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. WORKOUT waste
matter, from the system.
That Urea enters the blood when Alkaline
action has not previously dissolved IL.
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 PUPPY mucous,
like the first healing strata of an outer
sore.
This pulpy covering grows to the bones,
as well as to the particles deposited. There
1t hardens like plaster or sealing wax. Then
we have "bony joints" almost inhexible,
and usually fixed in Bonded position, from
the pain and Inflammation.
That is Rheumatism at its worst.
II is bad enough before IL gets that far.
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 Alkalines.
This is what doctors generally have failed
10 do.
1t is what 1 studied lifetime to accom-
plish. and achieved only after many fall
ures and thousands of experiments.
At last / found. in Germany, a solvent
which was not only effective. but absolutely
safe 10 use.
Few agents powerful enough to be effect
i've in Rheumatism are safe.
My discovery. now called "Dr. Shops
Rheumatic Cure, acts directly. but inter-
nally, upon Uric Acid in the joints and mus
cles.
1t dissolves and carries of the painful
deposits, producing an immediate Alkaline
condition OF the blood and neutralizing the
Acid in IT which would have fed the Rheu-
matism and extended the disease.
1t won't restore bony joints to fexibility,
and II cant undo. in a week, the damage
caused by years OF rheumatic condition.
But il will benefit every case. and il will
entirely cure most cases of Rheumatism
SO sure am 1 OF this. that | will supply
Dr. Shops Rheumatic Cure TO any sick one
who writes me for IL, on a months trial,
at my risk.
II IL succeeds, the cost 10 him is only
$3.50 for the six-bOttle treatment.
II IL fails, / bear the whole cost myself
And-he alone shall be the judge-shall
decide who shall pay.
Surely you will not continue TO suffer
when you can thus get well, at my risk.
/ have written an important treatise on
rheumatism, telling OF its relief and cure.
Ii Is free 10 Rheumatic people.
Write me a post card for IL to-day.
