A HUMAN FIRE.
The Phenomenon of burning Mine
Repeated i'm the Phys
zeal System

! A few years ago one the most inn
/ portant coal mines ID. Pennsylvania
caught fire. 1t started slowly but soon
4 obtained such Roadway that il spread
4 through the greater portion of the entire
mine. To flood it with water would ex-
/ tinguish the fire. but well nigh ruin the
mine; and still the flames continued TO
1 increase At that junction a young man
| stepped forward and suggested that all
/ the entrances and vent holes of the mine
I be covered and secured. thus shutting
off the supply of air His advice was
1 followed and the flames were finally sub
dued.
To compare the condti,n this mine
with many phases of the human sys-
tenn, is most natural and appropriate.
Sire in the blood" is not mere express
sion, it is most serious fact. How it
originates, it may be impossible to say;
but that it burns and RACES with an in
creasing fury, the one who is its victim
only too painfully knows. The blood is
1 the life. 1t Is designed by nature to pu-
rify, strengthen and sustain the system.
| 1t is too often made the channel through
which poison and death are transported.
/ Poisonous acids coming through the
veins and arteries intlame and cause 4
! fire Just as real as the one which exist
ed in the mine. They burn and irritate,
causing the brain to become weak and
the nerves uAstrung; they carry pains
to the muscles and leave agonies in the
joints they bring destruction instead of
strength; they devastate the very por-
tione of the body that most require help,
and they h stem the approach of death
in its most horrible form These things

who have been the victims OF rheumat-
&c disorders, and the agonies they have
endure d confirm this description
There is but one way by which the fire
in the blood can be extinguished, and
that is by shutting off hesupply of these
poisonous acids. The Tactic, hthic and
/ uric acids come into the blood through
/ the liver and kidneys, and they remain
/ in solution in the blood producing I'M

vers and affections. When they are de-
/ posted as gritty crystals in and near the
/ Joints, they cause articular rheumatism;
when In the muscles, muscular rheuma
tlsm and lumbago when in the tissues

| supply must be shut off. This can only
/ be done by guarding the portals to the
/ blood--the kidneys and liver; and no
means has ever been found for accom-
4 plishing this which can equal Warner

upon the seat of the disorder; 1t eXtln-

The well known standing of IT, II.
Warner & Co. of Rochester, n. v, the
remarkable success which Warmers
Safe Cure has achieved, being Endorsed
/ by no less parsonage than DIR. Robert
/ A. Gum, Dean of the United States
4 Medical college, New York. and the
| fidelity with which they have carried out
/ all their promises to the public, should
/ be a sufficient warrant that the above
| statements are true They, however,
/ guarantee to cure ninety-five per cent
/ of all rheumatic troubles especially
acute, knowing full well that the de-
/ monstrated power of the remedy justi-
/ fies them in so doing. Nothing can be
I fairer than this, and those who suffer in
/ the future from rheumatism with such
an offer before them, do so on their own
I responsibility and can blame no one if
living pain and untimely dea Eh are the
results.
