Uric Acid POISONING?

The most eminent physicians recog-
hize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause of rheumatism,
that this uric acid poison is present in
the joints, muscles, or nerves. BY ex-
perimenting and analysis at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, N. T., DR.. Pierce discovered a
combination Of native remedies that he
called Anuric-which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and in this
way the pain, swelling and inflamma-
ton subside. If you are sufferer from
rheumatism, backache, pains here or
there, you can obtain Anuric at any
drug store and get relief from the
pains and ills brought about by uric
acid; or send DR.. Pierce 1Oc for trial
pkg. Anuric which you will find many
times more potent than lithia and
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial will convince you.

The Wooden Cross.

Writing to student at Yale mem
in France says: '"Two of the Ameri-
can aviators have gotten the wooden
cross in the past week. We have just
heard that Bill Thaw, eX-Yale 10,
was killed few days ago. 1t did not
come out in the papers,"
There is the iron cross of the first
class, and the iron cross of the second
class, the Victoria cross, the cross of
the Legion of Honor-all of those are
decorations given by the war chiefs of
Europe. But the wooden cross"-that
costs more than all others. That is
the decoration given by Moloch.-Chat-

ALL ILLS CURED BY WALKING
That Is the Belief of New York Pro-
fessor, Who Covers 500 Mites
Month.

Prof. Charles Gray Shaw, head Of
the department of philosophy of New
York university, who has just complet-
ed a walk from Philadelphia to New
York, ninety miles, in little less than
"a hours, recommends walking as
panacea for all ills, mental and physi-
Cal, New York correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch writes. During
the last three months he has walked,
more than 500 miles a month. A little
journey of 80 or 40 miles day he con-
siders a mere nothing, trOt around
the block. And for regaining mental
pOise, calming distraught nerves, exter-
minating worry, there is nothing, take
it from the professor, equal to good
long walk. He belongs to the peripa-
tetic school of philosophy. walking
is the most valuable exercise in the
world" he said. "Also it is the cheap
est. 1t is one of the best ways I know
Of cheating the doctor and the under
taker. Walking, in the first place,
draws the blood from the head to the
feet. Then, when one walks. there
are so many delightful trivial things
to cajole ones attention away from
oneself; the color and shape of the
clouds, the flowers and the horizon,
the amusing and transitOry compan-
ions Of the road. And women ought to
walk more, too. Their compilations
and figures would improve If they did.
Most people take too short steps and
walk from the knee. The further up
the body the swing comes, the less

"kidded" the Inspectors.

The other day two sanitary inspec-

tages in certain English village. Dur
ing their visit they came to one where
lived three adults. On being admitted,
after waiting about ten minutes, one
of the inspectors said, angrily:
How many persons are there in this
house?"
''There are fve," answered the man
Of the house.
Fivew exclaimed the inspector,
"there1l have to be two less in it,

FANCY STROKES HURT

Molla Bjurstedt, the great tennis
champion, who has again won the Ma
tional Women's Tennis championship

dead after crossing the net" The
value of the chop and of all cut
strokes, Miss Bjurstedt says, lies in
their unexpectedness and consequent
disconcerting effect upon the Oppo-
nent. The danger of this stroke and
all other strokes which, she says, she
chooses to call "fancy" strokes, is that
"they absorb the whole Of ones
game" The result, Miss Bjurstedt de-
clares, is game in which tricks take
the place of straight, hard plays. Fond
ness for the chop stroke she is inclined
to trace to it's efficacy against weaker
players.

Like A Boy at so Bubbling OUer
With Vitality Taking Iron Did It
Doctor Nuxated Iron of all strength builders
Often increases the strength and endurance of delicate
nervous folks 200 per in no uOeeks time.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Not long ago
man came to me who was nearly half
a century old and asked me to give
him a preliminary examination for
life insurance. I was astonished to
find him with the blood pressure of q
boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and
vitality as young man; in fact a
young man he really was notwithstand-
ing his age. The secret he said was
taking iron-nuxated iron had filled
him with renewed life. At 80 he was
In bad health; at 46 careworn and
nearly all in. Now at so a miracle of
vitality and his face beaming with the
buoyancy of youth. AS I have said a
hundred times over, iron is the great
est of all strength builders. If people
would only throw away patent medi-
cines and nauseous connections and
take simple nuxated iron, I am con-
vinced that the lives of thousands of
persons might be saved, who now die
every year from pneumonia, grippe,
consumption, kidney, liver and heart
trouble, etc. The real and true cause
which started their diseases was moth
ing more nor less than a weakened
condition brought on by lack of iron in
the blood. Iron is absolutely neces-
sary to enable your blood to change
food into living tissue. Without it, no
matter how much or what you eat,
your food merely passes through you
without doing you any good. You don't
get the strength out of it and as con-
sequence you become weak, pale and
sickly looking just like plant trying
to grow in soil deficient in iron. If
you are not strong or well you owe it
to yourself to make the following test:
See how long you can work or how far
you can walk without becoming tired.
Next take two five-grain tablets Of or
binary nuxated iron three times per
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1916-11-17

day after meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength again and see for
yourself how much you have gained. I
have seen dozens of nervous, rundown
people who were ailing all the while,
double their strength and endurance
and entirely get rid Of all symptoms of
dyspepsia, liver and other troubles In
from ten to fourteen days time simply
by taking iron in the proper form. And
this after they had in some cases been
doctoring for months without obtaining
any benefit. But don't take the old
forms of reduced iron, iron acetate or
t1ncture of iron simply to save few
cents. You must take iron in a form
that can be easily absorbed and as
simulated like nuxated iron If you want
it to do you any good, otherwise it may
prove worse than useless. Many an
athlete or prize-fghter has won the day
simply because he knew the secret of
great strength and endurance and filled
his blood with iron before he went in
to the ARRAY, while many another has
gone down to inglorious defeat simply
for lack of iron.-E. Sauer, M. D.
NOTE. - Nuxated Iron, recommended
above by DR.. Sauer is not patent medi-
cine nor secret reEaedy, but one which Ia
well known to druggists and whose iron
constituents are widely prescribed by emil
