RHEUMATISM CANNOT

URIC-O is USED
Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and
Paralysis Are Caused by Poison
Gus Uric and Rheumatic Acids

The Rheumatic person is skeptical regarding
the claims Of almost any remedy advertised as a
cure for Rheumatism and one can scarcely
blame him for being 80. | the plasters and
linimen,s combined never actually cured case
of Rheumatism. They may relieve 1t In one
quarter, but it Is sure to break out somewhere
else. The only true way to cure Rheumatism Is
to drive 1t from the system, for as long as the
Uric and Rheumatic Acid remains IN the blooi,
one is never entirely free from the trouble
This Is where the value Of Uric-0 as a perma-
nent cure for Rheumatism comes In. 1t seeks
out the Rheumatic poison In the blood, muscles,
and Kidneys, renders it inert and harmless and
drives It out of the system. That is why Uric.O
Is such an admirable and effective cure for
Rheumatism,
The chief reason that Uric.O is such Won
derful cure for Rheumatism Is, that 1t is design
ed and prepared to cure Rheumatism and Rht u
matism only 1t is composed Of per. ect anti
Totes for the rheumatic acid poison In the sys-
tenn. That is the secret Of Its wonderful success.
