Why Rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather

(By Valentine 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 medi-
cal profession in the belief that the
pr essence in the system of uric acid,
or its salts in excess, is the real
cause Of rheumatism. Every one has
recognized the difference in the ap-
pearance of their water as soon as It
gets cold there is often a copious
sediment of "brickdust."
Several causes may lead up to an
accumu lation of uric acid in the sys-
tenn, which, in turn, cause rheuma-
tism or govt, or creaky joints, swol-
len finger, or painful joints.t For one
reason the skin does not throw off
the uric acid, by profuse sweating,
as in the hot weather, and the kidneys
are unable to take care of the double
burden Another reason is that peo-
pie 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 people are SO susceptible
that they soon develop rheumatism
after eating meat.
At all such times persons should
drink copiously of hot water, say,
pint morning and night, and take
Anuric double strength three or four
times a day. This Anuric comes in
tablet form and can be had at almost
any drug store. 1t dissolves the uric
acid in the system and carries it out
ward. would advise everyone to
take Anuric occasionally, and con-
tinue for three or four weeks, and In
that way avoid rheumatism, govt and
many of the painful disorders due TO
uric acid in the system.
Make yourself healthy and strong
by open-atr exercise and diet. Then
cleanse the liver by occasionally
stimulating its action with a pleasant
laxative composed of the May-apple,
dried juice of aloe, and root of jalap,
sugar coated and long sold by all
druggists as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets.

That people continue to get typhoid
through polluted water, flies or 9TH
er forms of filth, and die, when vac
cination would have prevented it, no
one is to blame but themselves. Eth
er Ignorance or Indifference can be
their excuse, but the consequences
following ignorance and indifference
in respect to health and natures laws
are just as inexorable as those fol-
lowing the violation Of civil laws.
AS the season for typhoid fever is
again at hand, vaccination becomes
not only rational patriotic duty
but a personal obligation. Who can
afford the risk of becoming a ty-
phoid carrier, a continual source of
typhoid infection, to say nothing of
the discomfort, the expense and per-
haps death from this dreadful dis
ease? ga.

VACCINATION AND TYPHOID
No Contradiction for Fact That Vac
cination Prevents Typhoid

State Board of Health Bulletin.
That vaccination is an almost alb
solute prevention of typhoid fever is
a fact whose figures cannot be sue
cessfully contradicted. 1t has been
the means of not only stamping out
the disease in the United States army
and in the armies of other nations
that have required its use, but it has
given just as good protection to in
dividuals who have been wise enough
to use it, even in case of outbreaks or
4eNdemics. Nothing more can be
said for this means of protection
than its ability to prevent the disease
IN the face of an epidemic or after
a person has been exposed to the in
fection.
For four or more years the State
Board of Health has adopted every
means within it's power to inform thu
people of the State of this method
Of keeping off typhoid; it arranged
to furnish free vaccine to the people
furthermore, it has offered to coun
ties and towns to arrange with then
to conduct anti-typhoid campaign
free to their people.

Demoralized Germans Have Not Re-
gained Lost Ground-Numerous
Battles in the Air-Situation at

Situation in Snain


krOnstadt Remains Tense-Acute
Situation in Spain
Another day has passed without
the demoralized Germans along the
Ypres front making an effort by
counter attacking to regain the
ground they lost in the titanic drive
Of Field Marshal Haig's men last
Thursday. South of Ypres, however,
the Teuttons heavily bombarded the
British posions, where. additional ter
rain was taken from them Saturday
night on several sectors.
Aerial activity between the German
and British fliers continued Satur-
day and numerous battles in the air
were fought. Nine enemy machines
were accounted for by the British,
who themselves lost three.
There has been no fighting along
that part of the line where the French
are facing the Germans rising above
the character of small surprise at
tacks. On the Chemin des Danes the
Germans early Sunday morning pen
etrated small salient west of Cerny,
but almost Immediately were driven
out.
In the Austro-Italian theatre the
fighting is being done by the artillery
wings of the opposing army. There
has been no attempt at a resump-
ton of the Italians of their great Of
fensive in the Carso front, but from
the fact that reconnoitering parties
are being sent out to survey the new
positions of the Austrians, another
great battle probably is not far dis
tant.
In Macedonia, especially along tn,
Vardar river section, artillery duel!
are in progress.
The situation at Kronstadt, wher,
the counsel Of workmen's and soldiers
delegates sstill defying the provis
lonal government, remains tense. Ap
parently as its first step in carryin,
out it's threat to take resolute &C
ton, the government has recalled va
rious officials from Kronstadt. /
heartening sign in the crisis ther
is the fact that the fleet in that por
is reliable and can be depended o
to aid the government.
The movement for the establish
metn of republic in Russia has bee
joined by the congress Of peasant
delegates of all Russia.
{ Acute Situation in Spain
The situation in Spain which result
ed in the resignation of the ministr
, is still acute. The Marquis Prit
has declined to retain the premie,
ship, and the belief prevails that Et
uardo Dato, former premier of col
servative leanings, will be entruste
with the formation of a cabinet.
AS a resouIt of the recent bombar'
ment Of Ostend and probably fe;
that another operation Of simil;
> character may be carried out again

all the large ships from the harbo
which presents a deserted appea
r. ance.
