OF course everyone Is familiar with
the suffering which the rheumatic
has to endure as winter comes on. and
the intensity and regularity of his
pains The disease seems to take on
added severity at this season, and the
little PAIN demons run rampant in
their frenzied delight,
why is it that so many people fall
victims to these diseases. while 9TH
ers escape unharmed? Isn't It true
that everyone is equally exposed to
attack?
This is a very natural question, and
the answer is easily arrived at by a
little logical reasoning.
II is quite true that practically
everyone is equally exposed TO the
dangers of disease. You are just as
liable to be attacked as the man or
woman sitting next to you on the
street car. II all depends upon the
condition of your blood supply.
II your blood is thin and impover-
ished and has been allowed TO reach
n Tow state by the accumulation OF
impurities. YOU have not sufficient vi
tality to resist these germ attacks and
they find fertile field in your sys-
| tenn to spread disease.
