A lawsuit regarding Rhodesian min
ing rights, which has reached the
house of lords In its fourth year, is
quite legal infant when compared
with some that have preceded it. The
Thellusson will case, for example,
dragged out in the courts from 1877
to 1857. Another similar action at law,
known as the Bishop Demetra will
case, lasted 122 years. Even this, how
ever, is not record. for in 1908 there
was settled at Friema lawsuit that
had been in progress since 143O. The
raising Of a dam was the point at issue
and 1t occupied the courts for exactly
478 years.

FOR CAL0MEL
Instead Of This Drastic Mineral

Satisfactory vegeta-
BILE Laxative.

Many people have the calomel habit
They know calomel moves the bowels.
They overlook the fact, however, that
caIomel not only fails to remove all i'm
puritles from the system, but actually
adds to them by the mercurial deposits
II leaves. After repeated doses these de-
posts accumulate and cause trouble later
in life. Many a case of rheumatism
might be traced to mercurial deposits
that settled in the joints causing them
to become swollen and very painful.
Instead OF this mineral poison, use DR..
H. Mozley's Lemon Elixir which has
been the ideal liver-regulating substitute
for calomel and castor oil for forty-seven
years.
This vegetable medicine produces the
benefits you expect from mineral calomel,
but none of the harmful effects. 1t is
pleasant in taste, gentle. and prompt in
action, relieving sick headaches, bilious
ness, Indigestion, dizziness, fevers, colds
influenza, and grippe.
A spoonful taken occasionally keeps
the liver and bowels active. 1t is safe
for young children as well as older people
Get trial bottle of this exceptionally
merltortous laxative from your druggist.
Refuse substitutes. No other medicine
is like it-nothing IS so good to protect
your health,-Adv.

Weekly Health Talks
URIC ACID IN THE SYSTEM
BY LEE Il. SMITH, NJ. D.

Uric acid is now generally recog-
nized as the cause Of more diseases
than was heretofore believed. When
the kidneys are out Of order uric acid
accumulates within the body in super
abundance. The disordered kidneys
do not filter the poisons out Of the
blood, as they ought to do, and so the
poisons remain in the blood and float
around until they find place to
lodge, in form of urats salts. The
thing to remember is that you may
have rheumatism in any part or the
body-you may have pains anywhere
your back may ache and your head
may be dizzy-but the trouble is not
where the pain appears.
The trouble is in the kidneys, and
what is the first thing to do? You musS
get that excess uric acid out of your sys-
tenn, which can be done by taking Anurlc
Tablets, the splendid remedy which DR..
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, has put on sale
in the drug stores at a low price. Anurlc
Tablets (nade double strength), when
taken into the system as medicine, have
the peculiar power of dissolving the uric
acid deposited there. Drop bit Of sugar
or salt into hot water, and it will disap-
pear. In precisely the same way do these
Anuric Tablets dissolve uric acid. OF
course, after Kidding the system of uric
acid, it may return again unless you eat
the right foods and live the right kind OF
life. but DR.. Pierce will advise you fully
on proper food and correct living if you
write and ask him. He makes no charge
for such advice. Take Anuric Tablets to-
day, by all means, and get that uric acid
out Of your system. Don't, don't, don't,
