WHAT IS URIC ACID?
THE CAUSE OF sAekAeHE, RHEUMATISM, GRAVEL AND
SUDDEN DEATH

Ever since the discovery of uric
acid in the blood by Scheele, in I77s,
and the bad effect it had upon the
body, scientists and physicians have
striven to rid the tissues and the
blood of this poison. Because of its
overabundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there,
rheumatism, gout, gravel, neuralgia,
and sciatica. 1t was DIR. Pierce who
discovered a new agent, called AN
uric" which will throw out and COM
pletely eradicate this uric acid from
the system. "An-uric" is 81 times
more potent than Hthia, and conse-
quently you need no longer fear mus
cular or articular rheumatism or gout,
or many other diseases which arc de-
pendent on an accumulation OF uric

HISTORY BUILDERS.
Some Towns That Did Not Want
Railroads.
Written Expressly for The Washington Herald.
BY DIR. Z. J. EDWARDS.


BY DIR. Z. J. EDWARDS.
In a chat which I had with the late
William ID. Bishop at a time when he
was making a brief sojourn In Wash
ington. in the early part of President
Arthur's administration, he spoke, tc
me Of the very interesting and impor-
tant object lesson which is contained
in the building and operation of the
New Haven Railroad line. That road was
conceived by Mr.. Bishops father. He
was a citizen OF Bridgeport, then a
very small town. He was persuaded that
the time had come-it was in 1s$ OF
Decentralization New York City and
New Haven should be connected by a
railroad. The least difficult part of the
proposition was the obtaining of q
charter from the legislature. That was
a trivial matter in comparison with some
OF the other difficulties which 1t was
necessary to surmount.
There had been for many years, :"
said Mr.. Bishop, "a prosperous stage
coach line between New York and New
Haven. and this was a part OF the
through mail coach line between New
York and Boston. The stagecoach
business had been somewhat impaired
by the operation Of steamboats, through
Long Island Sound, but there were stin
some that flourished. In addition to
that, all of the villages between New
Haven and New York along the New
York shore of Long Island Sound
maintained either packet incorporating
between these towns and New York or
else small steamboats,
when it was proposed to build rail-
road, all sorts of attacks were made
upon my father and others who planned
this road. They were told that they
were heartless because they would drive
the owners of packets out of business
and would destroy the stagecoach lines.
In some cases the opposition was really
threatening
The most serious obstacle, however,
came from several of the larger towns
along the proposed line of railroad. They
would not permit the road to be buflt
through those towns and they relied
upon injunctions and other methods to
prevent this being done. There was the
town of Norwalk. one Of the hourishing
communities in southern Connecticut
which would not permit the railroad to
run through the town. so 1t was
necessary to locate II two or three miles
south of that village, the line running
through a region that was very sparsely
settled. There was also Stamford. which
also was prepared to resist the building
Of the road through the town. j. wa.
necessary. therefore. to locate II some
distance from the center Of the town.
AFTER overcoming many difficulties,
the road was built And as a result
large and hourishing villages-in one
case a city. South Norwalk-were due
entirely to the construction Of this line.
whereas the older towns that would not
permit 1t to go through became stag
nant
.'Of course the stagecoach lines dis
appeared. as the turnpike and tollgate
did, but the packet lines which navigated
the Sound were not destroyed because
It was learned they could carry SONS
kinds of freight at less cost than the
railroad. Nowadays. having been taught
by experience communities are only too
glad to have a railroad built right
through them"
