there are In il a few scaIawags- These
scalawags are held up as horrid eN
amples. and war dances are executed
around the miserable wretches as the
fagots are lighted. and the regular doe
tors proceed to burn them at the stake.
Now, as a matter OF fact 1t would
be just as logical to condemn the en-
tire medical profession because Of the
known fact that IT contains members
who perform abortions, and indulge in
other forms Of illegal practice.
Let il be admitted that folk get sick.
and that most Of them would get well
if they behaved themselves breathed
deeply Of fresh air, took a bit of exer-
else. forgave or forgot their enemies
and kept away from doctors and medi-
cines of any kind. The taking of medi-
cine. however, has a certain psychology
cal effect. and some drugs possess the
property of changing conditions in the
human body. The practice OF medicine,
at best, is simply game Of guess-work.
because the action Of drugs varies to a
remarkable degree upon different in
dividuals. The reason there are so very
many doctors and so very many medi-
cines is because the dear people demand
a variety. SO they can change from one

unable to tell you what a regular.

man makes a good remedy It is hardly
criminal to let the public know about ID
and the best way to let the public know
is by advertising. If a man advertises
a remedy that is not good. It is only a
question Of time until he viii find no
sale for it.
1t happens that men who advertise
very often get rich. while men who don't
advertise very often go broke The doc
tors (who don't advertise if they have
TO pay for it, became jealous of the
business established by advertisers Of
patent medicines, and for quite a while
have been trying to get monopoly on
the medicine industry through the
enactment of laws. That is TO say. if
they can make it illegal for anybody
but an organization doctor to treat

Now. if doctors cured the people they

ing our heads off for them. but the
various graveyards scattered over the
countryside are mute testimony to their
impotency. The possession of sheep
skin is not proof Of skin. and doc

URIC ACID
AN ENEMY IN AMBUSH
CBy DIR. N. c. LUcAs.l

II was not until the discovery by Sir
Arthur Gerrod. in 1s4s. that the blood
OF equity patients contained uric acid
in an excessively large amount that
much attention was paid TO this sub
Ject- Later scientific men learned that
in govt (also true in rheumatism the
kidneys do not work properly to throw
of the uric acid poison. consequently
uric acid crystals are deposited in and
about the joints. whore an Inflammation

for any reason the circulation in slug

tails formed from uric acid are deposited

The pain In the back. 1umbago. pain

caused by uric acid poison in the blood

Kidney disease carries away a large

10 insisting that no one shall write
books but college graduates; no one
shall touch upon religion bur ordained

The one thing that presumably makes
this country glorious is more or less
degree of freedom that permits a back
woods bow like Lincoln to rise to the
presidency through self-instruction, or
4 man like Ben Franklin, by educating
himself. to become the best educated
man We ever produced. Nearly all Of
us are competent to select some simple
remedy to treat a sore thumb. or to take
a dash Of mint for the belly ache, thus
often sidestepping an operation for ap-
pendicitis. but the doctors would make
self-treatment a crime. There is not an
old grandmother in the land who does
not possess a more reliable list of rem
edies for the common ailments of the
family than any dozen young squirts
just out of medical college with sheep
skins.
You might think. from all this indis-
criminate baying of the pack. that pro-
motors Of patent medicines were CO.
laborers with Gyp the Blood. Dago
Frank and Lefty Louie. while the mem
bers or the pack were schoolmates Of
Little Rollo, Sunday School Susie and
sinless Sam; but the facts seem to be
that there ia the same percentage Of
