Of military censorship alone prevents
our seeing the true expression Of the
people, but, despite the state-imposed
conceaIment of the essential features,
the body Of the German public betrays
the unmistagable sings Of weakness
and suffering.
! In the beginning this war was for
Germany a peoples war. They had
been spoon-fed with pan-German i'm
perialism, and they honestly thought
! that they were better than all other
people on earth and morally entitled
, to rule the world. The first few days
of carefully engineered war fever
set them raging mad. and even the
few weIl-balanced, independent minds
were swept away in the torrent OF
universal excitement The nation
marched to war as TO q pageant; Il
was TO be songs, roses. drama and a
little sweet, sad sentiment over those
who fell. Today the German has
learned the reality q war and his
needless philosophy OF force Is beins

Uric Acid!

Ever since the discovery Of Scheele In
l775 that uric acid was found within the
body-most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it; also
many distressing symptoms as head
ache, pain in back, stomach distress,
swollen feet and ankles, govt, etc.
It was DR.. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered a new agent
- called Anuric, a harmless remedy
that il taken before meals will carry of
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the creaky
joints and all the distressing symptoms
Of rheumatism and other maladies dis
appear. YOU can easily prove this your
self, by obtaining Anuric at almost any
drug store, or send DIR. Pierce 10c. for
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is msny times more active
than lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar.
