WHAT TEA DOES TO
RHEUMATICS.

When you next take tea, think of this
Tea contains l75 grains OF Uric Acid in
every pound
Meat contains only fiye TO seven grains.
rheumatism is Uric Acid in the blood
Uric Acid accumulates from food when
the digestive apparatus cannot create
enough Alkaline elements QIke soda) TO
neutralize it,
This Acid collects urea, or worn-out
waste matter, from the system.
That Urea enters the blood when Al
kaline action has not previously dis
solved IT.
BY and by the waste matter reaches
the joints<and muscles, through eircula-
tion OF the blood.
There ii gradually deposits in solid
particles. like granulated sugar.
These solid particles grind between the
joints and muscles at every movement.
This grinding causes irritation and
pain.
These in turn may develop inflamma-
tion and swelling. That Inflammation
bestirs Nature to help herself
She proceeds 10 coat the hard Uric
particles over with cushions OF puIpy
mucous, like the first healing strata OF
an outer sore.
This pulpy covering grows TO the
bones. as well as to the particles depos-
tied. There ii hardens like plaster or
sealing wax. Then we have ''bony
joints" almost infiexible, and usually
fixed in a bended position, from the pain
and Inflammation.
That is rheumatism at it's worst.
Ii is bad enough before It gets that
far.
There is but one sure way OF curing
rheumatism. The first step is TO neu-
traliZe the Uric Acid already in the sys-
tenn. Next. to dissolve. and carry away
the hard deposits that grind between the
Joints. Then get the digestive apparatus
into such heahhy condition that IL will
unaided, produce less Uric Acid and
more Alkalines.
This IS what Doctors generally have
failed to do.
II is what / studied a lifetime to ac-
complish. and achieved only after many
failures and thouss nds of experiments.
At last / found. IN Germany, a solvent
which was not only effective. but abso-
mtely safe TO use.
Few agents powerful enough to be ef-
fective in Rheumatism are safe
My discovery. now called ''Dr. Shoop's
Rheumatic Cure" acts directly, but in
ternaiiy. upon Tric Acid in the Joints
ard muscles.
1t dissolves, and carries of, the pain
ful deposits, producing an immediate
Alkaline condition of the blood, and neu-
Trailing the Acid in ii which would
have fed the rheumatism and extended
the disease.
Ii won't restore bony joints to fiexibil-
ity, and il can't undo, in a week, the
damage caused by years OF rheumatic
condition.
But il will benefit every case. and IL
VIII entirely cure most cases OF Rheu-
matiSm.
So sure am OF this that will supply
DR.. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure TO any sick
one who writes me for It, on months
trial. at my risk.
III II succeeds, the cost TO him is only
g. so for the six-bottle treatment.
II II fails, / bear the whole cost my
self
And-he alone shall be the judge-shan
decide who shall pay.
Surely You will not continue to suffer
when YOU can thus get well. at my risk.
l have written an important Treatise
on Rheumatism, telling OF its relief and
cure.
IL Is free 10 Rheumatic people.
