ONE TASTE IS ENOUGH.
The writer never had a taste of rheumatism but once —about four years ago it was—and it laid me up and made me groan for six weeks. And I am not praying for any more, I can get a heartload now. just by thinking how it felt, But, oh, what a lot ot folk catch it worse than I did. .Here is Mrs Annie Hill, she is one of them.

It was awful and 1 didn’t know what the end of it was going to be. Now and then I was completely prostrate.
“We hunted everywhere for a cure, and I tried medicines, uniil the empty bottles in the louse iallied wherever you put your hand out; a'l to no earthly good. We stent money and spoiled hopes and that’s the,story. “ At last I saw an advertisement of how Mother Seigel’s fryrup had cured a man of rheumatism and other ailments-just like mine. He told ihe tale himself, t as I sun telling this, I will try it— so I said to myself. “ It acted splendidly, and I kept on with it until I was entirely well. It cured my rheumatism, my indigestion, and ray liver com* plaint—all in a bunch Sometimes 1 bought the S’liip by the half dozen in order to get it a little cheaper
