INDIGESTION
AND
RHEUMATISM
People With Good Digestion
Do Not Have Rheu-
matism

The blood is the product of digestion.
Whatever sort of food is digested in the
stomach is absorbed into the blood. If
the food il badly digested this is also abb
sorbed into the blood. III the food
sours in the stomach before
digestion or during digestion, the acids
are absorbed into the blood.
These acids in the blood produce a
condition known as rheumatism. The
acids are liable to produce microscopic
crystals. These crystals are deposited
in the ligaments and eartilages, causing
rheumatism of the joints. Sometimes in
the bones, producing periodic pains every
time storm approaches. Sometimes
nj the muscles, producing lumbago, stiff
neck, myalgia, and muscular rheumatism

Pe-ru-na Corrects Digestion.
The reason that Pe.ru.na relieves such
cases is easy TO understand. Pe.ru-na
corrects digestion. Pe-ru-na corrects di.
gestion partly by hurrying it. Pe.ru-na
does not furnish any artificial digestant,
il simply assists nature in doing its own
digesting.
In this way the products of digestion
are more normal. The blood is not filled
with imperfectly digested food. No acids
accumulate in the stomach while Peru
ma is being taken. Thus rheumatism is
prevented
II is great deal better to prevent
disease than TO try to cure it, But even
after rheumatism has begun, the condi- |
ton that caused it ought to be removed
if possible.
Good Digestion Stops Rheumatism.
The first thing to do is to secure
good digestion. then if it is necessary !
specific medicines for rheumatism may |
be taken. But until the digestion is |
made perfect, it is of little or no use
to take medicines for rheumatism. To /
produce good digestion, Pe-runa should
be taken.

suicide?
The statistics of the health de-
partment present a very serious
condition in this city for there
were 135 fewer babies bore IN
the year 1912 than in 1911 de-
spite the natural growth of the
city and the evident increase N
adult population. Deaths have
steadily increased every year.
The figures show in fact that
the births for 1912 are fewer than
for four years. Those of 1911,
1910, 1909, all exceeded last year.
Last years record shows 705
girl babies to 69S boys which is
keeping pretty near even on sex.
But death disturbed the equasion,
however, for of the 952 deaths
last year COS were males and
$40 females, the males almost
doubling the females.
This disparity was kept up
right to the last for in December
81 males died to only 21 females.
March is the big month in the
birth list. There were 165 ba-
bies that month, So boys and so
girls. August came second.
With the births dropping off
at least $50 or just about 10 per
cent from what they normally
should have been in 1912, with
divorces increasing and insanity
gaining over 10 per cent in situa-
tion in Tacoma is one that pre-
sents a profitable field for the
sociologist to investigate.
