WHAT TEA DOES TO RHEUMATICS, i When you next take tea, think of this. Tea contains 175 grains of Uric Acid in every pound. Meat contains only five to seven grains. Rheumatism is Uric Acid in the blood.. UrJe Acid accumulates from food when the digestive apparatus cannot create enough Alkaline elements (like soda) to neutralize It. This Acid collects urea, or worn-out waste matter, from the system. - That Urea enters the blood when Alkaline action has not previously dissolved It. By and by the waste matter reaches the joints and muscles, through circulation of the blood. N There it gradually deposits In solid particles, like granulated sugar. These solid particles grind between the Joints and muscles at every movement. This grinding causes irritation and pain. These in turn may develop inflammation and swelling. That inflammation bestirs Nature to help herself. She proceeds to coat the hard Uric particles over with cushions of pulpy mucous, like the first healing strata of an outer core. This pulpy covering grows to the bones, as well as to the particles deposited. There It hardens like plaster or sealing wax. Then we have "bony Joints," almost Inflexible, and usually fixed in a bended position, from the pain and inflammation. That is Rheumatism at Its worst. It is bad enough before it gets that far. There Is but one sure way of curing Rheumatism. The first step is to neutralize the Uric Acid already in the system. Next, to dissolve and carry away the hard deposits that grind between the Joints. Then get the digestive apparatus into such healthy condition that it will, unaided, produce less Uric Acid, and more Alkalines. This la what doctors generally have failed to do. It Is what I studied a lifetime to accomplish, and achieved only after many failures and thousands of experiments. At last I found, in Germany, a solvent which was not only effective, but absolutely safe to use. Few agents powerful enough to be effective In Rheumatism are safe. My discovery, now called "Dr. Snoop's Rheumatic Cure." acts directly, but Interpally, upon Uric Acid In the Joints and muscles. It dissolves and carries off the painful deposits, producing an Immediate Alkaline condition of the blood, and neutralizing the Acid In it which would have fed the Rheumatism and extended the disease. It won't restore bony Joints to flexibility, and It can't undo, in a week, the damage caused by years of rheumatic condition. But it will benefit every case, and "it will entirely cure most cafes of Rheumatism. So sure am I of this, that I will supply Dr. Shoop s Rheumatic Cure to any sick one who writes me for it, on a month's trial, at my risk. '. If It succeeds, the cost to him Is only for the six-bottle treatment. If it falls, I bear the whole cost myself. Andh alone hall be the Judge shall decid who shall pay. Surely you will not continue to suffer when you can thus get well, at my risk. I have written an important treatise on Rheumatism, telling of its relief and cure. It U fr to Rheumatic people. Write me a post card for it to-day. Address Dr. Snoop. Box 371). Racine, Wis. P. Si Sim?l: casts ofen fie'd to one bottle of Or. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure (Druggists Si.)
