ACID POISONING.

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause of gout and rheu-
matism, that this uric acid poison is
present in the joints. muscles. or nerves.
BY experimenting. and analysis at the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
in Buffalo. n. Y. Dr. Pierce discovered
a combination Of native remedies that
he called An-u-ric. which drives out the
uric acid from the system. and in this
way the pain. swelling and inflammation
subside. If you are sufferer from
rheumatism, backache. pains here or
there. you can obtain Anuric. double
strength. at any drug store and get re-
lief from the pains and ills brought
about by uric acid; or send DR.. Pierce
10c for trial pkg. Anuric which you
will find many times more potent than
lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar. \ short trial will
convince you. Send sample of your
water TO DR. Pierce and it will be tested

which he then pastes in his war saw
ings certificate card.
The entire scheme is really very
simple, though az first to some II may
seem complicated. So, to state the
same facts in another way. read the
following which is the explanatory
legend on the face of the thrift card.
when sixteen 25-cent United
States Government thrift stamps. rep
resenting a total of $500. are affixed
herein, and a cash payment of from
12 to % cents is made as provided on
page 2, this card should be exchanged
for a war savings certificate STAN
for which you will be paid on Janu-
ary /, 1923. $500"
This new scheme Is an eminently
practical one. and 1t has survived
careful scrutiny of the best of our
captains Of finance and our govern
ment officials. It's strong appeal. of
course, is the fact that the patriotic
American may begin with an initial
purchase of a 25-cent thrift stamp;
and 1t is an investment which not
only brings the purchaser in per
cent. interest, but is also the most
secure investment he could make. as
1t is backed up by the whole of the
United States.
A Lesson In Thrift For All.
II suppose not many fortunate by.
products can come out of the war
but IL this country can learn some
thing about saving out of the war 4,

mean the literal cost of 1t in money
and resources" This was what Pres.
ident Wilson said the other day to the
National War Savings Committee. and

are in charge OF the campaign which

member of this important committee
because of her splendid work as
member of the Womnn's Liberty Loan
Committee. She is to tell the women
of the country how instead of placing
their savings in the old blue tea pot
and pushing 1t far back into the re-
motest corner OF her highest cupboard
shelf. 1t is her duty as a patriotic
American to invest those savings in
War Savings certificates OF IS each,
which in five years will return to her
with compound interest added.
Or. if her savings come slowly. she
may buy with each quarter OF dollar
the Thrift Stamps which she can Sc
cure at her own post Office and paste
them in the Thrift card which she
can also secure at her own post office;
and when she has accumulated six
teen 25-cent Thrift stamps she can
add a few cents and with 1t purchase
at some nearby agency authorized by
the Government one of the IS war
