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 can not
create enough alkaline elements dixie
6oda) to neutralise 1t.
This acid collects urea, or worn
out waste matter. from the system.
That urea enters the blood when
alkaline action has not previously dis
solved it.
BY and by the waste matter reaches
the joints and muscles, through cir
culation of the blood
There 1t gradually deposits in solid
particles. like granulated sugar.
These solid particles grind between
the Joints and muscles at every move
ment.
This grinding causes irritation and
pain.
These in turn may develop infiam-
nation and swelling. That inflamma-
ton bestirs Nature to help herself
She proceeds to coat the hard uric
particles over with cushions of pulpy
mucous. like the first healing strata
of an outer sore.
This pulpy covering grows to the
bones. as we'll as to the particles de-
posted. There it hardens like plas-
ter or sealing wax. Then we have
"bony joints" almost inflexible, and
usually fixed in Bonded position,
from the pain and Inflammation.
That is rheumatism at it's worst.
1t is bad enough before 1t gets that
There is but one sure way of curing
rheumatism. The first step is to
neutralize the uric acid already in
the system. Next, to 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 aka
lines.
This is what doctors generally have
failed to do.
1t is what I studied a lifetime to
accomplish, and achieved only after
many failures and thousands of ex-
periments.

Few agents powerful enough to be
effective in rheumatism are safe.

1t dissolves. and carries off the
painful deposits, producing an i'm

blood, and neutralizing the acid in it
which would have fed the rheuma-
