Whv rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather 7
BY VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, M. d.

A close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold there is
often copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. . 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
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1917-02-01

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 people are so susceptible that they
soon develop rheumatism after eating
meat.
At all such times persons should drink
copiously of hot water, say, pins
morning and night, and take Anuric
three or four times day. This An.
uric comes in tablet form and can be
had at almost any drug store. It dis
solves the uric acid in the system
and carries it outward. I would advise
everyone to take Anuric occasionally,
and continue for three or four weeks,
and in that way avoid rheumatism, gout
and many of the painful disorders due
to uric acid. ADV.
