MUTISM Rubbing with, liniments, blistering the affected parts, the application of plasters, and other means of external treatment, are usually, helpful in relieving the -";s and aclies of Rheumatism, but such remedies do not reach the CAL . , of tho diseafc, and are therefore in no sense curative Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by indigestion, poor hovrel action, weak kidneys, and a general sluggish condition ofth system. The circulation deposits this irritating poison in the different muscles, nerves, tissues and joints of the body, and soon the painful symptoms of Rheumatism are produced. The pains at first may be wandering and slight ; but as the blood becomes mqre fully saturated with the uric acid poison, the disease grows worse and after awhile gets to be chronic. The slight, wander ing pains now become sharp and cutting at the least exposure to dampness or night air, or any constitutional irregularity, the bones ache, the murc!es are not as free in action as before", and where the acid poison is allowed to remain in the blood the ioints often become so clogged with corrosive sub stances that they are left permanently stiff and useless. Rheumatism can never be rubbed away, nor can it be conquered and driven from the system 1 PURELY VEGETABLE disease has been removed. Special book on Rheumatism and anv medical advice dtsired free.
