RHEUMATISM
ALMOST AS COMMON IN SUMMER {

While the damp, cold, changing weather of Winter intensihes the pains and other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism, it is by no means winter disease exclusively. Through the long months of Summer its wandering pains and twitcf- ing nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric acid, which produces the disease, has accumulated.
 Rhe1'-'latism is disease that involves the tire syste.A. Its primary cause results from the failure of the elimnatve organs the Liver, Kid neys and Bowels to carry out of the system the urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming Ill contact with the different acids of the body forms uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the blood. This acid causes fermentation of tle blood, making it sour and unfit for properly noursl,;ng the body, and as this vital stream goes to ever nook and corner of the body the poison Is di,cJ- uted to all parts. The nervous system "",1lic1s from lack of rich, pure blood the skin bec;irs fe- verish and swollen, the stomach and diges-or ar: affected, the appetite fails and general dseaseI condition of the entire system Is the result.
