A HUMAN FIRE.
The Phenomenon of a Burning Mine
Repeated IN the Physical System.

A few years ago one of the most i'm
portant coal mines in Pennsylvania
caught fire. 1t started slowly but soon
obtained such Roadway that it spread
through the greater portion of the entire
mine. To flood it with water would ex-
tinguish the fire, but we'll nigh ruin the
mine; and still the flames continued to
increase. AT that juncture young
man stepped forward and suggested that
mine be covered and secured, thus shut
ting off the supply of air. His advice
was followed 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,
it is most serious fact How it orig
mates, 1t may be impossible to say; but
that it burns and RACES with an increas-
ing fury, the one who is it's victim only
too painfully knows. The blood is the
life. 1t is designed by nature to purify,
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 infame and cause a
fire just as real as the one which existed
in the mine. They burn and irritate
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 devastate the very por-
tions of the body that most require help,
and they hasten the approach of death
in it's most horrible form. These things
have been felt by innumerable people
who have been the victims of rheumatic
disorders, and the agonies they have en-
dured 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 poisonous acids. The Tactic, lithic
and uric aci1s come in to the blood
through the liver and kidneys, and they
remain in solution in the blood producing
inhammatory rheumatism, sciatica, lum-
| bago, neuralgia, govt and all rheumatic
| fevers and affections. When they are
| deposited as gritty crystals in and near
the joints, they cause articular rheuma-
tism; when in the muscles; muscular
rheumatism and lumbago; when in the
| tissues covering the nerves. sciatica,
when in the face, head and nerves gen
orally, neuralgia. In every case they are
painful; in most instances, dangerous.

locate in some joint and become chronic,

causing apoplexy or Eeart disease. The
fire in the blood must be extinguished-
the supply must be shut off. This can
OF " be done by guarding the portals to
the plood-the kidneys and liver; and no
| means has ever been found for accom-
plishing this which can equal Warner s

upon the seat of the disorder; it extin-
guishes the fire By controlling the supply
and removing the cause.

rheumatic troubles, especially acute,

power Of the remedy justifies 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.
