THE PAINS OF RHEUMATISM

According to the best authorities,
originate in & morbid condition of
the blood. Tactic acid, caused by
the decomposition of the gelatinous
and albuminous tissues, circulates
with the blood and attacks the
fibrous tissues, particularly in the
joints, and thus causes the local
manifestations Of the disease. The
back and shoulders are the parts
usually affected by rheumatism, and
the joints at the knees, ankles, hips
a nd wrists are also sometimes at
tackled. Thousands of people have
found in Hoods SarsapariIla a posi-,
tive and permanent cure for rheuma
tism: 1t has had remarkable sue
cess in curing the most severe cases.
The secret of its success lies in the
fact that it attacks at once the
cause of the disease by neutralizing
the Tactic acid and purifying the
blood,as we'll az strengthening every
function of the body.

Determining Sounds.

Hiram S. Maxim, in London Engi-
neering. suggests the adoption of a
standard of sound, claiming that it
might be a ready means of deciding
some complicated questions which are
brought before the courts. BY this
means it might be distinctly decided
for instance, whether noise in houses
caused by vibrations of machinery in
neighboring central stations is or is not
greater than the ordinary noise of street
traffic. He believes that the noise pro-
duced by passing cab is much less
than that produced by central sta
ton. He suggests as starter that a
kind of photograph be employed in
making record on smoked glass
which could be enlarged in a lantern,
and by this means a noise made by a
factory, for instance, might be COM
pared with that produced by a Saliva
ton Army band or other disagreeable
sounds which are tolerated by law. AS
a standard of noise, he suggests shot
of certain size dropped from certain
height on to some standardized dia-
phragm, the waves being recorded at,
say, five meters distance.
