times the facilities for iortelllng atmos

only indications our fathers had Of coming
changes in the weather were aching limbs
twinging joints or painful corns. Thest
'indiCations," though crude, were usually
correct, and hence naturally suggest thu
enquiry Us to the relation between the
human system and the weather. The body
Is unquestionably an excellent barometer

before they occur, and this fact has been
taken advantage Of by physicians, who, when

needs. And yet the real relation between
the human body and the weather has
never been fully understood, nor has there
ever been, until now, u correct explanation
Of what rheumatism which seems in league
with the atmosphere) really Is. 1t was
originally thought by many to 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 It was purely a muscular disorder.
But this idea was found to be too narrow,
and now 1t is universally conceded that
rheumatism is blood disease. And what
u terrible disease II is. 1t often comes
without warning and prostrates the system,
with agony. Again its beginning isgnllual,
and It's growth SLOW. In It's acute form it
lnanitests itself in every conceivable shape
and always accompanied by intense pain.
At one time it is inllammatory, at another
neuraIgic. Sometimes It assumes the form

is terribly painful and always to be dread.

liable to attack the brain or heart ut any

Indeed, nearly every case Of heart disease
with ait its dreadful suddennesS which has
ever occurred, can DO traced more orless
directly to rheumatic causes. In its chronic
form it stilIens the joints, contracts the
muscles, undermineS the health and ruins

health. Indeed, il Is as greatly to be

act cause OF this blood trouble hus been an
undecided question, aud it is only within
the past year that any decision upon the
subject has been reached. lnIorder to full
" 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 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 overwhelming proportion
hold TO one belief us to leave but little
doubt that it is the correct one, This be-
lief, briefly stated, is that uric acid in the
blood causes rheumatism, and that it 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; allow
dues this poisonous uric acid get into the
blood, and how can il 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 it
causes. This is reason; it is science. No
one whose kidneys are in perfect conli-
ton was ever troubled with rheumatism,
and no rheumatic sufferer, however slight
the pain may be, has perfect kidneys. The
conclusion of this truth is inevitable;
perfect kidneys mean freedom from rheu.

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 de-

is 10 easy thing to do, and no means has,
until within thcpast few years, been known
which would successfully reach and effect
these great organs. At last, however, sci.
