HUMAN BAROMETER.
The Real Relation Between the human
Body and the Weather seientiheaHE
Explained.
rscientinc American ]


Ono of the most valuable develop
yOents of modern science afOng the line
of human necessity is the National
weather Bureau at Washington, EN-
Derience has shown that elghty-slX per
cent of the predictions OF the signal
service are accurate; and these predle-
tiOns are unQuestiOnably OF the greatesI
advantage to the seaman, the agrlcul-
turist and the entire. commerclal WOriu.
The service has proven lts necessary py
its usefulness, for in past times the Ia
rilities for fOTetelllng atmospheric
changes were meagTe indeed. The 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 relation
between the human system ana the
weather. The body is unquestlOnably
an excellent barometer. IL tOretells
changes in the atmosphere long before
they occur, and this fact has been taken
advantage of by physicians VINO, Mhen
all other agencies fail, prescribe a
change of air, thus hoping the body
may find an atmospheric cOndltlOh Det,
ter suited to its needs. And yet Ine real
relation between the human body ana
the weather has never been fully under

now, correct explanation OF what
rheumatism (Which seems in League
with the atmosphere really Is. IL was
originally thought by many 10 DC
trouble in the joints, and as such was
treated in the most strange, not TO say,
ridiculous manner. This theory De
came dispelled when the same tFouOle

found to be too narrow, and now 1T Is
universally conceded that rheumatism is
q blood disease. And what terrible
disease it is, 1t often comes without
warning and prOstTates the system with
agony. Again its beginning is gradual,
and its growth slow. In Its acute form
it manifests itself in every conceivable
shape and always accompanied .oy IN
tense pain. At one time 1t IS lnham-
matory, at another neuralgia. Some
times it assumes the form of gout, and
again that of pleurisy or lumbago; but
in whatever manner 1T appears III Is
terribly painful and always to be
dreaded. The pain and annoyance Of
rheumatism are increased by its great
danger for it is liable to attack the
brain or heart at any moment, thereby
causing instant death. Indeed, nearly
every case of heart disease with all It's
dreadful suddenness which has ever Oc-
Cured, can be traced more or less d.
Tectly to rheumatic causes. In lts
chronic form it stiffens the joints, con
tracts the muscles, undermlnes the
health and ruins the,liie. 1t frequently
attacks men and women who are appar-
emily in perfect health. Indeed, 1t 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 1T is
only within the past year that any de-
cisiOn upon the subject has been
reached. In order to fully determine
what the cause of rheumatic disorders
really was, certain authorities sent let
tGTs of inquiry from Washington to the
leading practicing physicians of the
sDOnded to quite generally, thus furn-
ishing data of great value to science
and mankind. The views held by the
doctors are of varied nature, but so
overwhelming proportion hold to one
belief as to leave but little doubt that
it is the correct one. This belief,
briefly stated, is that uric acid in the
blood causes rheumatism, and that 1t IS
only by removing this poisonous acid
that rheumatic or neuralgia troubles in
all their terrible forms can be cured.
This being true, the important question
arises: 'HOw does this poisonous uric
acid get into the blood, and how can it
best be remOYed?" Uric acid is waste
material of the body which the kidneys
should carry out, but because they are
weakened 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

No one whose kidneys are in a perfect
condition was ever troubled with
rheumatism, and no rheumatic sufferer,
however slight the pain may be, has
perfect kidneys. The conclusion of
this proof is inevitable: perfect kidneys
mean freedom from rheumatism.
When rheumatism has manifested it.
self in any special part of the body, at
temptS have usually been made to treat
that part of the body. As result, the
pain has departed but the disease has
remained, lying subtly concealed and
ready to break out at some unexpected
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 ex-
pei this rank and poisonous acid before
form is by keeping the kidneys in abso-
Lutte health. This is nc 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 a tropical plant, previously
but little known to science and un-
known to medicine, possessed marvel
Gus qualities adapted for the kidneys.
These leaves have been skillfully COM
bined in the remedy now known as
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
1t is, up to the present time, the only
known preparation that acts so directly
upon the kidneys as to effectually cure
the various dangerous forms of kidney
disease, and hence remove all uric acid
from the blood. As result, the cures
1t has been the means of performing
are really very remarkable. Indeed,
there are thousands of persons ia Amer
lea to-day who owe their restoration to
health and entire freedom from rheum-
atism to this simple yet powerful rem
edy, which is known universally, man
ufactured in Rochester, N. Y, and sold
in every drug store in the land.
