The aches and pains Of Rheumatism are only symptoms which may

exposure to dampness, or a n attack Of Indigestion, the nagging pains, sore
muscles and tender places on the flesh return. and the sufferer finds that he
has merely checked the symptoms while the real cause remains in the system.
The causeo of Rheumatism is q too acid condition Of The btoed, brought on BY
indigestion, chronic constipation, weak Kidneys, and a general sluggish
condition Of the system. Waste matter collects in the system each day
which nature intends shall be carried of, but when It's left because of a
sluggish condition of the system it sous and forms uric and other acids
