scientists and physicians have striven
to rid the tissues and the blood of

backache, pains here and there, rheu-
matism, govt, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. 1t was DR.. Pierce who dis
covered new agent, called "Anuric,"

eradicate this uric acid from the sys-
tenn. "Anuric" is 81 times more po-
tent than Hthid, and consequently you
