Rheumatism Cannot
Be Cured Unless
uric-0 Is Used
Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and
Paralysis Are Caused BY Poison
Gus Uric and Rheumatic Acids.

The Rheumatic person is skepticai
regarding the claims of almost any
remedy advertised as n cure for
rheumatism and one can scarcely
blame him for being SO. All the
plaSterS and linmentS combined never
actually cured 4 case of rheumatism.
They may relieve it in one quarter.
but it is sure to break out somewhere
else. The only true way to cure
Rheumatism is to drive it from The
system for as long as the Uric and
Rheumatic Acid remains in the blood,
one is never entirely free from the
trouble. This is where the value of
tric-O as a permanent cure for
Rheumatism comes in. 1t seeks out
the Rheumatic poison in tn" 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 t-ric-O is such
wonderful cure for rheumatism Is.
that it is designed and prepared to
cure rheumatism and rheumatism
only. 1t is composed Of perfect anti
dntes for the rheumatic acid poison in
the system. That is the secret of its
wonderful success. rheumatism
simply cannot exist in a persons sys-
TEN if Oric-O is used.
Uric-O is sold by druggists at I5c.
and S1.00 the bottle. but if you still
feel skeptical about its efficacy you
can test it free of charge by cutting
out this advertisement and sending
same. together with your name and
address. also the name of your

The attention Of the postotiice de-
partment has been called to the prac-
tice of some patrons Of the rural de-
livery of placing loose coins in their
boxes each time they desire to dispatch
letters instead of supplying themselves
with postage in advance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue hardship
on rural carriers in removing loose
coins from boxes and delays them on
the service of their routes. The post
master therefore urgently requests
that patrons Of rural delivery provide
themselves and keep on hand a supply
Of stamps consistent with and in adj
vance Of their reeds. 1t is also very de-
sirable that rural patrons place in their
mail boxes small detachable cups of
wood or tin in which to place coins.
