The Real Cause of Aching Joints

rheumatism is a favorite name for
pains that rack the back, the joints
the limbs, and almost any other part
A good deal Of the pain that is laid
TO rheumatism is really due to kidney
weakness, and an excess Of uric acid in
the blood. When the blood is over
loaded with uric acid, it forms into
crystals, which are deposited in the
muscles, joints, along the walls of the
arteries, and in the sheaths of nerves
The movement of a nerve or muscle
that contains uric acid crystals causes
sharp, intense. darting pains and in
time starts inflamed swellings.
Uric acid has a great liking for the
joints, and often combines with other
chemicals into chalky or stony parti-
Giles. These deposits stiffen the joints,
making them extremely painful, and
IN severe cases changing the bones.
Rheumatic pain in the thigh is called
sciatica: in the muscles of the back,
lumbago; in the face, neuralgia, in
various other locations, neuritis. AS
ISOLATED diseases are gravel, govt,
dropsy and heart trouble.
Certainly, good kidney medicine
must be beneficial, and that is why
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped 80
many cases Of rheumatic pain and
