Uric Acid POISONING!

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the system
is the cause of rheumatism, that this uric
acid poison is present in the joints, mus
-cles, or nerves. By experimenting and
analysis at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y, DR..
Pierce discovered 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 in
aammation subside. If you are a 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.
Anuric is regular insurance and life
saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit ime-salts in their joints.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets for the
liver and bowels have been favorably
known for nearly so years.

MAKING FOOL OF HIMSELF.

Because n nan out Of ten makes

prollquor argument, Clarence True
Wilson, prohibition speaker, says:
"Yes; but II does not stop with n

trouble is that he makes, too often, q
wild beast of himself. The trouble Is
that In that condition he Is liable to
make a corpse OF somebody else. II

BEER.
The Bremen Anti-Alcohol congress
concluded that while whisky and
brandy made a mar crazy, beer tends
to make him stupid. Doctor Forel Of
the University Of Zurich says: THE
drinking Of beer has killed the ideals
and ethics and has produced m in
credible vulgnrlty." The II for
the %sottishness is that each pint Of
beer contains a small quantity Of
pure alcohol, a percentage Of lupulin,
the active principle Of hops, which
acts very much like the poisonous
principle Of Indian hemp. At n
time Indian hemp was used as n medi-
cine, but 1t had to be abandoned on
account Of its varying and poisonous
characteristics. Doctor Delbruck, an
other authority, says that beer and
wine drinking countries such as
France, Germany, Belgium and Ba-
varia, are more alcohol soaked than
the whisky and brandy countries, and
states that the beer danger is much
greater than the spirit danger.

MODERN WAY.

The newest and largest Of United
States battleships, the Mississippi,
was christened with water from the
Mississippi river. When people stop
to consider the symbolism Of the chris
tening rite, religious or nautical, wa
ter is invariably chosen. In days gone
by, splrltuous liquors were generally
supposed to give long life and to bring
good luck, but the revelations Of SCI
ence have thoroughly exploded that
belief. AS is well pointed out, the
christening Of a ship with champagne
or anything containing alcohol, the
symbol of destruction and death, Is
IN absurdity and a confession Of ig-
norance.
