The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system Is the cause OF gout and rheu-
matism. that this uric acid poison is
deposited in the joints, muscles. or
nerve-sheath. BY experimenting and
analysis at the Surgical Institute in
Buffalo. MY, Dr. Pierce discovered q
combination OF native remedies that he
called Anuric which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and In this
way the pain, swelling and inflamma'
uon subside. II YOU are a sufferer from
rheumatism. backache, pains here or
there. you can obtain Anuric double
strength at any drug store and get re-
lief from the pains and ills brought
about by uric acid.
| swollen hands. ankles, feet are due to
Ia dropsical condition often caused by

with poisonous uric acid which settle.
