CAUSE.
Post Intelligencer1
The predisposition to this disease is
often inherited, though i'll most cases
over one half-it follows
exposure to dampness or cold, or is
caused by sudden changes i'll tempera-
ture after exertion, or by taking cold
when the blood is favorable to it ;
strong excitement of emotions, such
AS fright while the body is perspiring
after excessive exercise. 1t may be
caused by excuses or protractcd use
Of poisonous drinks or medicines: also
by a retention in the system OF the
heterogeneous waste products of the
body, and an inactive or abnormal
condition of the kidneys; nervous
irritation of the spine, or impaired nu-
triment.
EFFECT.
omattcr how induced. the effect is
always the same. A poisonous acid,
by some thought to be Tactic or lithic
acid, but which the majority of prom
inent authorities agree in designating
uric acid, finds its way into the Cir
culation of the blood, combining grad
ually but surely with the calcareous
substances, obstructing blood vessels,
accommodating in the joints, causing
an inhammatory and nervous state
affecting all parts of the body, but
more especially the joints and ibrous
tissues that surround them.
Whether in the acute or chronic
form, no disease with which suffering
humanity is afflicted is more painful
The blood corrupted, the muscles in
agony, the brain racked with wearing
pain, it afilicts alike old or young
male or female, with varying intensity
and in different forms. One attack
renders the person more liable to
others, and the more times they have
been repeated, the closer they come
together, and the longer they last
and if proper remedies are not prompt
ly applied the insidious disease spreads
and increases in violence until it may
attack the heart beyond hcre OF re
covery.
What is required to effect cure is
remedy that will dissolve the cal
careous deposits in the joints and
eliminate every particle of the poison
Gus Uric Acid; remedy that will
reduce swelling and cool down fever
heat and prevent fermentation and de-
composition.

Drs. Darrin has q right to claim, OF

vestige of the disease, and giving new
life and vigor to the sufferer.
