William G.. Bartlett of Katonah has lost
his claim for 81 800 against the state OF

The decision of the court of appeals

affirmed a judgment for that amount
granted by the court of claims. The
case was the first action of its kind
ever tried in the state. The court OF

81 e. URIC 7"
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY

This is q recent discovery of Doctor
Fierce, who is head of the Invaids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
n. y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce'5
Hospital for several years proved that
there Is no other elimiAator OF uric acid
that car be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms of inham-
nation as backache, scading urina
and frequent urnation, rs well as sedi-
ment in the urine, or il uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, il ia
simply wonderful how surely uAnuricp
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 persistently accom-.
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go TO your nearest drug store and
simply ask for 50-cent package of
UAnuric," manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or send 10 cents TO DR.. Pierce for a
large trial package. Ii you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send him a
sample OF your water and describe
symptoms. Doctor Pierce's chemist
will examine it, then DR.. Pierce will
report to you, without fee or charge.
NOTE: French scientists affirm that
oAnuric' is thirty seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscentiously using one box - or
more in extreme cases as "Anuric'
(thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement)
is by tar the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.

It Works! Try It
Tells how to loosen a sore,
tender corn so II lifts
out without pain.


Good news spreads rapidly and drug
gists here are kept busy dispensing
frcezone, the ether discovery of a Gin
cinnati man, which is said to loosen
any corn so it lifts out with the fingers.
Ask at any pharmacy for quarter
ounce of freezone, which will cost very
little, but is said to be sufficient to rid
ones feet of every hard or soft corn or
callus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn
is so snriveled that it lifts out with
out pain. 1t is sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
infames or even irritates the adioin-
ing tissue.
This discovery will prevent thou
