URIC ACID DISEASES
Rheumatism, Gout, equity Eczema, &c.

The diseases under consideration aec caused by an excess of uric acid in the
system. This acid is a product resulting from waste and superfuouS matters in
the blood. If the system becomes generally deranged, plethorc and adpose,
uric acid is generated in excess, and, unless the system is relieved from ii, disease
results as a natural consequence.
The hest method of treating these diseases has hitherto been the resort to
certain mineral springs, mainly on the European Continent Here the patient
drinks several tumtlers daily of more Or less nasty tasting mineral water The
water only holds a limited quantity of the salts in solution, necesStatng very
large quantities being drunk to obtain sufficient dosage.
But what of the man or woman who cannot afford the expense of a Euro
pean health resort anyhow, and what of the Weather and buster patients who
can only afford the necessary time at their holiday season? Naturally enough,
resort is had to the mineral waters bottled at the various springs, and these arc
and ever must be subjected to many disadvantages. At the best a very large
quantity must needs be drunk to attain sufficient dosage.
They are unstable in composition and subectto deterioration from the action
of micro organisms Owing to the large dose they are dear in practice, and
they are, moreover, either nauseousN o unpaatabe to the taste, while being gen.
orally drastic and gripping in action.
The invention of Kutnows Improved Efervescent Powder now remedies
all these disadvantages. BY the deSccaton and concentration of vahua bic min
eal spring salts, and the addition thereto of certain simple ingredients, the v.
tues of the most famous European mineral springs are reproduced, plus several
additional advantages. Kutnows Powder is neither nauSeouS to the taste nor
drastic in action, but, Oh the contrary, palaabe, gentle and effective. Tho
dosage is always uniform and the efficacy always the same. One dose of Kut-
nows Powder represents the mineral spring salts contained in several TASKS of
the bottled waters.
In Uric Acid diseases Kutnows Improved Efervescent Powder acts by dis
solving the uric acid and alkaline formation, and then eliminates the dissolved
products from the system by the excrdory processes. The system being thus
relieved, and the production of uric acid retarded by the stmulatVe and lubi-
cant action of Kutnows Powder on the liver and digestive functions, the patient
speedily finds relief in govt and rheumatism, because the cause of the disease is
removed or its growth retarded.
In Govt, by means of Kutnows Powder and the carrying out Of a phyi-
clans directions as to diet, the patient may so regulate and restore the functions
of normal tissue formations, and so regulate the action of the bowels as to ward
off, mitigate or even prevent an attack.

EELS IN WATER METERS.

In Jersey City Factories.
An accumulation OF eels In the water meters
In Jersey City Is causing a great deal of trouble.
Water Purveyor II. b. Coar reports that he Is
unable to measure the water used by the city's
big consumers because the meters are clogged
by these cells. Mr.. Coar believes the city is
losing thousands of dollars. Supervising En-
gineer William II. Hooker sent a special mes.
sage on the subject to the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners yesterday. in which he
says:
"The evil is becoming serious. These cells
get into the meters from the reservoirs, in which
they are bred. They get out OF tho reservoirs
into the water main because the screens which
are designed to keep back all foreign matter arc
not tight enough 10 prevent them from passing
through the meshes. One way to
the cells and repair the screens would DO to draw
the water In the reservoirs OF, but this would bo
an unwise proceedinR, as the city would be
without water. The other course to pursue Ia
to engage q diver to examine the screens and
see how they can bs repaired without drawing
the water off,"
When the meters are clogged the quantity of
water used Is estimated from data furnished by
the proprietors OF factories. Mayor Hoos and
the Street and Water Commissioners will en-
deavor 10 devise some method OF exterminating
the cells.

What the Medical Journals Say:

The London LANCET of March 7, 1891, says:
1.-The medicinal virtues OF the well-known
Mineral Waters depend on the presence of min
eral salts, which analysis has shown to consist
largely of the SulphateS of soda and potash,
in addition to small quantities of carbonate of
lime, with which occur traces Of the rarer salts
of lithium and Strontia. The water is accord
ingly reputed to be useful in rheumatism,
Govt, and Kidney disorders. KUTNOW'S Ef-
fervescent POWDER is stated to contain,
amongst other ingredients, the active principle
OF the salt obtained direct from the mineral
water. However this may be, our analysis con-
tirmed the presence of the chief constituents
referred to. The Powder is beautifully clean
and white, and is evidently prepared with care,
while the taste of the etfervescing solution is
by no means disagreeable."
