A Human Fire.
THE PHENOMENON or BURNING MINI
REPEATED IN THE Phys
ICAL SYSTEM.

A few years ago one of the most i'm
portant coal mines in Pennsylvania
caught fire. 1t started slowly but soop
obtained such headway that it spread
through the greater portion of the entire
mine. To flood it with water would
extinguish the fire, but well nigh ruin
the mlne and still the flames conlinu
ed to increase. AT that juncture q
young man stepped forward and sug-
gested that all the entrances and vent
holes of the mine be covered aud Sc
cured, thus shutting 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
"F'ire in the blood is not mere
expression, it is most serious fact.
How it originates, it may be impossible
to say but that it burns and RACES

its victim only too painfully knows
The blood is the life. II is designed by
nature to purify, strengthen and sus-
tain the system. 1t is too often made
the channel through which poison aud
death are transported. Poisonous acids
coming through the veins and arteries

the one which existed in the mine.
They burn and irritate causing the
brain to become weak and the nerves
unstrnng they carry pains to the mus
cles and leave agonies III the joints they
bring destruction instead of strength
they devastate the very portions OF the
body that most require help, and they
hasten the approach of death in its
most horrible form. These things have
been felt by innumerable 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 poisonous 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 infammatory rheumatism,
sciatica, lumbago, neuralgia, gout aud
all the rheumatic fevers and affections.
When they are deposited as gritty crys
tails in and near the joints, they cause
articuar rheumatism; when in the mus
cles, muscular rheumatism and lumba

nerves, sciatca when in the face, head
and nerves generally, neuralgia. In
every case they are painful in most
instances, dangerous. lntiammatory
rheumatism is likely to locate in some
Joint and become chronic, or suddenly
attack the brain or heart, causing apo.
plexy or heart disease. The fire in
the blood must be extinguished
the supply must be shut off. This
can only lie done by guarding the por
tails to the blood-the kidneys and
liver and no means bas ever beer
found for accomplishing this which can

1t acts directly upon the seat of the
disorder it extinguishes the fire by
controlling the supply and removing
the cause.
