cause of gout. And Prof. H. Strauss,
attributes q gouty attack to the heap
ing up of poisons where there is an
abundance of uric acid which is pre-
cipitated in the joints and sheaths,
setting up Inflammation. Before the
attack of gout or rheumatism there is
sometimes a series of disturbances,
such as headache, or what is thought
to be neuralgia, or rheumatic con-
ditions such as lumbago, pain in
the back of the neck, or seiatica. As
Prof. Strauss says, UThe excretion of
uric acid we are able to effect by
exciting diuresis." Drink copiously OF
water, six or eight glasses per day, hot
water before meals, and obtain Anuric
tablets, double or triple strength, at
the nearest drug store and take them
three times a day. 1t is Just as i'm
portant to keep the kidneys active, to
throw out the uric acid poisons as it
is to stimulate the liver to greater
action to throw out the poisons which
accumulate to an excessive amount
in the bowel. Throw out this waste
material by occasionally taking a pill
made up of May apple, aloes and
Jalap, and commonly sold as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets for the past
so years and you will escape nine
tenths of the ills in life.

Daniels is being Congratulated on
