A HUMAN BAROMETER.
Tho Real Relation Between the Human
Body and the Weather Scien-
tifcally Explained.


One Of the most valuable developments Of
modern science slong the line OF human ne
cessity Is the National Weather Bureau at
Washington. Experience has shown that
eighty-six per cent of the predictions of the
signal service are accurate and these predic-
tions are unquestionably Of the greatest adj
vantage to the seaman, the Agricultural and
the entire commercial world The service has
proven its necessity by its usefulness, for in
past times the facilities for foretelling atmos-
pheric changes were melger indeed. Tho only
Indications our fathers had Of coming changes
in the weather were aching limbs, twinging
Joints or painful corns. These indications"
though crude, were usually correct, and hence
naturally suggest the inquiry as to the rcla-
tion between the human system and the
weather. The body is unquestionably an ex-
cellent barometer. IL foreells changes in the
atmosphere long before they occur and this
fact has been taken advantage OF by ply
sicans who, when all other agencies fail pre-
scribe change Of air, thus hoping the body
may find an atmospheric condition better
suited to its needs And yet the real relation
between the human body and the weather has
never been fully understood, nor has there
ever been, until now, correct explanation OF
what rheumatism (Which seems In league
with the atmosphere) really is. 1t was
originally thought by many to be trouble
in the Joints, and as such was treated in the
most strange, not to say ridiculous, manner
This theory became dispelled whe the same
trouble attacked the muscles, and the feeling
then prevailed thatit was apurey muscular dis
order. But this idea was found to be too mar
row, and now it is universally conceded that
rheumatism is a blood disease. And what a
terrible disease it is. 1t often comes without
warning and prostrates the system with
| agony. Again its beginning is gradual, and
its growth slow. In its acute form it mani
| tests itself in every conceivable shape and al
ways accompanied by intense pain. At one
| time it is iniiamnatory at another neuralgia.
| Sometimes 1t assumes the form OF govt and
| again that of pleursy or lumbago; but in
| whatever manner it appears 1t IS terribly
| painful and always to be dreaded The
! pain and annoyance of rheumatism are
increased by its great danger, for it is
any moment thereby causing instant death.
! Indeed, nearly every case of heart dis
ease, with all its dreadful suddenness
which has ever occurred, can be traced more
| or less directly to rheumatic causes In its
chronic form it stiffens the joints contracts
the muscles undermnes the health and ruins
the life. 1t frequently attacks men and
women who are apparently in perfect health.
| Indeed, 1t is as greatly to be dreaded as any
poss BILE form of physical woe.
But, however severe its effects may be, the
exact cause of this blood trouble has Teen an
undecided question, and it is only within the
| past year that any decision upon the subject
! has been reached In order to fully determine
was, certain authorities sent letters of inquiry
| from Washington to the leading practicing
| physicians of the land, and these inquiries
were responded to quite generally, thus fur
nishing data Of great value to science and
mankind. The views held by the doctors are
Of varied nature, but so overwhelming q
proportion holds to one belief as to leave but
| little doubt that IL is the correct one. This
| belief, briefly stated, is that uric acid in the
| blood causes rheumatism, and that it is only
by removing this poisonous acid that rheu-
matte or neuralgia troubles in all their terrible
| forms can be cured. This being true, the i'm
! portant question arises: "How does this
| poisonous uric acid get into the blood, and
| how can it best be removedP' Uric acid is a
waste material of the body which the kidneys
should carry out, but because they are weak
ened they cannot throw it from the system.
| Restore the kidneys and YOU restore the power
that will force the uric acid from the system
and thus Danish the rheumatic agonies which
1t causes. This is reason; it is science. No
one whose kidneys are in perfect condition
was ever troubled with rheumatism, and no
rheumatic sufferer however slight the pain
may be, has perfect kidneys. The conclusion
of this truth is inevitable; perfect kidneys
mean freedom from rheumatism.
When rheumatism has manifested itself IN
any special part of the body, attempts have
usually been made to treat that part of the
body. As a result, the pain has departed but
the disease has remained, lying subtIy con
cealed and ready to break out at some unex
pected moment. Checking the pain in any
single locality only scatters the disease
through the system, when, if the seat of the
disorder, which are the kidneys, were reached
complete cure would be the res ult. The
way, therefore, to eXpel this rank and poison
GUS acid before it assumes an infammatory OF
chronic form is by keeping the kidneys in alb
solute health. This is no easy thing to do
and no means has, until within the past few
years, been known which would successfully
reach and affect these great organs At last

leaves of a tropical plant, previously but little
known to science and unknown to medicine
possessed marvellous qualities adapted for thu
kidneys These leaves have been skillfull,
combined in the remedy now known as War
ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. 1t is, upt
the present time, the only known preparation
that acts so directly upon the kidneys as Il
etfectually cure the various dangerous form
of kidney disease, and hence remove all uri,
acid from the blood. AS result, the cures i
has been the means of performing are reall,
very remarkable. Indeed there are thousand
of persons in America to day who owe thei
restoration to health and entire freedom from
rheumatism TO this simple yet powerful RENE
dy, which is known universally, manufactured
in Rochester, n. Y, and sold in every drug
store in the land
