Is due to an acid poison which gains access to the blood through failure of tbe proper organs to carry off and keep the system clear of all morbid, effete matter. This poison through the general circulation is deposited in tbe joints, muscle and nerves, causing the most intense pain. Rheumatism may attack with such suddenness and severity at to make within a few days a healthy, active person helpless and bed-ridden, with distorted limbs and shattered nerves ; or it may be slow in developing, with slight wandering pains, just severe enough to make one feel uncomfortable ; the ten dency in such cases is to grow worse, and finally become chronic. Like other blood diseases, Rheumatism is often inherited, and exposure to damp or cold, want of proper food, insufficient clothing, or anything calculated to impair the health, will frequently cause it to develop in early life, but more often not until middle aire or later.
