IF any man ever made a sauce that was as good as LEA & PERRINS', you can be sure he would not imitate the appearance of the latter. Yet practically every "Worcestershire" sauce tries to imitate the appearance of the original.

The very fact that it has to imitate the Lea & Perrins label and bottle, amounts to a declaration of its own inferiority. But for all that, thousands of people still say "Worcestershire" when they mean "Lea & Perrins." Do you?

RHEUMATISM,

LUMBAGO & SCIATICA.

Rheumatism, Lumbago and Sciatica are three of the most common and most 'painful complaints and practically arise from the same cause and the names only distinguish the location of the disease. If the arms and legs are affected it is called Rheumatism; if in the Loins, Lumbago; and in the hip, Sciatica. The attacks are generally brought on by chills when the body is overheated, or by exposure to

dampor cold droughts, which act, not upon the bones or muscles but upon the Uric Acid in the Blood, which is the cause of the discase. The failure of the Laver and Kidneys to filter and absorb this Acid Teads to an accumulation in the system. tends to clog the circulation and harden the tissues forming the blood vessels Thus every movement of the affected parts causes you intense agony. The pains vard affected more or less by cold or heat. A damp day will double you up, or the warmth of the bed will intensify the pain, Rheumatism is generally regarded as one of the most difficult ailments to cure, and invariably medicines are tried simply with the hope of temporary relief. Dr. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS have been wonderfully successful A sudden twiigeef þain.
