WHAT IS THE CAUSE
RHEUMATISM, lUl-
bAGO AND GOUT?
(By Valentine Mott Pierce, NJ. d.

(By Valentine Mott Pierce, NJ. d.
Ever since Scheele, in 1875, discov-
cred, that uric acid was present in the
system, scientific men have been max
ing 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 govt.
When the urate salts are precipitated
out of the blood into the solid tissue
structure the person suffers from govt
or rheumatism in the muscles and
joints, or suffers from lumbagO and
pain in the back muscles. The first
aim of the sufferer should be to get
rid of the uric acid, which, in excess,
is poison, and to do this it 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 off the uric acid by stimulating
the kidneys. Then tincture iodine may
be painted over the swellings, or in
more severe cases hot linseed pOul-
tees may be applied to soothe the
local symptoms. But most important
is it for the sufferer to abstain from
red meat, to diet, drink only lemon
ade or hot water, and take Anuric
for considerable time, as it causes a
drainage outward of the uric acid and
is many times more potent than lithia
and usually one finds that it dissolves
uric acid as hot water does sugar.

NOT ENCOURAGING.

Sentiment as reflected by the Euro
pean press hardly promises an early
peace. The Allies fear that the Teu'
tons proposal is merely a bait. On
the other hand, there are those who
believe that Germany is giving Russia
an excellent excuse to patch up a
separate peace. ...
There can be little doubt but that
Germany will insist from now on that
the war is prolonged because the
Allies refuse to entertain proposals
for peace. Part Of the diplomatic
move is to place the responsibility
for further bloodshed at the doors OF
the Entente Powers. 80

WOMEN OF HOLLAND
READY FOR MOBILIZATION

The Hague, Netherlands, July l.
The women of Holland are to be pre-.
pared for instant mobilization in S
of war to keep the essential civil life
of the nation going, as we'll as per-
form such service behind the lines as
that Of the Red Cross.
Under the scheme drawn up, tine
National Women's Council of the
Netherlands is arranging for inscnp-
ton offices to be opened all over the
country, where all the available fe-
male labor forces can be registered
and classified on the card system. 1t
is to be left to each woman volunteer
to say whether she would desire a sal
airy OF not, and whether she has any
objection to transferment from one
place to another while she is entirely
free in her choice Of the nature of the
work. AS however, there is likely to
be a super abundance of offers orr
certain kinds of labor, the volunteer
can register a second and even third
selection. No wage paid is less than
that earned by the man replaced; on
the other hand, the woman so employ
ed may in no case claim the place
