RHEUMATISM
livery case of Rheumatism has its origin and its development in the
blood. It is not a disease which 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 an
excess of uric acid and other corrosive, irritating poisons in the blood, which
are carried through the circulation to every part of the system. Everv
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 -very
physical movement. When ttie blood is filled with uric acid poison oerma-
nent relief cannot be expected from liniments, plasters, or other external
treatment. Such measures give temporary relief, but in order to conquer

cures Rheumatism because it is a
perfect and entirely vegetable blood
purifier. It goes down into the
circulation, neutralizes the acids,
and dissolves the irritating depos
its which are pressing on the sensi
tive nerves and tissues and produc
ing pain, enriches the weak, sour
blood, and removes every atom of
impurity from the circulation. So
instead of being a weak, sour
stream, distributing uric acid to the
different parts of the system, the
blood is strong and healthy and
therefore able to supply every mus
cle, nerve, bone and tissue with nourishment and strength. Then the itifl.m-
mation and swelling subside, the pains and aches cease, and not onljr.s
