A HUMAN FIRE.
The Phenomenon OF Burning Mine Re-
peated In the Physical System.

A few years ago one of the most impor-
tant coal mines in Pennsylvania caught fire.
1t started slowly but soon obtained such
Roadway that it spread through the great
er portion of the entire mine. To food it
with water would extinguish the fire, but
well nigh ruin the mine; and still the flames
continued to increase. At that luncture
Young man stepped forward and suggested
that all the entrances and vent holes of the
mine be covered and secured, thus shutting
off the supply of air. His advice was fol-
lowed and the flames were finally subdued.
To compare the condition of this mine
with many phases of the human system, is
most natural and appropriate. " Fire in
the blood" is not mere expression, 1t is
most serious fact. How it originates, it
may be impossible to say; but that 1t burns
anu RACES with an increasing fury, the one
who is its victim only too painfully knows.
The blood is the life. 1t is designed by ma
ture to purify, strengthen and sustain the
system 1t is too often made the channel
through which poison and death are trans
ported. Poisonous acids coming through
the veins and r;eries inf1ame and cause
fire Just as real as the one which existed IN
the mine. They burn and irrltate, causing
the brain to become weak and the nerves
unstrung; they carry pains to the muscles
and leave agonies in the joints; they bring
destruction instead of strength; they de-
vastate the very portions OF the body that
most require help, and they hasten the ap-
proach of death In its most horrible form.
These things have been felt by innumera-
BILE people who have been the victims of
rheumatic disorders, and the agonies they
have endured confirm this description.
There is but one way by which this fire
in the blood can be extinguished, and that
is by shutting off the supply OF these pol
sonous acids. The Tactic, lithic and uric
acids come in to the blood through the liver
and kidneys, and they remain in solution
| in the blood producing inflammatory rheu-
matism, sciatica, lumbago, neuralgia, govt
and all rheumatic fevers and affections.
| When they are deposited as gritty crystals
| in and near the joints, they cause articular
| rheumatism; when in the muscles, muScu-
lar rheumatism and lumbago; when in the
tissues covering the nerves, sciatica; when
| in the face, head and nerves generally,
| neuralgia. In every case they are painful;
| in most instances, dangerous. lnf1amma-
| tory rheumatism is likely to locate in some
| joint and become chronic, or suddenly at
| tack the brain or heart, causing apoplexy
| or heart-disease. The fire in the blood
must be extinguished-the supply must be
shut off. This can only be done by guard
ing the portals to the blood-the kidneys
| and liver; and no means have ever been
| found for accomplishing this which can

acts directly upon the seat of the disorder;
it extinguishes the fire by controlling the
supply and removing the cause.
The we'll known standing of H. II. War
ner & Co., of Rochester, N. Y, the remarka-
BILE success which Warmers Safe Cure has
achieved, being indorsed by no less per-
| sonage than DR.. Robert A. Gum, Dean of
the United States 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, how
ever, guarantee to cure ninety-five per cent.
knowing full well that the demonstrated
power Of the remedy juskifies them in so
doing. Nothing can be~fairer than this,
and those who suffer in the future from
rheumatism with such an offer before them,
do so on their own responsibility, and can
blame no one if living pain and untimely
| death are the results.
