RHEUMATISM is not a disease of bone, or of tendons and ligaments. It
is simply and absolutely nothing more nor less than an inflammation of what
is called the fibrous tissue — a tissue or membrane full of little fibres or threads
lying around and near to the joints of the body, and among the tendons and
ligaments as well as some of the internal organs. When this tissue becomes
suddenly inflamed, until the muscles at the joints are very red, swollen and
tender, so that it is impossible to move the limbs, and when you have a
high fever and cannot bear to be touched, you have Acute or Inflammatory
Rheumatism. When you become gradually lame in parts of the body,
showing that the fibrous tissue is slightly inflamed, and that the heat is dry¬
ing up the fluid or natural oil that lubricates or ciu the joints, and you have
repeated attacks every time you get cold or wet, you have Chronic Rheuma¬
tism. The immediate cause of both kinds is exposure to cold and damp¬
ness, hence poor laboring people are most frequently the sufferers. The
primary cause, however, is frequently impurity of the blood, debility from
indigestion and exhaustion, and loss of the natural magnetism or electric
force of the system. To correct these conditions is the great necessity, and
this has been attained to perfection in the great discovery of J3r.
