WHAT IS RHEUMATISM?

It is claimed by meilical authorities tliat Rheumatism and its allied diseases is the most prevalent of ■ all human ailments, with, perhap6,' the exception of: lung troubles. The malady takes many forms, and difforfi much in its various stages of development. It may start with a derangement of the liver or kidneys, due to a disordered stomach, arisinc from exposure, improper food, or over-indulgence; or it may he caused by a thickening of the blood in a certain part of the body, induced by (exposure of the part to cold or dampness. The blood becomes charged with impurities, and little granules form, -which find lodgment'in constricted portious of - tho veins, near the joints and under cartilaginous bands or ligaments..' Being, .viscid or sticky, these little granules: stick- together as they strike each other. "Ono lodges in a narrow place in a vein. Another presently comes along and .sticks to it. Then another and another, until the pile begins to press on the nerveß and causes pain. Sometimes the swellings assume huge dimensions,' and one after.'another the joints becoihe cemented over until- they are perfectly rigid. All this takes time, of course, and the victim suffers excruciating agony at the oLightest attempt to move, Many persons have an inherited tendency to this fell disease, and all such 6honld bo very careful of their diet and avoid constipation, which is a serious matter to rheumatic constitutions. But however caused or whatever form it takes, - the disease is a blood trouble, and can only be cured by the purification of ' the blood and the elimination from this system of these chemical deposits. Hitherto many victims have been condemned to suffer for years and years, helpless cripples, until death relieved' them of their sufferings, because there was no known cure for certain forms of the disease. But a remedy has recently been discovered in a most Temarkable manner, .which has upset all tho calculations of the medical profession.
