Rheumatism,

common rheumatism is q disease which
affects tie joints, the hinges of the body, in
such way that the slightest motion of the
alllng part gives pain. A crcaking hinge is
dry and turns hard. A single drop of oil
to moistcn it makes wonderful change, and
it instantly moves on itself with the utmost
facility. All kinds of rheumatism are an in
Illumination of the surface of the Joints. In
llammaion is heat; this heat dries their sur
faces; hence the slightest effort at motion
gives piercing pain. In u healthy condition
OF the parts nature is constantly throwing
out lubricating oil, which keeps the Joints in

very certain methods of preventing rheuma-
tlsm The moment n garment is wetted, i'm

sufficient to maintain very slight perspira-

The failure to wear wooden flannel next the
skin is the most frequent cause of rheuma-
tism; for common muslin or silk shirt by
perspration becomes damp and cold the in

The easiest most certain and least hurtful
way of curing this troublesome affection is
first, TO keep the joints affected wound

as coarse breads, ripe fruits, berries, boiled
