Daily Health Talks
URIC aclD IN TAE SYSTEM
BY LEE H. SMITH, NJ. D.

Uric acid is now generally recognized
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 posons out of the blood, as they
ought to do, and so the poisons remain
in the blood and float around until
they find a place to lodge, in form OF
urate salts. The thing to remember is
that you may have rheumatism in any
part of 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 must
get that excess uric acid out of your
system, which can be done by taking
Anuric Tablets, the splendid remedy
which. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
has put on sale in the drug stores at
low price. Anuric Tablets (made
double strength }, when taken into the
system as medicine, have the peculiar
power of dissolving the uric acid de-
posted there. Drop bit OF sugar or
salt into hot water, and it will dis
appear. 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 tin
right kind of life, but DR.. Pierce vii.
advise you fully on proper food and
correct living if you write and ask
hlm:, lie makes no charge for such
advice. y Take Anuric Tablets to-day
by all means, and get that uric acid
out OF your system. Don't, don't
don't, put the master off.

P0PPY'S VALUE LONG KNOWN
Abundant Evidence That Qualities Of
the Plant Were Appreciated
Many Centuries Ago.

The poppy plant was originally in
digenous to the valley of the Nile, and
many centuries before Christ 1t was
imported into Persia. There 1t was
grown with even greater success than
In its natural haunts, and for many
years there was a great discussion as
to the merits of Persian and Thebaic
poppy from the city of Thebes. There
are several ancient references which
clearly indicate the important position
which poppy leaves occupied in an
clent times. Homer knew all about
1t, for In the fourth book of the Odys-
sey he relates the story Of present
Of poppy sent by the wife Of Thop,
an Egyptian king, to Helen. Hippo
crates first recommended its use as q
medicine and sent out with 1t O warn
Ing that 1t was dangerous. Morphine,
the alkaloid crystallizable extract Of
opium, which contains its medicinal
and narcotic properties, was first
made by Seguin, In 1903, and later
Serturner gave 1t its name after the
Latin derivatlve meaning ito sleep"
1t was about this time that DR.. John
Leigh delivered a prize essay before
the Harveian society of England on
opium and its derivatives, calling at
tention to the dangers Of forming
habit, and publishing this essay, later
dedlcating 1t to George Washington.

GET FULL VALUE OF READING
Authors Best Sayings Should Be
Transferred to the storehouse
Of the Memory.

A view of reading, which, though 1t
is obvious enough, is seldom taken, I
Imagine, or at least acted upon Is,
that, In the course of our reading,
we should lay up In our minds a store
of goodly thoughts in well-wrought
words, which should be living treas
ure Of knowledge always with US, and
from which at various times, and
amidst all the shifting of circum-
stance, we might be sure Of drawing
some comfort, guidance and sympathy.
We see this with regard to the sacred
writings. "a word spoken In due
season, how good Is itp But there is
similar comfort on lower level to
be obtained from other sources than
sacred ones. In any work that Is
worth carefully reading there is gen.
orally something that is worth re-
membering accurately. A man whose
mind is enriched with the best sayings
of the poets Of his own country is
more Independent man, walks the
streets In town, or the lanes in the
country, with far more delight than he
otherwise would have; and is taught,
by wise observers Of man and nature,
to examine for himself. Sancho Panza
with his proverbs is a great deal bet
ter than he would have been without
them.-Slr Arthur Helps.

Look Over Your Bills.

Now that somebody has taken the
trouble to count them, it appears that
there are In circulation In the currency
of the United States FIVE varieties Of
the 81 note, FIVE different so bills, six
IS bills, seven $40 bills, seven $40 bills,
six $50 bills, six 800 bills and four
$500 bills. Comparatively few citizens,
to be sure, have the opportunity to
study the differences between $500
bills, but 1t illustrates the matter Of
courseness with which currency is
handled that many will probably be
surprised to know that the lower de-
nominations are printed in so many
styles. Nor does 1t often occur to any
body to realize that he carries in his
pocketbook some fine and interesting
examples Of the art of engraving.
