and accurate knowledge concerning the
nature of disease can thus be obtained.
If backache, scalding urine or frequent
urination bother or distress you, or If
uric acid in the blood has caused rheu-
nnatisn, govt or isciatica or you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble just write DR..

NY: send a sample of urine and de-
scribe symptoms. You will receive free
medical advice after DR.. Pierce's chemist
has examined the urine - this will be
carefully done without charge, and you
will be under no obligation. DR.. Pierce
during many years of experimentation
has discovered new remedy which he
finds is thirty-seven times more power
full than ithia in removing uric acid
from the system. If you are suffering
from backache or the pains of rheuma-
