The deposits of Uric Acid formed in Rheumatic diseases, settle easiest and
quickest where the circulation is the poorest. It is therefore, advisable to
use an embrocation in conjunction with the internal treatment in order to
improve the circulation and draw the blood to the parts that are painful and
stiff.

Liniment, Formula No. 264, will be of great help to promote better circulation. It helps to relieve pain, stiffness, lameness, weakness and swelling of muscles and joints that make Rheumatism so unpleasant and
troublesome.

This liniment can also be used with good results where a lack of circulation
has been caused by a blow, stretching, twisting, sprains or bruises and where
stiffness in neck, limbs and muscles is due to cold.

It must not be overlooked that opening the pores of skin by sweating is very important in Rheumatism. Formula No. 57: Diaphoretic or Sweat Producing Tea, Strong or Formula No. 58: Diaphoretic or Sweat Producing Tea, Mild should therefore also be used in conjunction with Formula No. 261: For Rheumatism.
