Uric Acid is Slow Poison

Unseen in Its approach, hard to de-
tect in Its early stages, and cruelty
painful In It's later forms. uric acid
poisoning Is \ disease too often fatal.
Bright's disease Is enc 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. Brights disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney
weakness that would not be hard to
cure, If 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
tndulgences, the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy, there Is head
ache, dizziness. heart palpitation, and
q 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
