Uric Acid Poisoning!

The most eminent physicians rec
ognize that uric acid stored up in the

that this uric acid poison is present
in the joints, muscles, or nerves. By
experimenting and analysis at the In

in Buffalo, N. Y, DR.. Pierce discov-
cred a combination OF native RENE
dies that he called Anuric-which
drives out the uric acid from the sys-

are sufferer from rheumatism, back
ache, pains here or there, you can
obtain Anuric at any drug store and
get relief from the pains and ills
brought about by uric acid.

The Real Thing

Oft in my dreams have l pursued
Across the plains the snorting deer;
And though in frantic fear it 'mooed
l roped the brute and bit his ear.
With perfect skill threw the rope
And sent it hurtling through the
air.
Oh, when it came to cowboy dope
Believe me, kid, l was a bear
Neer for excitement keen l pined-
1 had the wild west in my mind.
The widest broncho in all the
bunch,
Boldly bestriding, 1 would spur,
| Spite of its flip-flap, dive or hunch,
And stick upon it like burr.
1 never pulled the leather yet,
But always beat the pony out,
At riding buckers, kid, you bet,
was a moose without a doubt
The woolly west in widest type
I had the whole thing in my pipe.
In many a game / sat o. nights,
And played a reckless hand, indeed,
And when it came to guns and fights
Believe me, kid, had the speed
Bank! Bang!" 1t was a furious
sight
The way l got my guns In play,
And pulled a while, kid, in my way.
Always to war l was inclined
In this great wild west in my mind.
But since I've seen the Roundup
show,
And watched the way that things
are done,
And how the bucking bronchos go,
And steers are thrown in Pendleton,
THE truth has got the fiction
thrown"
