A HUMAN BAROMETER.
The Real Relation Between the HUI

tifically Explained.
Scientific American.


man necessity 10 the National Weather
Bureau at Warrington. Experience has
shown that eighty-six per cent. of the
predictions OF the signal service are &C
curate; and these predictions are unques
tionably of the greatest advantage to the
seamen, the agriculturist and the entire
commercial world The service has prov
en- it's necessity BY its usefulness, for in
past times the facilities for foretelhng at
mospheric changes in the weather we're
aching limbs, twinglng joints or painful
corns These indications" though crude,
were usually correct, and hence naturally
suggest the enquiry rs to the relation be-
tween the human system and the weather.
The body is upqueslionably an excellent
barometer. 1t foretells changes IN the
atmosphere long before they occur, and
this fact has been taken advantage of by
physicians who, when all other agencies
fail, prescribe change of air, thus hoping |
the body may find an atmospheric condi-
ton better suited to lis needs. And yet
the real relation between the human body |
and the weather has never been fully un- |
derstood, nor has there ever been, until
now, a correct explanation of what rheu
matism (which seems in league with the
, atmospheric really is. 1t was originally
| thought by many to be a trouble IN the
Joints, AMI 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 1t was
purely muscular disorder. But this
idea was found to be too narrow. and now
it is universally conceded that rheumatism
is blood disease. And what terrible
disease it is 1t often comes without warn
ing and proslrates the system with agony.
Again its beginning is gradual and IT'S
growth slow. In its acute form it mani
tests itself in every conceivable shape and
is always accompanied by intense pain. AT
one time il is infammatory, at another
neura'gic. Sometimes it assumes the
form OF govt, and again that of pleurisy
or lumbago; but in whatever manner 1t
appears it is terribly painful and always
to be dreaded. The pain and annoyance
of rheumatism are increased by its great
, danger tor 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 suddenness
which has ever occurred, can be traced
more or less directly to rheumatic causes.
In its chronic form it stitfens the Joints,
; contracts the muscles, undermines the
} health and ruins the life. 1t frequently
f attacks men and women who aye apparent
ly in perfect health. Indeed, it is al
greatly to be dreaded as any possible form
; of physical woe.
