WHAT TEA DOES TO
RHEUMATlCS.

When Won next take tea, think OF this.
Tea contains It's 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 Qike soda) to
neutralize 1t.
This Acid collects urea, or worn-ous
waste matter, from the system.
That Urea enters the blood when Aka

By and by the waste matter reaches the
Joints and muscles, through circulation Of
the blood.
There is gradually deposits in solid par
ticles, Ike 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 Inflammation
and swelling. That Inflammation oessirs

it hardens like plaster or sealing wax.
Then we have "bony joints" almost In

ton. from the pain and Inflammation.
That is rheumatism at its worst
It is bad enough before It gets that far.
There is but one sure way of curing
rheumatism. The first step is to neutral
ize the Uric Acid already in the system.

failed to do.
1t is what I studied q lifetime to 40
complish, and achieved only after many
failures and thousands Of experiments.
At last 1 found. in Germany. a Solvent
which was not only effective, but ABSOLUTE
ly safe to use.
Few agents powerful enough to be eff
fective in rheumatism are safe.
My discovery, now called "Dr. Shoop's
Rheumatic Cure" acts directly. but in
muscles.
1t dissolves. and carries of. the painful
deposits. producing an immediate Alkaline
condition of the blood, and neutralizing
the Acid in 1t which would have fed the
Rheumatism and extended the disease.
1t won't restore bony joints to hexibility.
and 1t can't undo. in a week. the damage
caused by years Of rheumatic condition.
But 1t will benefit every case. and 1t will
enlirely cure most cases of Rheumatism.
So sure am of this. that 1 will supply
DR.. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure, to any sick
one who writes me for it. on months
trial, at my risk.
If 1t succeeds, the cost to him IL only
$50 for the siX-bottle treatment.
If 1t fails, bear the whole cost myself.
And-he alone shall be the tudge-shau

Surely you will not continue to suffer
when you can thus get well. at my risk.

Rheumatism, telling Of its relief and cure.
1t is free to Rheumatic people.
Write me a post card for It to-day.
