A NATION OF CRIPPLES
RHEUMATISM BEYOND
CONTROL,
The Only Hope to Rheumatic SUI
feTeTS is uTic-O Treatment

If rheumatism continues To spread as it
has in the past few years, II would seem as
though we would before long become a ma
ton Of cripples. The terrible iestructjveness
Of this disease IS apparent on every side of
US. Almost nine out Of ten of the cripples
one meets had their affection brought on by
Rheumatism. How many thousands more
there are that are hopelessly bed-ridden and
whom we never see. Rheumatism from the
very nature Of the disease, can never cure
itself and if neglecte , IS bound to grow
worse rather than better, II you ever have
any twinge Of Rheumatism g. to Frank W
Bucknam's drug store right here in Skowhe-
gan and get bottle Of Uuc.O, the wonder
full new Rheumatic Specific. Ii will cure YOU
and il is the only treatment in the world that
will cure you permanently and thoroughly
Uric O cures by its direct action on the mus
cles, blood and kidneys. 1t seeks out the
poisonous Uric and Rheumatic Acid and
drives it from the system and ii is only
treatment of such nature that viii ever cure
Rheumatism. Liniments and plasters only
serve to drive il from one spot to another.
They never cure Rheumatism, because II is
primarily a blood disease, and until the
blood is cleared from the poison, cure can
not take place
There never was a case Of Rheumatism
that Uric O could MT cure and YOU should
not put OFF taking it because it is in the end
by far the cheapest method You can test

will provide that the people themse Ives
