If you will get it fixed in your mind that in many forms Rheu- matism is a blood disease and cannot be cured by local treat ment, you will then by proper treatment begin to get the per manent relief you have been seeking for so many years.
 Tn this article we want to ex- plain to you the cause of this most painful of all diseases, also offer suggestions, founded on reason and long years of ex- perience, which will enable you to secure the right treat ment if you are afflicted with anyof the various forms of Rheumatism.
 Rheumatism is often a spe- cific blood fermentation, a souring of the circulation from an excess of uric acid accumu- lating in the blood stream. This uratic impurity comes usually as a result of constipation, weak kidneys, indigestion and stom- ach disturbances. These sys. temic 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 prevents the proper removal of the waste products. This refuse remains in the stomach and bowels, and souring forms uric acid, which the blood quickly absorbs.
 Rheumatism is usually mani fested in the joints and mus cles. It is here it's sharpest twinges of pain are felt, and stiffening of fragments and ten dons first commence. The pain of Rheumatism is caused by the contact of the sensory nerves with the gritty, acrid formation which uric acid causes to accumulate in the corpuscles of the blood about the joints. The stiffening of muscles and joints is usually gradual. Constantly the blood
