THE CAUSE OF B@ACKAcHE, RHEUMATISM, LUMRAGo

Ever since the discovery Of uric acid
In the blood by Scheele, in 1775, and
the bad effect 1t had upon the body,
scientists and physicians have striven
to rid the tissues and the blood Of
this poison. Because of its over
abundance in the system It causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu-
matism, govt, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. It was DR.. Pierce who dis
covered a new agent, called "Anuric,"
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys-
