try eating a little Sargol with their

NOTE: It is now asserted with con-
hdlence that these painful effects due to
uric acid in the system are entirely eradi-
Gated. A new remedy, called vAnuric"
has been discovered by DIR. Pierce, and is
the cause of drainage outward of the
within the body. 1t will ward off back
ache, headache, and the darling pains and
aches of articular or muscular rheuma-
tism-of those diseases which are caused
by too much uric acid, such as govt,
asthma, sci2tica, renal calculus. IAN
uric prolongs life because old people usu-
ally suffer from hardening and thickening
of the walls of the arteries, due to the
excess of uric acid in the blood and
tissues.
DIR. Pierce, who is director and chief
physician at the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, has
been testing this wonderful medicine for
the relief of over worked and weakened
kidneys. The relief obtained by sufferers
has been so satisfactory that he deter
mined to place TAnuric with the prin-
cipal druggists in town where people
could get this ready to-use medicine.
NAnuric" IS not harmful or poisonous,
but aids nature in throwing off those
poisons within the body which cause so
much suffering, pain and misery Scien-
fists assert this remedy is 81 times more
potent than ithia. Send 10 cents for
large trial package.
~Anuric" is building up a reputation as
good as DIR. Pieree'S other Well-known
medicines which have been proved reli-
able during nearly fifty years, such as
