Get Rid Os Rheumatism
Rubbing with liniments, blistering the affected parts, the application
of plasters, and other means of external treatment, are usually helpful in
relieving the pains and aches of Rheumatism. But such treatment does
net get rid of the disease, because it does not reach its source. Rheuma
tism conies from an excess of uric acid in the blood. This acid circulating
through the system acts as an irritant to the nerves, musclesand joints,
and produces the inflammation and swelling, and sharp cutting pains char
acteristic of the trouble. When the blood is overburdened with uric acid
it continually grows thinner and more acrid, and
XlOwfoh, poorer in nourishing qualities. Then Rheumatism
becomes chronic and not only a painful but a dan-
