Causes Paralysis

the Cause.

the Cause.
Paralysis is a disease whose cause
is shrouded in mystery. II yiu we're
to investigate carefully all cases OF
Paralysis you would find that at some
time previous 10 the attack, the patient
suffered from some form of rheumatism
Possibly like so many others, he
thought IL was only a slight matter OF
temporary inconvenience and paid no
further attention TO it, Rheumatism is
not to be neglected with impunity. The
Uric and poisonous Rheumatic Acid
must be neutrallzed and driven from
the system as soon as they put in an
appearance. Do this with Uric-O.
1t is harmless vegetable prepare
ton and does not contain single
drop of alcohol. 1t operates by its
action upon the blood, muscles and
kidneys and cures Rheumatism to stay
cured. We might give testimonials
from thousands of people in all parts
OF the country, but we would rather
have you talk with some one whom
you know aud can believe. Next time
you are down town, just drop into the
store Of b. A. Quinlan, Bennington's
popular druggist, and ask him about
Uric-O. We won't predict what he will
say, but we have confidence enough in
the remedy to leave 1t to him.
Uric-O is not a cathartic, nor does
It affect or distress the stomach In
anyway. Uric-O is cure for Rneu-
matism and Rheumatism only. That
is why it is such great success. 1t
does one thing and does that perfectly.
Most druggists sell Uric-O at 75c and
LOO the bottle, but you can have a
sample bottle free If you cut out this
advertisement and send it with your
name and address to the Smith Drug
Co., Syracuse, N. Y. Sometimes they
send an orderon your druggist for a
75c bottle free of charges in reply to
those requests for q sample.
