RHEUMATISM.

LUMBAGO AND SCIATICA.

Tho attacks are generally brought on by chills when tho 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, wlncli when consumed pass into the blood. Tho failure of the liver and kidneys to filter and absorb this acid leads to an accumulation in the system which tends to clog the circulation and harden the tissues forming the blood vessels. Thus every movement of the affected parts causes you intense agon*. The pains are affected more or loss by cold or heat. A damp day will double you up, or tho warmth of the bed will intensify the pain. "I have been troubled with Rheuiuniism ever since I was a youth of 17 (I am now 40)," writes Mr. Hugh Littleton.
