rheumatism is Uric Acid in the blood.
Uric Acid accumulates from food when
the digestive apparatus cannot create
enough Alkaline elements Cliks soda) to
neutralize IL.
This Acid collects urea. or worn-out
waste matter. from the system
That Urea enters the blood when Aka
line action has not previously dis

BY and by the waste matter reaches
the joints and muscles. through circula-
tion of the blood.
There 1t gradually deposits IN solid
particles. like granulated sugar.
These solid particles grind between
