HUMAN BAROMETER.
The Real Rela tion Between the Human
Body and the Weather Scientifically Exs

One of the most valuable developments
of modern science along the line of human
necessity is the National Weather Bureau
at Washington. Experience has shown
that eighty-six per cent. OF the predictions
of the signal service are accurate; and these
predictions are unquestionabiy otthe great
est advantage to the seamen, the agricul-
turist and the entire commercial world.
The service has proven its necessity
by its usefulness, for in past times the
facilities for foretelling atmospheric
changes were meagre indeed. Ihe
only Indications our fathers had OF coming
changes in the weather were aching limbs,
twinging joints or painful corns. These
indications" though crude, were usually
correct, and hence naturally suggest the
inquiry as to the relation between the
human system and the weai her. The body
is unquestionably an excellent barometer.
1t foretells 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 a
change of air, thus hoping the body may
find an atmospheric condition better suited
TO its needs And yet the real relation be-
tween the human body and the weather
has never been fully understood, nor has
there ever been, until now a correct explana-
ton vi nAat EAelllatlsn AWhleh seems IN
league with the atmospheric really Is. IL was
originally thought by many to be trouble
in the Joints, and as such was treated in
the most strange, not TO ridiculous say,
manner. This theory became dispelled
when the same trouble attacked the mus
Giles, and the feeling then prevailed that 1t
was purely muscular disorder. But this
idea was found to be TOO narrow, ana now
IL is universally conceded that rheumatism
is blood disease. And what terrible d D
ease It is. IL often comes without warning
and prostrates the system with agony.
Again its beginning is gradual, and its
growth slow. In its acute form IL manifests
itseltin every conceivable shape and always
accompanied by intense pain; AT one time
Il is inflammation at another neuralgic.
Sometimes IL assumes the form Of govt, and
again the pleurisy or lumbago; but IN what
ever manner Il appears II Is ter

The pain and annoyance OF rheumatism

Indeed, nearly every case OF heart disease

the muscles, undermiDes the health and
