Uric Acid is Slow Poison

Unseen in its approach, hard to de-
tect in its early stages, and cruelty
painful in its later forms, uric acid
poisoning is disease too often fatal.
Bright's disease is one of the final
stages of uric acid poisoning. 1t kills
In our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumption and pneu-
monia. Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney
weakness that would not be hard TO
cure, II discovered early, so 1t is well
to know the early signs of kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by a
cold, or fever. by overwork, or by over
indulgences, the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy, there is head
ache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and
dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances Of the urine
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel or stone In the
kidney, or crystallizes into jagged bits
In the muscles, joints or on the nerve
tubings. Then follow the awful pains
Of neuralgia, rheumatism, govt. sciat-
lea, neuritis, lumbago or kidney collie.

trefaction comes sooner; and in every
way the product is more perishable.
A very large proportion of the I'M
slightly poultry in our markets aside
from the rubbing and tearing of the
skins, is caused by an incomplete re-
moval of the blood. This Is evidenced
by red dots which frequently occur
where the feathers have been removed,
especially over the thighs and wings
or by the small veins which are seen
over the breast and in the angles of
the wings, or larger veins, which mar
the appearance of the neck,
Two sketches of a chickens head
are here shown from which the lower
jaw has been removed. The lower Jaw
of the chicken is much longer than the
beak. 1t runs back to point just
below the ear, where the hinged joint
can be felt. The skin which makes

BROUGHT HER BACK TO LIFE
Remarkable Cure That Was Effected
by the Administration Of Ar
dent Spirits.

On his return to his native heath
a year or two ago. P, ]. O'Keefe found
Nellie, the oldest woman in the parish,
was dying.
Her friends, arriving at her home.
found her lying back in her easy chair,
apparently about to pass over the last
threshold. Nellie, being a good house
wife, carried bunch of keys at her
girdle and, thinking that she was now
gone, one of the neighbors reached
under the folds of her dress to find
the key that would unlock the closet
where her shroud was kept AS the
good woman was fumbling at the cir
die she felt sly pinch of her hand
and knew by that that there was still
a spark of life remaining.
Perhaps" she suggested, "a wee
drop of brandy would revive her"
A teaspoonfuf of brandy was ad.
ministered, but with only a Pickering
response So the friends departed sor,
rowfully, forgetting, however, to re-
move the bottle from her side, On
their return a few hours later they
discovered that the brandy had van
ished and that Nellie had completely
recovered, She lived to be more than
one hundred years old But that,
says Mr., O'Keefe, was the story OF
Nellie's dying"

bone and go into the inside of the
skull, and into the deep tissue, where
they are quite safe from the killers
knife. If these large veins are to be
severed, the cut must be made far
enough back to reach them before
they penetrate the bones of the skull.
On the other hand, If the cut is made
too far back and over the edge of
the skull, as Is shown In connection
with the illustration, much of the
blood will settle in the loose tissue
of the neck instead of running out of
the mouth, thereby clogging the YES
sells and preventing complete bleed
ing, as well as making unsightly dis
colored areas in the neck near tho
head.
Below is shown the position of a
chicken ready for killing and held by
the feet in U-shaped shackle. No
tice that the thumb OF the killer Is
pressed firmly down on the head just
below and behind the ear in the space
to which attention was called when
discussing the bones of the skull.
Here, too, is the hinge OF the jaw.
Pressure Of the thumb on one side Of
this portion of the skull and on the
other side at the same place with the
forefinger, or with the forefinger and
second finger, will result in opening
the chickens mouth, and holding it
open while the operator makes the
cut to bleed. Held in such fashion,
there is nothing to obstruct the blood
vessels, thereby preventing the blood
from escaping even though these yes.
sells be cut.
The position of the knife IL tho
mouth, which is shown by the dotted
line, needs no further explanation. The
Snife itself, however, is very differ
ent from. that ordinarily used in the
bleeding of chickens. The knife in
common use is much too large, both
too long and too broad for the most
successful work.
Intellectual cutting, due to lack Of
knowledge of the structure of the
chickens neck and head, the use Of
force rather than skill on the part Of
the operator, and knife Ill adapted
to the work which 1t has to do is illus
trated by the cut above, which shows

some Of the most common types of
cuts in badly bled chickens. A study
of these illustrations indicates very
plainly why these chickens are badly
bled. The lower jaws from these heads
were removed so that the position of
the cuts could be noted. Head A has
had two cuts. One has run parallel
with the connection between the two
veins and very close to it but has not
cut 1t, and another has run from the
angle of the mouth too close to the
point where the blood vessel on the
left side Of the head breaks into the
two smaller vessels and penetrates
the bones Of the skull. The only YES
sells which were cut in this chicken
were the small superficial veins sup
plying the roof Of the mouth and from
which the bleeding amounted to al
most nothing. Head B shows a cut
in the right direction but it did not go
quite far enough back to reach the
veins at their junction. Head A, in
the cut shows the cross cut which
is advocated by SO many killers. In
this case it was made too far front
Both of the large veins escaped and
only the small vessels of the roof of
the mouth were disturbed. "B" is a
good illustration of indiscriminate cut
ting by badly directed knife, which
in all probability was far too large,
since the upper cut extends all the
way across the roof of the chickens
mouth and almost as far front as the
beak Another cut which partly fol.
