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

The blood is the product Of diges-
tion. Whatever sort of food il d.
gested in the stomach Is absorbed
into the blood If the food is badly
digested this is also absorbed into
the blood If the food sours In the
stomach before digestion or during
digestion, the acids are absorbed in
to the blood.
These acids in the blood produce a
condition known as rheumatism. The
acids are liable to produce micro
scopic crystals. These crystals are
deposited in the ligaments and carti-
lagos, causing rheumatism of the
Joints. Sometimes in the bones. pro-
ducing periodic pains every time a
storm approaches. Sometimes in the
muscles, producing lumbago, stiff
neck, myalgia, and muscular rheu-
matism generally.
Peru ma corrects Digestion.
The reason that Pe-ru-na relieves
such cases Is easy to understand.
Pe-ru-na corrects digestion. Pe-ru-na
corrects digestion partly by hurrying
It. Pe-ru-na does not furnish any ar
tificial digestant, it simply assist
Nature in doing its own digesting.
In this way the products of diges-
ton are more normal. The blood is
mot filled with imperfectly digested
4 food. No acids accumulate in the
stomach while Pe-ru-na is being
taken. Thus rheumatism is prevented.
It is a great deal better to prevent
a disease han to try to cure it. But
even after rheumatism has begun the
condition that caused it ought to be
| removed if possible.
Good Digestion Stops Rheumatism.
The first thing to do is to secure
coed 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 nc
use to take medicines for rheumatism
To produce good digestion Pe-ru-ns
! should be taken.
