another neuralgia. Sometimes it assumes
the form of gout, and again that OF pleurisy
or lumbago; but in whatever manner it ap-
pears it is terribly painful and always to be
dreaded. The pain and annoyance ofrheum-
atism are increased by its great danger for
it is liable to 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
directly to rheumatic causes. In its chronic
form it stiffens the joints, contracts thsmus-
cles, undermines the health and ruins the
life. 1t frequently attacks men aud women
who are apparently in perfect health. In
deed, it is as greatly to be dreaded as any
possible form of physical woe.
| But, however severe it's 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 order to
fully determine what the cause of rheum-
attic disorders really was, certain authorities
sent letters of inquiry from Washington to
the leading practising physicians of the land,
and these inquiries were responded to quite
generally, thus furnishing data of great val
ne to science and mankind. The views held
by the doctors are of a varied nature, but so
overwhelming proportion hold to one be-
lief as to leave but little doubt that it is the
correct one. This belief, briefly stated, is
| that uric acid in the blood causes rheuma-
| poisonous acid that rheumatic or neuralgia
troubles in all their terrible forms can be
cured. This being true the important
questson arises: "How does this poisonous
uric acid get into the blood, and how can it
best be removed?' Uric acid is a waste ma
terial Of the body which the kidneys should
carry out, but because they are weakened
they cannot throw it from the system. Re-
store the kidneys and you restore the power
that will force the uric acid from the sys-
tenn and thus Danish the rheumatic agonies
which it causes. This is reason; it is science.
No Que whose kidneys are in a perfect con.
dition 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 rheumatism.
l 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-
parted but the disease has remained lying
subtly concealed and ready to break out at
some unexpected moment. Checking the
pain in any single locality only scatters the
disease through the system, when, if the
seat of the disorder, which are the Kidneys
were reached, o complete cure would be the
result The way, therefore, to expel this
rank and poisonous acid before it assumes
an infammatory or chronic form is by
keeping the kidneys in absolute 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, how
ever, scientists have discovered 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 skillfully combined in the remedy now
known as Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. 1t is, up to the present time the
only known preparation that acts SO di-
rectly upon the kidneys as to effsctually
cure the various dangerous forms OF kidney
disease, and hence remove all uric acid from
the blood. As result, the cures it has
been the means Of performing are really very
remarkable. Indeed, there are thousands
of persons in America to-day VINO owe their
restoration to health and entire freedom
from rheumatism to this simple yet power
full remedy, which known universally, man
ufactured in Rochester. N. Y, and sold in
every drug store in the land.

the United States who have certified over

ment that uric acid in the blood is the cause
of rheumatism, are large number of Chi
