A HUMAN BAROMETER.
The Real Relation Between the HUI

tifically Explained,

One of the most valuable DEVELOPMENTS
of modern science along the line of
human necessity is the National Weather
Bureau st Washington. Experience hiss
shown that eighty-siS per cent of the pre-
dictions of the signal service are accurate.
and these predictions are uuquestionabiy
of the greatest adyantsSe 10 the seaman,
the agriculturalist ard the entire COM
mercial world. The service has proven
its success by its usefulness, for in past
times the facilities for feretelling atmos-
pheric changes were meagre inSeed. The
onlv Indications our fathers had Of COM.
ing changes in tie weather were aching
limbs, twinging joints or painful corns.
These indications, though crude, were
| usually correct. and berce naturally sug-
gest the enquiry as 10 the relation between
| the human system and the weather. The
| body is unquestionably an excellent bar
ometer. Ii foretellS changes in the at
| mosphere long before they occur. and this
| fact has been taken advantage Of by phv-
| sicians who, when all other agencies fail.

ton better suited 10 its needs. And vet
the real relation between the human body
and the weather has never been fully I'M
| derstood, nor has there ever been, until
now, a correct explanation of what rheu-
matism (which seems in league with the
! atmosphere really Is. Ii 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 disrelled when the
\ same trouble attacked the muscles and
| the feeling then prevailed that 1t was
| purely muscular disorder But this
! idea was found 10 be too narrow. and now
| il is universally conceded that rheuma-
! tism is blood disease. And what a ter
rible disease il Is Ii often comes with
ont warning and prostrates the system
with agony. Again Its beginning is gra-
| dual and It's growth slow. In its acute
| form 1t manifests itself in every conCeiv-
able shape and always accompanied by in
| tense pain. AT one time il is inflamma-
tory, and another neuralgia. Sometimes
| it assumes the form Of govt. and again
that Of pleurisy or lumhago but in what
ever manner il appears il j. terribly pain

and anroygnce of rheumatism are iucreas-
ed by its great danger, for il is liable 10
attack the brain or heart at any moment,
| 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 10
| rheumatic causes. In its chronic form il
| stitfens the joints. contracts the muscles,
undermines the health and ruins the life
| Ii frequently attacks men and women who
are apparently in perfect health Indeed
il is as greatly to he dreaded rs any posi-
bic form of physical woe.
But, however Sc ;ere It's effects NAV be.
the exact cause of the blood trouble has
| been an undecided question, and il is oniy
| within the past years than any decision
! upon the subject has been reached. In
order to fully determine what the cause
of the rheumatic disorders really was
certain authorities sent letters of inquiry
| from Washington to the leading practic-
| ing physicians of the land, and these in
| quiries were responded TO quite generally
! thus furnishing data Of great value to
science and mankind. The views held by
! the doctors are Of a varied nature, but 50
overwhelming proportion hold TO one
belief as to leave but little doubt that it is
| the correct one. This belief, briefly stat
ed, is that uric acid in the blood causes
rheumatism, and that it is only by remov-
| ing this poisonous acid that rheumatic or
neuralgia troubles in all their terrible
forms can be cured. This being true.
| the important question arises: "How
! does this poisonous uric acid get into the
| blood and how can it best he removed ?"

No one whose kidneys are in perfect CON
dition was ever troubled with rheumatism.
and no rheumatic sufferer, no matter how

evitable ; perfect kidneys mean freedom

tempts have usually been made 10 treat
that part of The body. As result the
pain has departed but the disease
has remained, living subtly concealed and

ment. Checking the pain in any single
locality only scatters the disease through
the system, when, If the seat of the disor-

a complete cure would be the result. The
way, therefore, to expel this rank and
poisonous acid before it assumes any in
flammatory or chronic form is by keeping
the kidneys in absolute health. This il
no easy thing TO do, and no means has,
until the past few years. been known
which would successfully reach and affect
these great organs At last however.
scientists have discovered that The leaves

cine, possessed marvellous qualities adapt

the only known preparation that acts SO
directly upon the kidneys as to effectually
cure the various dangerous forms of kid

acid from the blood As a result, the
cures it has been the means of performing
are really very remarkable. Indeed,
