A HUMAN FIRE.
The Phenomenon of a Burning Mine
Repeated I'm the Phys
zeal 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 headway that it spread
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
increase. At that junction a 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
followed and the flames We're finally sub
dued.
To compare the condition of this mine
with many phases of the human syS-
tenn, is most natural and appropriate.
Fire in the blood" is not a mere expires
sion, it is a 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
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 intiame and cause
fire just as real as the one which exist
ed in the mine. They burn and irritate,

to the muscles and leave agonies in the

strength; they devastate the very por-

and they hasten the approach of death

have been felt by innumerable people
who have been the victims Of rheumat-

endured confirm this desc ripuon.
There is but one way by which the fire
i'll the blood can be eNtinguiShed, and
that is by shutting off the supply 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 IN

go, neuralgia, govt and allrh6umatic fc
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-
tism and lumbago; when in the tissues
covering the nerves, sciatlca; when in
the face, head and nerves generally,
neuralgia. In every case they are pain
