[From a testimony following an ad­ dress on "Mistakes at Meal-time. "J "I know there is something that should be recognized in this question. 1 liad been drinking whiskey tor twelve years. 1 bad tried innumerable ways to tight it and overcome it, but it seemed to be practically impossible. Lust fail 1 came to Chicago to see some friends and during that stay 1 didn't drink liquor and had no desire for any, but they Ui-ed neither coffee nor tea. They gave me a kind of cereal coffee, and when I went back to Sonth Bend I did not seem to have the old craving desire for wins- key. Now I didn't know if it wap the blessed influence of this Mission that had taken away from lue the appetite »nd desire for drink. I was puzzled, for I have never received the spiritual experience here that others had, but the appetite and desire had disappeared, and for five straight months 1 had n > desire to drink. I have kept silent abont my own experience because 1 was afraid that I might say something that would discourage those who were making progress spiritually. I love to set' men go on and on. and I say "G.-d bless you, though I may have to .<ta\ out ' But I am going to give you rht* f nit of mv experience A week ago last niUht I had to change mv boarding place, and I had to either drink coffee or water, and 1 said: 'Well, I gut-c I'll take a drink of coffee.' Do yon know, that cap of coffee cost me thir * dollars and a gold watch and '• •Inst that one cup >f coffee I got that rnp of coffee and went back to wors in the afternoon, and I was not at w >rk !• r two hour* before the old irresistible craving came on and I went on a good solid drnnk.

The poor patient, and the rich patient, too, can do mnch better at borne by proper attention to food diges­ tion aud a regular use of German Syrup. Free expectoration in the morning if- made certain by German Syrup, so is a good night's rest and the absence ol that weakening cough and debilitating night sweat. Restless nights and ihe exhaustion rine to coughing, the great­ est dinger and^dread' of the consump­ tive, can be prevented or stopped by taking German Syru > liberally and reg­ ularly. Should you be able to go to a warmer clime, you will find that of the thousands of consnmptives there, the few who are benefited and regain strength are those who use Germ m Syrup.
