The Real Relation between the Human bedl
nnd the Weather scientifically EXplntneus
A

One of the most valuable developments Of
modern science along the line OF human ne
cessity ia the National Weather Bureau at
Washington Experience has shown that
oghty-sx per cent. Of the predictions of the
signal service are accurate; and these predic-
hons are unquestionably OF the greatest advan-
lage to the seaman, the agriouiturist and the
entire commercial world. The service has
proven its necessity by it's usefulness, for IN
past times the facilities for foretelling atmos-
pheric changes were meager indeed. The only
! indications our fathers had of coming changes
in the weather we're aching limbs, twitching
! Joints or painful corns These indications"
though crude, we're usually correct, and hence
naturally suggest the inquiry as to the rela-
ton between the human system and the
weather. The body is unquestionably an ex-
cellent 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 between the
| human body and the weather has never been
I fully understood, nor has there ever been, until
now, 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 ridicu-
ous manner. This theory became dispelled
when the same trouble attacked the muscles,
| anu inc lGbilnB tn6H pIeNdlieu lUht ~ was
purely a muscular disorder. But this idea was
| found to be too narrow, and now it is univer
| sally conceded that rheumatism is blood dis
ease And what terrible disease it is. 1t
often comes without warning and prostrates the
| system with agony Again its beginning is
| gradual, and It's growth Glow. In its acute
| form it manifests itself in every conceivable
| shape and always accompanied by intense pain.
At one time it is inAammatory, at another
neuralgia. Sometimes it assumes the form of
\ -
but in whatever manner it appears it is terribly
painful and always to be dreaded. The pain
| and annoyance of rheumatism are increased by
it's 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 the mus
cles, undermines the health and ruins the life.
1t frequently attacks men and women who are
| apparently in perfect health. Indeed 1t is as
greatly to be dreaded as any possible form of
| physical woe.
But, however severe its effects may be, the
exact carse 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 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 furn-
ishing data of great value to science and man
| kind The views held by the doctors are of a
varied nature, but 80 overwhelming proper
| ton hold to one belief as to leave but little
doubt that it is the correct one. This belief,
briefly stated, is that uric acid in the blood
causes rheumatism, and that it is only by re-
moving this poisonous acid that rheumatic or
neuralgia troubles in ali 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 be removed2" Uric acid is waste ma
| terial 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 1t causes.
This is reason it is science. No one whose
kidneys are in a perfect condition 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.
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 a result the pain has departed but
the disease has remained, lying subtly con-
cealed and ready to break out at some unex-
pected moment Checking the pain in any
single locality only scatters the disease through
the system, when il the seat OF the disorder,
which are the kidneys, were reached a complete
t6ure would be the result. The way, therefore,
to expel this rank and poisonous acid before II
assumes an inflammatory or chronic form is by
keeping the kidneys in absolute health. This
is 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 of tropical plant, previously bu
| IN aNipn nnknOyYO
cine, possessed marvellous qualities adapted for
the kidneys. These leaves have been sklllfullS
combined in the remedy now known as Warner;
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. 1t is up to the
present time, the only known preparation thai
acts so directly upon the kidneys as to etectuallN
cure the various dangerous forms OF kidney
disease and hence remove all uric acid from
the blood. AS result the cures 1t has been the
means of performing are really very remarkable
Indeed there are thousands of persons in
America to-day who owe their restoration il
health and entire freedom from rheumatism Il
this simple yet powerful remedy, which is known
universally, manufactured in Rochester, N. Y.
and sold in every drug store in the land.

United States who have certified over their OWL

The theory of the doctors as above explained
finds its confirmation in the fact that when tn
kidneys have been cured, rheumatism Is com
pletely removed. This is not, of course, alway
, accomplished instantly, for in disease 81
subtle, the cure is often very Glow, but unde
no other plan can any hope of permanent re
lief ever be found. There are hundreds o
