Ever since the discovery OF uric acid
in the blood by Scheele, in ITS, and
the bad effect it had upon the body,
chemists and physicians have striven
to rid the tissues and the blood of
this poison. Because of its over.
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu-
natlsm, govt, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. 1t was DIR. Pierce who dis
covered new agent, called cAnuric,n
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys-
tenn. uAnuric' has proved to be 81
times more potent than hthiQ, and
consequently you need no longer fear
muscular or articular rheumatism or
govt, or many other diseases which are
dependent on an accumulation of uric
acid within the body. Send to DR..
Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel and Sur.
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, for a
pamphlet on vAnuric,' or send 10 cents
for trial package OF cAnuric Tablets
II you feel that tired, worn : out
feeling, backache, neuralgia, or if your
sleep is disturbed by too frequent
arination, go to your best drug store
and ask for DR.. Pierce's Anuric Tablets
They are put up in 5O-cent packages.
