thirty empty barges, two model barges and
three loaded barges she struck a pier of

Crystalized Poison

/ -
You know that hard water leaves q
deposit OF lime in the bottom Of the
tea-kettle In which 1t bofls, and soft
water does not. That Is because soft
water is filtered and contains no lime.
while hard water is not filtered and
II full Of It.
You can imagine that II that de-
post were to settle in the Joint Of
your knee 1t would be extremely palm
ful. And II the deposit grew you
could finally no longer endure the
torture OF walking.
Yet that Is the very way that
Rheumatism begins and ends. Except
that the deposit; which forms Is not
limo but crystalized poison!
For your blood is always full Of
poison--the poison you eat and drink
and breathe into your system. 1t is
the purpose Of the blood to absorb
and carry or this very poison. And
the kidneys, which are the blood fl
ters are expected to cleanse the blood
and send 1t back through the system
clean to gather more poison which,
they. in turn. will eliminate.
But sometimes the kidneys fall.
cause the blood gets so full Of poison
that they can not absorb 1t all. This
10 the start Of rheumatism. The
poison accommodates and crystalizes.
The blood carries the crystals ana
they increase in size. Then. when 1t
can carry them no longer, 1t deposits
them In a joint--on bone-any-
where.
The twinge in your leg-the dull
ache In your arm on rainy day
these are the outward signs of the
unseen crystals. And the twisted
limbs and unspeakable anguish of the
sufferer who has allowed his symp-
toms to go unheeded and unattended
for years-these are the evidences of
what Rheumatism neglected, can do.
Rheumatism includes lumbago,
sciatica. neuralgia. gout-for all
these are the results Of rheumatic
poison In the blood.
Plainly. the first thing to do Is to
remove the poison. But this is not
enough. The formation of the poison
must be stopped, so that nature may
have chance to dissolve and elimi-
nate the crystals which have already
formed. Unless this Is done there
can be no cure--no permanent relief.
