Rensselaer Republican, Volume 16, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 November 1883 — A HUMAN FIRE. [ARTICLE]

A HUMAN FIRE.

The Phenomenon of a Burning Mine Repeated in the Physical System. A few years ago oiie of the most important coal mines In Pennsylvania caught fire. It started slowly, but soon obtained such headway that it spread through the greater portion of the entire mine. To flood it with water would extinguish the fire but well nigh ruin the mine; and still the flames continued to increase. At that Juncture a young man stepped forward and suggested that all the entrances and vent holes of the miue be covered and secured, thus shutting off the supply of air. His advice was followed and the flames were finally subdued. To compare the condition of this mine with many phases of the human system is most natural and appropriate. “ Fire in the blood'* is not a mere expression, it is a most serious fact. How it originates it may be impossible to sav; but „hat it burns and rages with an '.lncreasing fury, the one who is its victim only too painfully knows. The blood is the ltfe. It is designed by nature to purify, strengthen and sustain the system. It is too often made the channel through which poison and death are transported. Poisonous acids coming through the veins and arteries inflame and cause a Are Just as real as the one which existed in the mine. They burn and irritate, causing the brain to* become weak and the nerves unstrung; they carry pains to the muscles and leave agonies in the Joints; they bring destruction instead of strength; they devastate the very portions of the body that most require help, and they hasten the approach of death in its most horrible form. These thing have been felt by innumerable people who have been the victims of rheumatic disorders, and the agonies they have endured confirm this description. There is but one way by which this fire in the blood can be extinguished, and that is by shutting off the supply of these poisonous acids. The lactic, lithic and uric acids come into the blood through the liver and kidneys, and they remain in solution in the blood producing inflammatory rheumatism,, sciatica, lumbago, neuralgia, gout and all rheumatio fevers and affections. When they are deposited as gritty crystals In and near the Joints, they cause articular rheumatism; when In the muscles, muscular rheumatism and lumbago; when in the tissues covering the nerves, sciatica; when in the face, head and nerves generally, neuralgia. In every cqse they are painful; In most Instances, dangerous. Inflammatory rheumatism is likely to locate iu some Joint and become chronic, or suddenly attack the brain or heart, causing apoplexy or heart disease. The Are in the blood must be extinguished—the supply must be shut off. to the blood—the kidneys and liver; and no means has ever been found for accomplishing this which can equal Warner’s Safe Rheumatic Cure. It acts directly upon the scat of the disorder; it extinguishes the fire by controlling the supply and removing tne cause. The well-known standing of H. H. Warner & Co., of Rochester, N, Y., the remarkable success which Warner’s Safe Cure has achieved, being indorsed by no less a personage than Dr. Robert A. Gunn, Dean of the United States Medical College, New York, and the fidelity with whioh they have carried out all their promises to the public, should be a sufficient warrant that the above statements are true. They, however, guarantee to cure 95' per cent, of all rheumatic troubles, especially acute, knowing full well that the demonstrated power of the remedy justifies them in so doing. Nothing can be fairer than this, and those who suffer in future from rheumatism with Such an offer before them, do so on their own responsibility, and can blame no one if living pain and untimely death are the results.
