THE NEWEST REr1EDY
FOR
Backache, rheumatism and Dropsy.

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troubles
bring misery to many. When the kidneys
are weak or diseased, these natural filters
do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and
the poisons are carried to all parts OF the
body. There follow depression, aches
and pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness ard rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obstin-
ate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones. When
the uric acid affects the muscles and
Joints, 1t causes lumbago, rheumatism,
NAnurc."
During digestion uric acid is absorbed
into the system from meat eaten, and
even from some vegetables. The poor
kidneys get tired and backache begins.
This Is a good time to take HAnuric,"
the new discovery OF DIR. Pierce for Kid
ney trouble and Backache. Neglected
kidney trouble is responsible for many
deaths, and Insurance Company examin-
Ing doctors always test the water of an
applicant before policy will be issued.
Have you ever set aside bottle of water
for twenty-four hours? A heavy sedi-
ment or settling sometimes indicates kid
ney trouble. The true nature and char
acter of diseases, especially those OF the
kidneys and urinary organs, can often
be determined by careful chemical an
alysis and microscopical examination
this is done by expert chemists of the
Medical Staff OF the 1nvalids' Hotel. II
you wish to know your condition send
sample of your water TO Doctor Pierce's
Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y, and de-
scribe your symptoms. 1t will be ex-
amined without any expense to you, and
Doctor Pierce or his Staff of Assisting
Physicians Will inform you truthfully.
