Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
an<t distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves Tho blood has
been poisoned by tbe accumulation of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain

feels the effect of this acid poison; and
not until the blood lias been purified and
brought I>ack to a healthy condition will
the aches anil pains cease.

says:
"An examination of the hour of death

( a. m. and nom. >1 per cent between
r.oon and p. m and 24 per cent, between

the statement, which I nm ahoni io '

of three hours each, that the highest
point of the curve was reached, both for |
men and women, between the hours of

the death* having occurred between those
hours The nest highest point was be- !
tween thk hours of 3 and 8 a m although J
