaks of his experience and how he came 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 first he merely realised that he was out of con dition. His work became less a pleasure and more m I 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 be gan to disagree, which is a state of thl&g(i to m»ke a man ask what can the reason be?

He had a well-provided table, of course ; yet he often f-aK down to hii meals and couldn't touch a morsel. Mr Gos* knew that this would never do. If a man ex pects to live, be muyt eat. There are no two ways about that. So he ate more or less —although nor. much—without the stimulus of an appetite; he forced it d-jwti, as you may say. But this wouldn't do either. When tO6 stormch goss on strike it, can't be whipped into working before: the question at issuo ; s properly settled. Thus it ended iv his having groat pdn and tightness at his sidos an i chect. ' I was constantly belching up scour fluid,' he says, * which ran out of my nnuth ike vinegar, I had a horrible sensation a. 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 five years, no medicine or medical treatment doing more than to abate some of the worst symptoms for the time being.

* In the early part of 1863 I heard of a medicine which was said to do good in caseß like mine. Whether it would help me if course I had no idea. After so many things have failed, one natural?y his no faith in a new one. Yet X gob a supply and began with it. In a short time it was plain that I had come up n the real remedy at last. My food agreed with me, and soon all pa'ia and distress gradually left me. Since then (now ten ysars ago) I have kept in the best of health, It I or any of my family ail any thing, a dose of Mother oeigel'B Curative Syrnp—the medicine that cured me— soon sets us right. We have no need of a doctor. (Signed) J, B. Goss, March 24 h, 1893.'

Mr Gt>3o once said that if Selgel's Syrop cost 20a a bootle he would noc be without it in his house. We can eaily believe him. Considering what it did for him — and does for others—id would be cheap at any price. Yes, 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.

i'his then, we know • that life's friction and loss of power come chiefly from that single disease, and that ease arises from the use of Selgel's great discovery.
