THE HEART CAN'T STAND
RHEUMATIC ACID
POISONING.
To Free and Correct the Blood a
Uric-O Treatment is Advised.

There IS great danger IN those sharp, shoot.
ing pains through the chest around the region
of the heart 1t means that poisonous uric
and rheumatic acid are there ready 10 spring
and grip tightly the muscles controlling the
hearts action. Don't neglect these warnings,
they are the danger signals Nature flashes to
you for help. You must neutralize and drive
these dangerous poisons from the system, or
sooner or later they will overcome you.
The only true way to cure rheumatism is to
get at it from the inside with Uric-O. II acts
with marvellous swiftness upon the muscles,
kidneys and blood Clears out the sand-like
deposits in the muscles, forces the kidneys to
perform those duties for which they were
designed and neutralizes the acid within the
blood.
Your physician will admit that this is the
only true way to cure rheumatism permanently,
and should know that Uric-O is the one
remedy that will do it successfully and per-
manently Uric-O is liquid taken internally,
3 times daily and does not contain drop of
alcohol, opium or other dangerous poisons. 1t
is good for rheumatsmin any form, sciatica,

LETTER TO T. M. CHAPMAN & Co.

Dear Sirs:-What is lumber worth?
Depends on the lumber" you say
"what sort do you want?"
That's how some people talk about
paint. They ask: "Whatll you paint
my house for?'
The Yankee answer is: How do you
want it painted? One coat? two coats?
three coats: first-class or cheap"
The proper answer is: II want the best
paint put on as it ought to be-"
That's Devoe; but the usual answer is:
II want good job; but want it cheap"
Which means: l want you to paint it for
nothing. l want to be fooled.
Lead-and-oil is the costliest paint there
is {: not the best; it used to be best. Devoe
is best. since zinc came in: Devoe lead
and-zinc.
Zinc toughens the lead and doubles its
wear.
Zinc costs no more than lead; and we
grind by machinery.
We have no patent on zinc; but nobody
else is treating it right. Devoe is your
paint. Yours truly
81 F. w. DEvoE & Co.
P. S. A. Calhoun & Son sell our paint.
