If you will get it fixed in your
mind that in many forms Rheuma-
tism is a blood disease and cannot
be cured by local treatment, you
will then by proper treatment be-
gin to get the permanent relief you
have been seeking fer 50 many
years.
In this article We want to eX-
plain to you the cause of this most
painful Of all diseases, also 1ffer
suggestions. founded on reason and
long years Of experience, which will
enable you to secure the right treat
ment if you are afflicted with any

tism.
rheumatism is often a specific
blood fermentation. a sOuring Of
the circulation from an excess Of
uric acid accumulating in the blood
stream. This uratic lmpurity
comes usually as a result Of con
stipation, weak kidneys. indiges-
ton and stomach disturbances.
These systematic irregularities
may not be Of marked severity or
Of long duration, but each has a
direct effect on the eliminative
members Of the body. which pre-
vents the proper removal Of the
waste products. This refuse re-
mains in the stomach and bowels,
and sounng forms uric acid, which
the blood quickly absOrbs.
Rheumatism is usually mani
tested in the Joints and muscles.
Ii is here its sharpest twlnges Of
pain are felt, ard stiffenIng Of liga-
ments and tendons first commences.
