In 1S4S Sir Arthur Garrod proved
that in gout 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 gouty
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 gout 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
three times a day. If you want trial
