The Newest Discovery in Chemistry

This is recent discovery of DR..
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Dr. Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric
acid that can be compared to it. For
those easily recognized symptoms Of
inflammation-as backache, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as well
as sediment in the urine, or If uric
acid in the blood has caused rheuma-
tism, it is simply wonderful how sure
ly "Anuric" acts. The best of results are
always obtained in cases of acute
rheumatism in the joints, in gravel
and govt. and invariably the pains and
stiffness which SO frequently and per-
