acute form it manifests itself in every conceiv-

pain. At one time it is infiammatory at another

Bur. 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 ord 7 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
responded TO quite generally, thus furnishing
data of great value to science and mankind.
The views held by the doctors are of varied
nature. but so overwhelming proportion hold
20 belief to leave but little doubt that it is
the correct one. This belief, briefly stated, is
thst uric acid in the blood causes rheumatism,
and that it is only by removing this poisonous
acid that rheumatic or neuralgic troubles in all
their terrible forms can be cured. This being
true, the important question arises g How
does this poisonous uric acid get into the blood
and how can it be removed r Uric acid is
waste material OF the body which the kidneys
should carry ont, but because they weak
.ned they cannot throw Il from the system.
Restore the kidneys and YOU restore the power
that will force tue uric acid from the sy stem
and thus Danish the rheumatic sgonies which
IT causes. This is reasoni 1t is science. No
one whose kidneys are in perfect condition
was ever troubled with rheumatism, and no
rheumatic sufferer however slight the pain
may he, has perfect kidneys The conclusion
of this truth Is inevitable perfect kidneys
means 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 result, the pain has departed but
the disease has remained, lying subtly concealed
and ready To break out az some unexpected
moment. Checking the pain in any single To-
cality only scatters the disease through the
system, when, II the seat Of the disorder which
are the XII Ineys, were reached, a complete cure
would DO the result. The way, therefore, to
expel this rank and poisonous acid before it
assumes an inhammatory or chronic form is by
keeping the kidneys IN absolute health. his
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, however, scientists have dis
covered that the leaves Of a tropical plant.
previously but little known TO science and
unknown to- medicine, possessed marvellous
qualities adapted for the kidneys. These leaves
have been skillfuily combined in the remedy
now known Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. 1t Is, up to the present time, the only
known preparation that acts so directly upon
the kidneys to efTectually cure the ious
dangerous forms OF kidney disease, and hence
remove all uric acid from tho blood. As a result,
the cures it has been the means OF performing,
really very remarkable. Indeed, there are
thousands Of persons in America To-day who
ows their restoration to health and entire free
dom from rheumatism to this simple yet plsw-
erful remedy, which is known universally,
manufactured in Rochester, n. Y. and sold in
every drug store in the land

United States who have certified over their own

The theory Of the doctors as above explained .
nnds It's confirmation in the fact that when the
klcneys have been cured, rheumatism is COM
pietely removed This is not, of course, always
accomplished instantly, for in a disease so
suotie, the. cure IS often very slow, but under
no otner plan can any hope Of permanent relief
ever be found. There are hundreds Of cases I
on record during the present Winter OF persons
hincted with rheumatic troubles of the worst
order who have been entirely cured by follow
ing the theory above stated and using the
remedy mentioned. Many Of these persons had
