A Nation Of CrippIes
Rheumatism Be-
yond Control
The Only Hope to Rheumatic
Sufferers is Uric-O Treatment.

If rheumatism continues to spread
as it has in the past few years, 1t
would seem as though we would be
fore long become a nation of cripples.
The terrible deStructiveness of this
disease is apparent on every side of
us. Almost nine out of ten of the
crippleS one meets had their affiiction
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 neglected is bound
to grow worse rather than better. IT
you ever have any twinges Of Rheuma-
tism 60 to your druggist and get a
bottle Of TricO. the wonderful new
and il is the only treatment in the
world that will cure YOU permanently
and thoroughly. Jric-o cures by its
direct action ON the muscles. blood
and kidneys. 1t seeks out the
poisonous Uric and Rheumatic Acid
and drives it from the system and it is
only treatment of such a nature that
will ever cure Rheumatism. Lini-
ments and plasters only serve to drive
it from one spot to another. They
never cure Rheumatism. because it is
primarily a blood disease, and until
the blood is cleared from the poison. a
cure cannot take place.
There never was a case of Rheuma-
tism that Uric-O could not cure and
YOU should not put off taking it. You
can test Uric-O free of charge if you
wish. Just cut out this advertisement
and send it to the Smith Drug Co.
Syracuse, y. Y. together with your
name and the name of your drug"i<'
and state that you have never used
Uric-O and would like to try it. They
will give you free. through your drug
gist a 10 cent bottle. which you can
test and try to your own satisfaction.
Uric-O is sold and recommended by
