HUMAN BAROMETERS
A Rheumatic Mystery.

Here are some marvels of medicine!
A dose Of Aconite will climax at three
o'clock in the morning.
Aloes will operate at o'clock a. M and
Sulphur at II o'clock.
No matter what time, in the preceding
day. you have taken these medicines they
will climax at the fixed hours here stated
and reveal certain symptoms always.
How do you account for this?

Rheumatism is simply Uric Acid in the
blood. Can Uric Acid have its time limit
like other chemicals. but rejecting back
ward like barometer?
Uric Acid Is due to a lack of Alkaline
material In the blood. This ACID absorbs
the debris, or waste matter, of the system.
It carries the waste matter into the
blood. when there is not enough Alkaline
elements (like salt or soda) to neutralfze
the Uric Acid. and to free the debris be-
fore 1t reaches the kidneys.
As the blood circulates through the sys-
tenn, 1t then deposits small particles Of this
waste matter in the joints and muscles.
These particles are like granulated sugar
or sand, and they grind between the joints
and muscles at every movement.
This grinding causes intense pain and
inflammation, frequently. If the disease be
not checked the Inflammation will cause
the Uric acid particles to be coated with a
fleshy cushion, which In time grows to
the joints as well. Then 'bony joints
and crooked limbs ensue.
The only way to cure Rheumatism IS tc
convert the Acid condition Of the blood
into an Alkaline. Then, to dissolve, and
carry away the deposits in joints and
muscles.
Then, to get the digestive organs into
a normal condition, so they will secrete
without further help, less acid and more
Alkaines. Upon this condition depends
cure, and the permanence of cure. But
1t Is useless to kill rheumatism If we also
kill the stomach in doing SO.
Few drugs powerful enough to dissolve
Uric Acid deposits are safe to take into
the stomach. That Is why so called 'quicl
cures" are dangerous.
Rheumatism is slowly acquired, and so
a cure cannot be expected in few weeks
treatment. and never by external appica

cure is safety,-the second. effectiveness
the third, permanence.
