RHEUMATISM LUMBAGO & SCIATICA THE attacks are generally brought on by chills when the body is: overheated, or by exposure to damp or cold draughts, which act, not upon the bones or muscles, but upon the uric acid in the blood, which is the cause of the disease. Uric acid is found in small quantities in many articles of diet, which, when consumed, pass into the blood. The failure of the liver and kidneys to filter and absorb this acid leads to an accumulation in the system, tends to clog the circulation and harden the tissues forming the blood vessels; thus, every movement of the affected <parts causes you intense agony. The pains are affected more or less by cold or heat. A damp day will doubl? you up, or the warmth of the. bed will intensify the pain. In order to effectually overcome this complaint, Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills and Comstock's Nerve and Bone Liniment should be used as directed. These two remedies have been highly successful in all kinds of Rheumatism, because one cleanses the blood, while the powerful, penetrating influences of the Liniment, acting through the pores of the skin on the nerves, bones and muscles, .overcome the pain by relieving the effect on the delicate nerves and causing the circulation of the blood to be maintained through the affected parts. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills I Comstock's is"."® Liniment
