WHAT TEA DOES TO
RHEUMATICS.

When YOU next take tea. think Of this.
Tea contains 175 grains of Uric Acid in
every pound.
Meat contains only five to seven grains.
Rheumatism is Uric Acid in the blood
Uric Acid accumulates from food when
the digestive apparatus cannot create
enough Alkaline elements Oike soda) to
neutKalize it.
This Acid collects urea. or worn-out waste
matter. from the system.
That Urea enters the blood when Alkaline
action has not previously dissolved il.
BY and by the waste matter reaches the
joints and muscles. through circulation of
the blood.
g There it gradually deposits in solid par
ticles, like graduated sugar
These solid particles grind between the
Joints and muscles at every movement
This grinding causes irritation and pain
These in turn may develop inflammation
and swelling. That Inflammation bestirs Ma
ture TO help herself.
She proceeds to coat the hard Uric par
ticles over with cushions of pulpy mucous.
like the first healing strata of an outer
sore.
This pulpy covering grows TO the bones,
as well as to the particles deposited. There
It hardens like plaster or sealing wax. Then
we have "bony joints" almost inhexible,
and usually fixed in a Bonded position. from
the pain and Inflammation.
That is Rheumatism at it's worst
IT Is bad enough before it gets that far.
There is but one sure way of curing
Rheumatism The first step is to neutralize
the Uric Acid already in the system. Next,
10 dissolve and carry away the hard deposits
that grind between the joints. Then get
the digestive apparatus into such healthy
condition that it will. unaided. produce less
Uric Acid, and more Alkalines.
This is what doctors generally have failed
to do.
1t is what / studied a lifetime to accom-
plish, and achieved only after many fail
ures and thousands of experiments.

which was not only effective, but absolutely

My discovery, now called "Dr Shops

I have written an important treatise on
rheumatism. telling of its relief and cure.
