trade after the European war. The

What is the Cause
of Rheumatism
Lumbago and
Gout?
CBI YaIentise Mott Pierce, n. ID

(By Valentine Mott F1erees -. D.)
Ever since Schee1e, in IT'S, diseov-
cred that uric acid was present In the
system, scientific men have been
making experimental investigations
and it is the almost universal opinion
Of our best medical men that the
presence of uric acid in the system in
excess is the cause of rheumatism
and gout. When the urate salts are
precipitated out of the blood into the
solid tissue-strueture the person suf-
fers from gout or rheumatism in the
muscles and joints, or suffers from
lumbago and pain in the back mus
cles. The first aim of the sufferer
should be to get rid of the uric acid,
which, IN excess, is a poison, and to
do this 1t Is well to drink pint of
hot water morning and night-get
tablets of Anuric at the nearest drug
store and take them before meals
regularly. Anuric will do no harm to
the system and will carry of the uric
acid by stimulating the Kidneys.
Then tineture iodine may be painted
over the swellings, or in more severe
cases hot linseed poultices may be
applied to soothe the local symp-
toms. But most important Is II for
the sufferer to abstain from red
meat, to diet. drink only lemonade
or hot water, and take Anuric for a
considerable time as it causes a
drainage outward of the uric acid
and is many times more potent than
hthia and usually one finds that il
dissolves uric acid as hot water does
sugar.-Adv.
