The Real Relation Between the Human
Body and the Weather Scien-
tifcaIly Explained.

ceSSltY 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 agricuIturist and
the entire commercial world. Tie service has
proven its necessity by its usefulness. for in
past times the facilities for foretelling atmos-
pherie changes were meager indeed. The only
indications our fathers had of coming changes
in the weather were aching limbs, twinging
joints or painful corns. These indications 2
though crude, were usually correct, and hence
naturally suggest the inquiry as to the rela-
ton between the human system and the
weather. The body Is unGuestionably an ex-
cellent barometer. It foreteI1s changes in the
atmosphere long before they occur, and this
fact has been taken advantage of by ply
sIcians who, when all other agencies fail, pre-
scribe change of air, thus hoping the body
may lind an atmospheric condition better
suited to its needs. And yet the real relation
between the human body and the weatherha
never been fully understood, nor has there
ever been, until now, a correct explanation of
what rheumatism (which seems in league
with the atmospheric really is. It was
originally thought by many to be a trouble
in the joints, and as such was treated in the
most strange, not to say ridiculous, manner.
This theory became dispelled when the same
trouble attacked the muscles, and the feeling
then prevailed that it was purely muscular dis
prder. But this idea was found to be too mar
row, and now it is universally conceded that
rheumatism Is a D1oOu disease anu Hidb q
terrible disease it is. It 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 BIZ intense pain. At one
time it is inhammatory, at another neuralgia.
Sometimes it assumes the form of govt, and
again that of pleurisy or lumbagO; but in
whatever manner it appears it is terribly
painful and always to be dreaded. The
pain and ANNOYANCE of rheumatism are
fnoraaeaT nv ffa eat for &c
liable to attack the brain or heart at
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, undermines the health and ruins
the life. 1t frequently attacks men and
women who are apparently in perfect health.
Indeed, it is as greatly to be dreaded as any
possible form of physical woe.
But, however severe its effects may be, the
exact cause of this blood trouble has been 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
what the cause of rheumatic disorders really
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
n1shing data Of great value to science and
mankind. The views held by the doctors are
OF varied nature, but so overwhelming
little doubt that it 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 removed" 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.
|
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 &Aght 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 subtly 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 result The
! way, therefore, to expel this rank and poison
/ GUS acid lefore 1t assumes an 1nhammatory or
chronic form is by keeping the kidneys in alb
solute health. This is 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,
however, scientists have discovered that the
! leaves of tropical plant, previously but little
/ known to science and unknown to medicine,
| possessed marvellous qualities adapted for the
| kidneys. These leaves have been sklfully
| combined in the remedy now known as War
ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. 1t is, up to
! the present time, the only known preparation
that acts directly upon the kidneys to
/ effectually cure the various dangerous forms
/ of kidney disease, and hence remove all uric

| very remarkable. Indeed, there are thousands
of persons in America to day who owe their
restoration to health and entire freedom from

| The theory of the doctors as a Rove explained
! finds its confirmation in the fact that when
| the kidneys have been cured, rheumatism is
| completely removed. This is not, of course,
| always accomplished instantly for in a disease
so subtle, the cure is often very slow but I'M
der no other plan can any hope Of permanent
| relief ever be found There are hundreds of
cases on record during he present winter of
persons afflicted with rheumatic troubles of
the worst order who have been entirely cured
BY following the theory above stated and
! using the remedy mentioned. Many OF these
| persons had the very worst possible syInp-
| toms. Vague aches in different portions OF
the body were followed by agonies the most
intense in some particular spot Acute and
| throbbing pains succeeded each other and the
| coursing, poisonous acid infamed all the
| veins. Troubles which began with slight dis
| orders increased to arrangements the most
serious. 1t is sad to think that all this suffer
| ing was endured when it could have been so
| easily relieved. Acting upon the theory and
using the remedy above mentioned the kid
neys could have been restored TO their usual
! vfgor, the uric poison expelled from the sys-
| tenn, the Inflammation removed and the pain
| entirely banished.
