IS MAN A BAROMETER.

Why is It That Certain Winds Always Make Rheumatics Cringe With Pain? Eighty-six per sent, of the signal service weather predictions are accurate! The only indication our fathers had for foretelling weather were aching limbs, twinging joints ami painful corns! These, though crude, were usually correct. The body is unquestionably an excellent barometer, and physicians often prescribe a change of air, so that the system may find an agreeable atmospheric condition. Weather changes indicate themseves by pains called rhenmatism. Wfiy bad weather should cause such pains Is a mystery 1 Does the pain really lie dormant in the blood, to be madeactive only when the wind blows from some unfavorabl e quarter? Last week a prominent man left town on a business trip. Two days later he, who had always been apparently strong and well, was sent home a corpse—- “ Rheumatism of the heart!” Rheumatism is like the Indian in ambush, Bure to kill you if not killed by you. It is to patient and physician one of the most vexations of diseases. At first many thought it to be a trouble of the joints, but all outward applications left the cause unbenefitted. Then, making like pains in the muscles, it was thought to be a mnscular disease; but the same unsatisfactory results followed external treatment. Now, however, it is universally acknowledged that rheumatism is “a fiery condition of the blood caused by the presence of uric acid in the systeml” Everybody dreads rheumatism. It is very prevalent at this changing time of the year. It was formerly seldom known except among those who worked much out of doors. Now it invades the hut, the palace, the executive mansion, theßenate chamber and throne room; all sorts and conditions and races of men and women it attacks at all times, and all fear itl Mrs. Swiit (wife of Dr. Lewis Swift, the famous comet finder of Rochester, N. T.) was one of its renent victims; and how very common it is among ladies. She suffered great anguish and feaif Why does the acid remain in the system? The kidneys being diseased aannot remove the acid as in health, hence the system is poisoned hv its presence, and rheumatic pains, stiff joints, tendons and muscles are the results. There is but one scientific treatment, to regulate the kidneys by Warner’s safe cure, and to “put out the fire in the blood” by Warner's safe rheumatic cure. These world renowned remedies, taken by bottles in alteration, as they should be, neutralsze the uric acid already in the blood, and prevent further accumulation. Mrs. Dr. Swift nsad these remedies with great success, in alteration, and was completelv restored to health. We understand that the proprietors guarantee them with the strongest assurances, but this were scarcely necessary, for is not their praise in everybody’s mouth? We canuot prevent the ill wind blowing, but we can get the better of it by so fortifying the system that we can ignore it whdn it is doing the worst to “give us a pain.”
