In 1848 Sir Arthur Garrod proved
that in goHt also true in rheumatism
there is deficient elimination on the
part of the kidneys and the poisons
within are not thrown off.
Prof. H. Strauss attributes q equity
attack to the heaping up of poisons
where there is an abundance of uric
acid which is precipitated in the joints
and sheaths, setting up inflammation.
Before the attack of govt or rheu-
matism there is sometimes headache,
or what is thought to be neuralgia, or
rheumatic conditions, such as lumbago,
pain in the back of the neck, or sciatica.
AS Prof. Strauss says, The 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 strength, for 80 cts, at
the nearest drug store and take them
three times a day. If you want trial
package send 10 cents to DR.. Pierce's
1nvalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
vAnuric" (anti-uric) is a recent dis
covery of DIR. Pierce and much more
potent than lithia, for it will dissolve
uric acid as hot tea dissolves sugar.

PAbktRS WOULD
WIPE OUT GR0CtRS
IS THE CLAIM

Wholesale groceries on a competi
tive basis will be wiped out within
five years unless present tendencies
are eliminated, Chairman Culver OF
the federal trade commission at Wash
ington told the house interstate com
merce committee at hearings on the
administration bill to regulate the
packing business.
'Tn ten or twelve years the retail
grocers also will disappear as indi-
viduals, to be supplanted by a great
chain of stores" said Mr.. Culver.
The cause, he commended, was that
the packers had obtained control OF
numerous industries not directly re-
lated to the packing industry.
'The consumer pays more" said
Mr.. Culver. "For instance, in the
salmon industry prices have advanced
without reason except of control"
