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 Qike soda) to
neutralize it.
This Acid collects urea or WORKOUT waste
matter. from the system.
That Urea enters the blood when Alkaline
action has not previously dissolved it.
BY and by the waste matter reaches the
joints and muscles, through circulation OF
the blood
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,

IL Is bad enough before it gets that far.
There is but one sure way of curing
Rheumatism. The first step is to neutraIize
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 il will, unaided, produce less
Uric Acid, and more Alkalines.
This is what doctors generally have failed
10 do.
