This uratic im nurity comes usually as a re sult of constipation, weak kid neys, indigestion and stomach iisturbances. These systematic regularities may not be of narked severity or of long du ration, but each has a direct ef ect on the eliminative members pf the body, which prevents the proper removal of the waste uoducts. This refuse remains n the stomach and bowels, and louring forms uric acid, which lie blood quickly absorbs. Rheumatism is usually mani ested in the joints and muscles. It is here its sharpest twinges y' pain are felt, and stiffening off ligaments and tendons first com mence. The pain of Rheuma lism is caused by the contact of llie sensory nerves with the rrittv, acrid formation which ■ric acid causes to accumulate In the corpuscles of the blood Ibout the joints.

SPANISH INFLUENZA MORE DEADLY THAN WAR Said That Epidemic Cost More Lives Than American Loss in Battle. Danger Not Over. Great Care Nec essary to Prevent Further Outbreak. The appalling ravages of Spanish Influenza In this country are perhaps best realized by the statement re cently made, that more deaths have resulted in little more than a .month from this disease than through our whole eighteen months participation in the battles of tlio European War. Our greatest danger now, declare authorities. Is the great Amcricun tendency to forget easily and to be lieve the peril Is over. Competent authorities claim the coming of cold weather is very apt to bring a re turn of this disease and there should be no let-up throughout the winter months of the following easily ob served precautions, remembering that Influenza la far easier to prevent than cure. influenza it a crowd disease. Avoid crowds as much as possible. Influ enza germs spread wnen ignorant or careless persons sneeze or cough with out using a handkerchief. Cover up each cough or sneeze. Do not spit on the floor, sidewalk. In street cars or public places. Avoid the use of com mon drinking cups and roller towels In public places. Breathe some reliable germicidal and antiseptic air to de stroy the germs that do Una lodge ment in your nose and throat. Remember, no safer precaution against Influenza could be employed in this manner than to get from the nearest drug store a complete Hvomcl Outfit consisting of a bottle of the Pure oil of Hyoinei and a little vest-pocket hard rubber Inhaling device, into which a few drops of the oil are poured. You should carry this Inhaler about with you during the day and each half hour or so put It in your mouth and draw deep breaths of its pure, healing germ killing air into the passages if your nose, throat and lungs. By destroying germs before .hey actually begin work in your blood, you may make yourself practically immune to Infection. All these suggestions about Span ish Influenza are equally tzue in the prevention of colds, catarrh of nose and throat, bronchitis and even pneu monia. Don't become careless. Do your part. Keep the germs away. You may save yourself a serious ill ness and the loss of several weeks work. On sale by H. C. Kennedy. Daily Health Talks The Many Mysteries of Nature By L. W. Bower, M. D, You can take an onion seed and a pansy seed, and plant them side by side In the same spot of ground. In one case, you get an onion, with Its peculiarly strong odor, and in the other you get a flower of rare beauty. You can plant a poppy seed and get* opium (a dangerous, habit-forming drug), or you can plant a rhubarb seed and get something that helps constipation. No scientist, living or dead, can expain these mysteries of Nature. Behind the invisible life germ in each seed is hidden the deep secret that nobody understands. Everything growing out of the ground seems intended for some use in establishing natural conditions. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., long since found out what is naturally best for women's diseases. He learned It all through treating thou sands of cases. The result of his studies was a medicine called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This medicine is made of vegetable growths that nature surely intended for backache, headache, weakening drains, bearing-down pains, peri odical Irregularities, pelvic inflam mations, and for the many disorders common to women in all ages of life. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is made of lady's slipper root, black cohosh root .unicorn root, blue co hosh root and Oregon grape root. Women who take this standard rem edy know that in Dr. Pierce's Favor ite Prescription they are getting a safe woman's tonic so good that druggists everywhere sell It. Favorite Prescription should have the full confidence of every woman In America because it contains no alcoliol and no narcotic. Dr. Pierce knew, when he first made this stand ard medicine, that whiskey and mor phine are Injurious, and so he has always kept them out of his reme dies.
