A Practical Test.

A shrewd old countryman was being
questioned by the vicar on his relig-
ious tenets. He had heard the old man
was a Baptist. and although he had
nothing to say against the belief of
this sect he implied that perhaps the
established church was the better road
to salvation. The old man, after lis
tening to the wears fears on his be-
half, said: "From this village to the
market town there are three roads.
There's the straight road along the
valley. the old coach road over the
hills and the main road running along
side the park wall. When I get my
wheat to the market town they don't
say to me, 'Hullo, John, which road
did you come byY but What's your

In lS4S Sir Arthur Garrod proved
that in govt { also true in rheumatism
there is deficient elimination on the
part of the kidneys and the poisons
within are not thrown off.
Prof. FL. Strauss attributes 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 60 cts, at
the nearest drug store and take them
