RAINY WEATHER PAINS

Many people boast of the fact
that they can tell when storm is
approaching by a change of feeling
which comes over them or by some
ache or pain in some portion OF
their anatomy. Such people should
not be proud Of the fact that they
are good barometers, and will be
surprised to learn that the reason
they are so sensitive to changes in
the weather is because they are
suffering from some vicious toxe-
mia which is poisoning the body.
Many animals have the faculty Of
perceiving barometric depression
indicating the approach Of storm
but the reason they can foresee' bad
weather is because their systems
are so sensitive to any change in
nature. All animal life is con-
stantly fighting aginst the ele-
ments and destructive forces Of ma
ture, and animals, guided only by
instinct, are protected in a measure
50 that they can take the necessary
precaution in view Of the approach
ing storm. Flies will gather around
the door to seek shelter at the
slightest danger Of rain. Bees will
return to their hives only partially
loaded with honey. Ants will bury
themselves in the ground, and dogs
will set up whining.
When man is affected by an APP
preaching change in the weather,
his corns will hurt, or rheumatic
joint will start aching. These pains
come on because elimination is in
terfered with on account of the
humidity in the air, and as blan-
ket of fog or even invisible mist
descends upon the earth those PEG
pie who are already toxic will find
all their pains are becoming exag-
gerated on account of the extra
amount Of repression of elimination,
due to the moist air.
If the pores Of the body could be
entirely stopped for four minutes
it would not be possible for one to
live, for if all the radiation of poison
from the skin were suddenly
stopped the body could not stand the
excessive poisoning which would re-
suit. As the barometer falls, these
pores become partially stopped, for
the moisture from the body will not
eliminate as completely if the air is
full Of an unusual amount of mois-
ture. All nervous neople will be-
come more nervous and irritable un-
der such conditions, and one suf-
fering from any disease will find
his symptoms more acute at that
time.
One experience of realizing that
you are a good "health barometer"
should suggest to you that it is nec-
essary for you to study the causes
which have produced the poisoned
state of your blood, making you so
sensitive to changes in the weather. !
All eliminative functions should be
stimulated, and every effort made |
to stop further interference with
elimination. The diet should be
properly regulated, and physical
exercise taken vigorously enough to
induce copious perspiration daily.

awakening of the forest, where black, barren
branches suddenly become clothed in delicate
green mists.
But we know spring is here, just the same.
Spring is an insidous thing; it steals into our
