WHAT TEA DOES To
RHEUMATICS.

When you next take tea. think OF this.
Tea contains 10 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 QiBe soda) 10

This Acid collects urea, or worn-out
waste matter. from the system.
That Urea enters the blood when Aka
line acton has not previously dissolved 1t.
BY and by the waste matter reaches the
Joints and muscles. through circulation Of
the blood
There is gradually deposits in solid par
ticles. like granulated sugar.
These solid particles grind between the
Joints ana muscles at every movement.
This grinding causes Irritation and pain.
These in turn may develop Inflammation

like the first healing strata OF an outer
sore.
This pulpy covering grows TO the bones,
as well as 10 the particles deposited. There
it hardens like plaster or sealing wax.
Then We have "bony Joints almost in
flexible, and usually fixed in bended posi-
ton, from the pain and Inflammation.
That is rheumatism at its worst.
1t 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.
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. unaId-
ed, produce less Uric Acid. and more
Alkalines.
This is what doctors generally have
failed TO do.
It is what l studied a lifetime TO ac-
complish, and achieved only after many
failures and thousands OF experiments.

Few agents powerful enough to be ef-
fective in rheumatism are safe.

deposits, producing an immediate Alkaline
condition of the blood, and neutraiizing
the Acid in 1t which would have fed the
rheumatism and extended the disease.
