A few years ago one OF the most important
coal mines in Pennsylvania caught fire. 1t
started slowly but soon obtained such head
way that it spread through the greater por-
tion of the entire mine. To flood it with
ruin the mine; and still the flames continued
to increase. At that iuncture a young man
stepped forward and suggested that all the
entrances and vent holes Of the mine be COW
cred and secured, thus shutting OFF the sup
ply Of air. His advice was followed and the
flames were finally subdued.
10 compare the condition Of this mine with
many phases of the human system is most
natural and appropriate. Fire in the blood"
is not q mere expression, it is a most serious
fact. How it originates itmay be impossible
to say; but that it burns and RACES with an
increasing fury, the one who 10 it's victim
only too painfully knows. The blood 10 the
life. 1t is designed by nature to purify.
strengthen and sustain the system. It is too
often made the channel through which
poison and death are transported. Poisonous
acids coming through the veins and arteries
intiame and cause a fire just as real as the
one which existed in the mine. They burr
and ~irritate, causing the brain to become
weak and the nerves unstrung; they carry
pains to the musc'es and leave agonies in the
joints; they bring destruction instead of
strength; they devastate the very portions
OF the body thatmost require help, and they
hasten the approach of death in its most hor-
rible form. These things have been felt by
innumerable people who have been the vic
tins OF rheumatic disorders, and the agonies
they have endured confirm this description.
There is but one way by which the fire in
the blood can be e~xtinguished, Inc that is by
shutting off the supply of these pois-
onous acids. The Tactic, lithic and
uric acids come into the blood through
the liver and kidneys, and they remain in So
luton in the blood, producing infammatory
rheumatism, s~ciatica, lumbago, neuralgia,
govt and all rheumatic fevers and affections.
When they are deposited as gritty crystalsin
AMI near tie joints, they cause articular
rheumatism; when in the muscles, muscular
rheumatism and lumbago; when in the It's
sues covering the nerves, sciatica; when in
the face, head and nerves generally, neural
gia. In every case they are painful; in most
Instances, dangerous. Iniammatory 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 blood must be extinguished-
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 for accomplishing this which
can equal Warmers Safe Rheumatic Cure.
1t acts directly upon the seat of the disor-
der: it e~xtinguishes the fire by controlling
the supply and removing the cause.
The well known standing of II. FL. Warner
& Co. of Rochester, n. Y, the remarkable
success which Warmers Safe Cure has
achieved, being Endorsed by no less a person
age than DIR. Robert "A. Gum, dean of The
United States Medical college, New York,
and the fidelity with which they have carried
out all their promises to the public, should be
q sufficient warrant that the above state
ments are true. They, however, guarantee
to cure ninety-fve per cent. of all rheumatic
troubles, especially acute, knowing full well
that the demonstrated power of the remedy
~justiies 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 responsible
ty, and can blame nc one if living pain and
untimely death are the results.
