Will Lime Juice Help Your Rheumatism?

T IME juice is recommended as an
antidote for uric acid and a cure
for rheumatism. The lime is a
small fruit, resembling the lemon, large.
ly grown in the West Indies, and known
mostly to Americans as an ingredient
of the drink known as .rickey.s
Lime juice becomes in the blood a.
powerful alkali. 1t is said to be the only
fruit Juice that bears this distinction, diff.
fering radically in this respect from the
lemon and other citrus fruits A table.

night is said to be enough to dissolve all

Its effects are said often to become
manifest within thirty minutes after talk.
ing
Uric acid is supposed by doctors to
be the great cause for rheumatism 1t
Is produced by most OF the foods and
all alcoholic drinks. Even the milk and
vegetable diets produce it, but in les
ser degree than meats.
Ono scientist who has tested the merits
of lime juice urges that corporations and
municipalities ought to be compelled by
law to serve it to laborers suffering from
rheumatic pains as a result of exposure
to cold and dampness. The cost would
more than pay for itself Not ONLY
would the laborer perform more work.

cause OF the relief to his system.
The man who urges this was under
treatment for alleged rheumatism for a
hong time. and was getting steadily
worse. He had his blood examined by a
bacteriologist, who diagnosed the case
as neuritis He went under treatment by
an expert. His left arm had become

He is forty years old, athletic in a typical J
rich outdoor mans way, and excels at
squash racquets besides riding we'll and

The new Mrs. Spear will not find big
city residence awaiting her return from the
honeymoon, the Spear residence being at
Wallingford, the suburban section most
affected by Philadelphia intellectuals and
the literary colony. The Racquet Club has
been Mr.. Spears city home, but possibly
the new chorus girl bride may. have other
ideas in that regard when the honeymoon

Of English noblemen. chorus girls adapt

Doubtless Helen Louise Moyer-Spear will

the marital knot tied was apparent from
scene earlier in the day at the Marriage
License Bureau at the New York City
Hall. While Miss Meyer waited in an
automobile outside Mr. Spear appeared
breathlessly before Clerk Edward Hunt
Just as the latter was about to close mis-
Office for the day and asked for a mar.
rage license, naming the contracting par
ties.
Obligingly the clerk went on filling out
the blank, but when he came TO the cues
ton about previous marriage" there was
hitch. Mr.. Spear did not have with him
certified copy Of his divorce decree
granted five years ago. In this exgency
Clerk Hunt was helpless
Mr.. Spear, more in hurry than before,
appealed to City Clerk Scully. 81 promise
TO send you the divorce decree copy at the
earliest possible moment" he said. On
this agreement Clerk Scully granted the
license. Manifestly relieved, Mr.. Spear
re-entered his machine and disappeared
with his bride in cloud of dust

Henry. They were married at Cambridge.
Nd, in 1903, and in January, 1908, Mrs.

girl of ten years. was given to the mother,
who now is Mrs. Henry Robertson, of Bal
timore. Judge Breezy, in the Philadelphia
Divorce Court, set aside a fund of $4,000
year for the support OF this child. The
little girl bears her fathers name, being
known as Louise Henry Spear
The divorce proceedings and a legal bat
tie over the matter of this child's support
lasted more than two years. He fought
every inch of the way first for the
divorce and then to be freed from liability
under his fathers Will for the support of
his child after his divorced wife had re-
married.
Since the collapse Of his first matrmo-
NAL venture Mr. Spear has spent most Of
his time in his clubs-the Racquet the
Markham, the University Che is an 'O2 Of
Princeton), the Rose Tree and The PhIa-
delphia Country Club.
Doubtless certain activities of Mr.. Smear
in other directions will appeal powerfully
TO his chorus girl wife--he is an exceed.
ingly clever amateur actor, in great de.
mand for society performances for charity,
and is in still greater demand at other so.

Among other things the treatment in.
Guided medicines totalling 60 grains per
day. AT The end Of nine months, his left
arm had Decn restored to a normal con.
dltion. the intense pains had gone, the
internal organs had all resumed their
functions and he weighed twelve pounds
more than ever before in his life. Out
warply he had resumed perfect health.
But the painless hand continued to
tremble. ut times so that he could hold
nothing in it, and he had several daily
spasms of neurosis-that Is severe cramps

joints and feet.
One hot day last August this man
entered drug store and asked the man.

mended lime juice
"ltiin ten minutes after drinking this
one glass of lime juice the trembling and
cramps III the mans hands disappeared
and did not return again that day. When
thcy did return the next day, he imbibed
another drink oil the mixture and they
promptly ceased.
Since Ell he has eXtinguished count
less attacks in the joints, head, nerves or
elsewhere Dy the use of lime Juice. He
has also suggested the remedy to many
fellow sufferers who have all reported the
same beneficent results
1t must be understood, say those who
advocate the use OF the juice, that IL
will at first produce only gradual cure
for chronic sufferers. Those old Jumps
of solicited uric acid in the joints mus
first b dissolved and carried out of the
system. Having got rid of these Jumps,
there Will soon come a sudden end of
the whole business. After that, the at
lacks can be met with nearly instant
relief, whenever they occur, by simply
taking little lime juice.
