Acute Articular
Rheumatism
The exact cause of rheumatism Is un-
known though It It generally believed to
be due to an excess of uric acid In the blood.
It may be also said with equal truth that no
remedy has been found which Is a speolflo
In all eases. In fact the literature of rhea.
matism shows that there are but few drugs
which have not been given a trial. In the
bands of one observer we find that a certain
drug baa been nsed with the utmost satis-
faotlon;othershavefouhd the tame remedy
to be a great disappointment. All physi-
cians however agree that every method of
treatment is aided by the administration of
some remedy to relieve the pain and quiet
the nervous system and Dr. W. B. Bchultze
expresses the opinion of thousands of prac-
titioners when he says that Antl-Kamnia
Tablets should be given preference over all
other remedies for the relief of the pain in
all forms of rheumatism. These tablets can
