CURES RHEUMATISM Every case of Rheumatism has its origin and its development in the blood. It is not a disease wh:ch is contracted like a cold, but it is in the blood and system before a pain is felt, and the changes in the weather or any physical irregularities, such as a spell of indigestion, bowel disturbance etc., are merely the exciting causes producing the pains and aches which are the natural symptoms of the disease. Rheumatism is caused by au excess of uric acid and other corrosive, irritating poisons in the blood, which are carried through the circulation to every part of the system. Every muscle, nerve, membrane, tissue and joint becomes saturated with these acrid, irritating impurities, or coated with fine, insoluble caustic matter and the sharp, piercing pains or the dull, constant aches are felt with every physical movement. When t*ie blood is filled with uric acid poison perma nent relief cannot be expected from liniments, plasters, or other external treatment. Such measures give temporary relief, but in order to conquer Rheumatism and bring about a CARLOAD OF CORPSES. Over 4,600.000 Bales Consumed in the United States Last Year.
