One of the most valuable Developments Of
modern science along the line of human neces-
sity is the National Weather Bureau at Wash
ington. Experience has shown that eighty-six
per cent OF the predictions of the signal service
are accurate; and these predictions are uuques-
tionably of the greatest advantage to the seaman,
the agriculturist and the entire commercial
world. The service has proven its necessity by
Its usefulness for in past times the facilities tor
foretelling atmospheric changes were meagre in
deed The only indications our fathers had of
coming changes in the weather were aching
limbs twlnging joints painful corns These
INDICATIONS, though crude, were usually cor
rect, and hence naturally suggest the INQUIRY as
to the relation between the human system and
the weather. The body is unquestIonably an
excellent barometer. 1t foretelIs 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 NAV find an asmos-
pherlc condition better suited TO its needs And
yet the real relation between the human body
and the weather has never been fully under
stood, nor has there ever been until now "A cor
rect explanation of what rheumatism (which
seem In league with the atmospherel really is.
Ii was originally thought by MANY 10 be
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 il was purely muscular dis
order But this idea was found to be too mar
row, and now II is universally conceded that
rheumatism blood disease And what ter
rIble disease il is. 1t often csmes without warn
ing and proStrates the system with agony
Again its beginning is gradual, and its growth
slow. In Its acute form il manifests itself in
every conceivable shape and always accompan-
led oy intense pain. AT one time it is infiamma-
tory, at another neuralgic. Sometimes it as
sumes the form of gOut, and again that of pIeu-
rlsy or lumoago; but in whatever manner ii an
pears 1t is terribly painful and ALWAYS TO be
dreaded. The pain and annoyance of rheuma-
llsm are increased by lis great danger for il is
liable To attack the brain or heart at any mo-
ment, thereby causing instant death Indeed
nearly every case of heart disease with all its
dreadful suddenness which has ever occurred
can be traced more or less directly to rheumatic
causes. ~ its chronic form il 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, II is as greatly 10 be dreaded as any pos
slble form of physical woe. .
But however severe its effects NAV be- the ex-
act cause OF this blood trouble has been an unde-
cIded 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 Washing
ton to the leading praciicing physicians of the
land, and these inquiries were 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 over
whelming a proportion hold 10 one belief as to
leave but little doubt that il is the correct one
THIS belief briefly stated is that uric acid in the
blood causes rheumatism, and that II 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 ques-
ton arises: How does this poisonous uric acid
get into the blood, and how can il best be re-
mOvedT" Uric acid is a 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 it 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 slight the
pain may be, has perfect kidneys. The concu-
sion of this truth is inevitable perfect kidneys
mean freedom from rheumatism f
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 concealed and ready TO
break out al some unexpected moment Check
ing the pain in any single locality only scatters
the disease through the system when, if the seat
of the disorder, which the kidneys were
reached, a complete cure would be the result
The way, therefore, To expel this rank and poi
sonous acid before il assumes an Infiammatory or
chronic form is by keeping the kidneys in abso-
lutte health. This 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 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 skillfuly combined in
the remedy now known as Warmers Safe Kid
ney 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 il has been the means of
performing are really very remarkable. Indeed,
there thousands of persons in America to-
day " no owe their restoration 10 health and en-
tire freedom from rheumatism TO this simple yet
powerful remedy, which is known universally,
manufactured in Rochester, n. T., and sold in
every drug store IN the land. (
