favor Of Urc-O
For several years past, l suffered untold
fortunes from muscular rheumatism. | paid
very little notice to the trouble at first,
thinking it would pass away as grew older,
but instead, from year to year the disease in-
creased until my muscles had become SO
contracted at the knee that | was almost
unable to follow my occupation. Through
the recommendation Of druggist H. Fl. Nut
ter, began the use of Uric-O and have taken
six bottles and can truthfully say the remedy
has entirely cured me.
l have treated with the most eminent
doctors and have used various medicines
recommended by friends, but neither gave
relief.
am glad to testify to the merits Of Uric
o for rheumatism and believe that it will
cure the most obstinate forms of this terrible
disease.
Uric-O is sold and recommended by +. w.

and $500 the bottle. They will furnish
