THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR
BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM And DROPSY.

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troubles
bring misery 10 many. When the kidneys

do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and
the poisons are carried 10 all parts Of the
body. There follow depression, aches
and pains. heaviness, drowsiness, irrita-
bility, headaches, chiliiness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obstinate
drOpsy. The uric acid sometimes forms
into gravel or kidney stones. When the
uric acid Affects the muscles and joints,
II causes lumbago, rheumatism, gout or
sciatica. Write Or. Pierce at once, send
10 cents for large trial package, or so cents
for full treatment of Anuric1 or ask your
druggist for IL.
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.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all 9TH

the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it To-
cal disease and prescribed local re-
medies. and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment pro-
nounced it fncurable. Science has
proven Catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease, and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment.
