Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest and distress from tortured muscles, aching joints and excited nerves. The blood has been poisoned by the accumulation of waste matter in the system, and can no longer supply the pure and health sustain ing food they require. The whole system feels the effect of this acid poison; and not until the blood has been purified and brought back to healthy condition will the aches and pains cease.
 Mrs. James Kell, of 7o7 Ninth street, N. B.. Washington, D. C., writes follows "A few months ago had an attack of Sciatic Rheuma
