the exact cause Of this blood trouble has
laeu IN undecided question, and It y
orly within the past year that any dect-

10 oricr TO fully determine what the
.s,,sc a. rheumatic disorders really was,
certain authorities sent letters Of inquiry
iro,n Washington to the leading practic-
Ing PHYSICIANS Of the land, and these in
qliries were responded to quite general
u, thus furnishing data vi great value
to science and mankind. The
views held by the doctors are
ii varied nature, but es0 over
whelming i proportion hold to one BE-
lief ~ to leave but little doubt that it is
the correct one. This belief, briefly
stated, j. that uric acid in the blood is
the c.,l>e Of rheumatism, and 1t 10 only
'y renewing that poisonous acid that
rheumatic rr neuralgia troubles In all
their terrible forms can he cured. This
Icing true, the important question
arises: ''How docs this poisonous uric
acid get into the blood, and how can 1t
list le rcilovcd:' Uric acid is waste
material If the body which the kidneys
should carry ont, but because they are
weakened they cannot throw 1t from
the system. HcstOre the kidneys and
you restore the power that will force the
uric acid from the system, and thus ban
ish the rheumatic agOnies which It
causes. This is reason; it is science. No
one whose kidneys are in perfect CON-
dition was ever troubled with rheuma-
tis'n, and no rheumatic sufferer, how
ever slight the pain may be, has perfect
kidneys The conclusion Of this truth
sinevitahIc; perfect kidneys mean free
dom from rheumatism.
