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 m overcoming the frietich of it own partß. .Hence inventors are constantly testing < erices to reduce frictitn. Vat they can never overcome it j and the ret-i?tante created by is rppreaents power (.ind hence expenso also) absolutely iosi Now (he human body is a machine propelled by heat, exactly as an engine ia ; aid anything that retards it may be considered as friction. Very good, then. Yon have noticed great differenc a in your own vigour. Some days you work s asiSy, and on others with difficulty, Thu. '■a ko witefcher yoy are chi< fly a ifuraclaworker or a buahi-worker ; or a mixture •. f both—as most peopie are. <scc-ision- - liy you are able to do more work ma day than at other times you can d<> in three.

What wouldn't lawyers, au'hors, clergy, taorij and all other brain-workervs give for si.instiling having tho power to keep lheir nvuds clear and strong ? Or Ixdy-workers tor something that would prevent aching, •.vi<akm.s9, and fatigue ? Do Ikn >w wha? ; will do it? No, i don'c. If I did I oouid retail the secret for more money vhnu ia stowed away in the Bank cf England, But. Ido know on* thing, and will tell it to you in a minute—for nothing. First, however, we will talk of Mr J B, Goss and the faction he tried so long o overcome. Mr Goss ia a large farmer living at Stradsett, near Downham Market Norfolk, and is well known in his dis trict. When the farmers meet on market days he often epeaks of his experience j and how he came out of it. In order to cover it all h« has to go back fifteen years—to about., 1878. At chat 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 condition. His work became less a pleasure and more cnl 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 thlngp to make a man ask what can the reason be?

He had a well-provided tabl«, of course ; J yet he often sat down to his meals and couldn't touch a morsel. Mr Gobs kpew that this would never do. If a man expects to live, he must eat. There are no two ways about that. So he ate more or less—although nob much—without the stimulus of an appetite; he forced it dbwa, as 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 ''s properly settled. Thus it ended tn his having great pun and tightness at his sides and chest. ' I was constantly belching up a sour fluid,' he says, * which ran out of my mouth like vinegar, I had a horrible sensation ac 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 tha time being.

♦ In, the early part of 1863 I heard of a medicine which was said to do good in cases like mine. Whether it would help me of course I had no idea, After so many things have failed, one natural y has no faith in a new one, Yet I got a supply and began with it. In a short time it was plain that 1 had come up n the real remedy at last. My food agroed with me, and soon all pa n and diatrecs gradually left me. Since then (now ttn years ago) I have kept in tha best ot health, It I or any of my family ail anything, a dose of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrnp—the medicine that cured me— soon sets ns right. We have no need of a doctor. (Siejned) J. B. Goss, March 24ih, 1893.'

Mr Goss once said that if Seigal's Syrnp cost 203 a bootle he would not ba without ifc In his house. We can ea'ly beliave him. Considering what ifc did for hfm — and does for others—it would be cheap it any price. Ye=i, like plenty of frbi gs of tha highest practical value, it costs bat little. The reader can imagine under what difficulty and friction Mr Goes must have done what work he did during those fire years' suffering with indigestion end dyspepsia. This then, we know ; that life's friction and loas of power corns chiefly from that single disease, and chat ease arises from the use 0! Seigel's greab discovery.
