can be traced more or less directly to rheu
matte causes. In its chronic form it stiffens
the joints, contracts the muscles, undermines
the health and ruins the life. 1t frequently at

. 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 authorizes sent letters of lnqniry
from Washington to the leading practicine
physicians Of the land and these inquiries were
responded to quite generally, thus furnishing
data OF great valne to science and mankind.
The views held by the doctors are off 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
rhuematism, and that it is only by removing
this poisonous acid that rheumatic Or neural .
glc troubles in all their terrible forms can be
cured. This being true, the important ones

acid get into the blood, and how can it best be

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 DEPART
ed but the disease has remained, lying subtly
concealed and ready to break out at some un-
expected 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, com
plete cure would be the result The way.

acid before it assumes an infiammatery or
chronic form is by keeping the kidneys in alb.

present time, the only known preparation that
acts so directly upon the kidneys as to effect

The theory of the doctors as above explain
ed 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 the 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. Many of these persons had the
very worst possible symptoms. Vague aches
in different portions Of the body were followed
by agonies the most intense in some particu-
lar spot. Acute and throbbing pains succeed
ed each other and the coursing poisonous acid
inflamed all the veins. Troubles which begin
with slight disorders increased to derange-
ments the most serious. 1t is sad to think
that all this suffering was endured when it
could have been so easily relieved. Acting
upon the theory and using the remedy above
mentioned the kidneys could have been restor-
ed to their ususal yigor, the uric poison expel-
ed from the system, the Inflammation removed
and the pain entirely banished.
These are some of the real and scientific
facts regarding rheumatism, attested by the
highest authority and they are. beyond ques-
ton, the only correct ones ever brought forth.
We are aware they are advanced ideas, but
ten years hence they will be the accepted be-
lief and practice of the world. If people suf-
fer from rheumatic troubles in the future and
with these plain truths before them, they GER
tainly can blame no one but themselves,
