coal mines in Pennsylvania caught fire. 1t
started slowly but soon obtained such head
way that it spread through the greater por-
ton of the entire mine. To flood it with
water would extingulsh the fire, but well nigh
ruin the mine: and still the flames continued
to increase. At that j~uncture a young man
stepped forward and suggested that all the
entrances and vent holes Of the mine be Gov
cred and secured, thus shutting off the sup
ply of air. His advice was followed and the
flames were finally subdued.
To compar the condition of this mine with
many phases of the human system is most
natural and appropriate. Fire in the blood"
is not a mere expression, it is 9 most serious
fact. How it originates it may he impossible
to say: but that it burns and RACES with an
increasing fury, the one who is its victim
only loo 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
one which existed in the mine. They burn
and ~irritate. causing the brain to become
weak and the nerves unstrung; they carry
rains to the muscles and leave agonies in the
Joints: they bring destruction instead of
Strength; they Gevastate the very portions
of the body that most require help, and they
hasten the approach of death III its most hor-
riblc form. These things have been felt by
innumerahlc people who have been the VIC
tins of rheumatic disorders, and the agonleS
they nave endured confirm this description.
There is but one wa by which the fire IN
the blood can be e%xtinguished, and that IS by
l.A.:,. xry +I,, c,,,,1y, pf thoca nOIS-
onous acids. The Tactic. lithic and
uric acids come into the blood through
the liver and kidneys, and they remain i'll So
luton in the blood. producing infiammatory
rheumatism. sciatica. lumbago, neuralgia,
pGut and all rheumatic feverS and affections.
When they are deposited as gritty crystals In
anil near tie Joints, they cause artlcular
rheumatism: when in the muscles, muscular
rheumatism and lumbago: when in the It's
sues covering the nerves., sciatlca; when IN
the face, head and nerves generally, neural
gin. In every case they are painful: i'll most
Instances, dangerous. I~nf1amnatory rheu-
matism is likely to locate in some joint and
become chronic, or suddenly attack the brain
or heart. causing apOpleXy or heart disease.
The fire in the blOol must be cxtingulshed-
the 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 Tor accomplishing tnls WHICH
can equal Warmers Safe Rheumatic Cure.
1t acts directly u1on the seat of the disor-
der: it e~xtinguishes the fire by controlling
the supply and removing the cause.
The we'll known standing of H. H. Warner
g. Co. of Rochester, n. Y, the remarkable
success which Warmers Safe Cure has
achieved, being Endorsed by no less a person
age than DR.. Robert a. Gum, dean Of the
Unitel 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 state
to cure ninety-five per cent. of all rheumatic
troubles, especially acute, knowing full we'll
that the demonstrated power Of the remedy
iustifies them in so doing. Nothing can be
faircr than this, and those who suffer in the
future from rheumatism with such an offer
before them, do so on their own responsiblll,
ty, and can blame no one if living pain and
untimely death are the results.
