Why RHEUMATISM COMES
WITH COLD WEATHER
(ey vaIeutine Mott Pierce; M. d.

(ey vaIeutine Mott Pierce, M. d.
A close connection exists between
these two-cold weather and rheuma-
tism Prof. Alex. Haig of London has
the most followers in the medical pro-
,fession in the belief that the presence
in the system of uric acid, or its salts
in excess, is the real cause of rheuma-
tism. Every one has recognized the.
difference in the appearance Of their.
water as soon as 1t gets cold; there is
often copious sediment of brick
dust"
Several causes may lead up to an ac-.
emulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, cause rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joins. swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid,i
by profuse sweating, as in the hot.
weather. and the kidneys are unable
to take care of the double burden. An
other reason is that people do not
drink as much water in cold weather
as in summer, which helps to flush
the kidneys. Again, they eat more
meat in cold weather, and some peo-.
pie are so susceptible that they soon
develop rheumatism after eating meat.
At all such times persons should
drink copiously OF hot water, say, a
pint morning and night. and take
Anuric double strength1 three or four
times a day. This Anuric comes in
tablet form and can be had at almost
any drug store. 1t dissolyes the uric
acid in the system and carries it out
ward 4 would advise everyone to take
Anuric occasionally, and continue for
three or four weeks, and in that way.
avoid rheumatism, govt and many of
the painful disorders due to uric acid
in tho system.
Make yourself healthy and strong
by open-air exercise and diet Then,

niulating its action with pleasant
