Show that Lie blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too
S uch acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and U1 rs ara
M result of morbid, unhealthy matte*-in the blood, and Rheum.t. a, Ca
tarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood
disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains.
These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood in various ways!
Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the «>stem, and torpid state of the

form uric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and dinributed
throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is
another cause for the poisoning of the blood ; we also breathe the germs and
microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the bl A in
