RHEUMATISM A MYSTERY.
Thu Trouble; s Rooted in the Blood and
Can Only be -Cared by En-
riching the Stood.
Some diseases give immunity • from
another attack, but rheumatism works
just the other way. Every attack of
rheumatism invites another; worse than
that, it reduces the body's power so that
each attack is worse than the one be-
fore.
If any disease needs curing early it is
rheumatism, but there is scarcely any
disease that physicians find more difficult
to treat successfully. When a medicine
does cure 'rheumatism, therefore, it is
worthy of spectal notice. Medical
authorities agree that the Mood
becomes thin with alarming
rapidity as rheumatism develops. Main-
taining the quality of the blood is there-
fore a reasonable way of preventing and
combatting rheumatism. That it works
out in fact is shown by the beneficial
effects which follow the treatment of
rheumatism, acute, muscular and antic-
ular, with that great blood tonic, 1)r.
