Why Rheumatism CONES
With Cold Weather

CBy 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
presence 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-
Dearance Of their water as soon as II
gets cold; there is often a copious
sediment of "brickdust."
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the sys-
tenn. which, in turn, cause rheuma-
tism or govt, or creaky joints, swol-
len finger, 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 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.
Az all Sucn times persons SnOulo
drink copiously of hot water, say, a
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 uf-c
acid In the system and carries 1t OUT
ward. / would advise everyone to
take Anuric occasionally, and con-
Ilnue 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-air exercise and diet. Then
cleanse the liver by occasionally
stimulating its action with a pleasant
laxative comp osed 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.

WARSAW, ILL.,, June AT the re-
