against the aggressions OF autocratic and
self-pleasing power.
For these things we can afford to pour
out blood and treasure. For these are
the things we have already professed to
desire, and unless we pour out blood and
treasure now and succeed, we may never
be able to unite or show conquering force
again i'm the great cause of human lib

submit II the forces of autocracy can
divide us, they will overcome us; if we
stand together victory is certain and the
liberty which victory will secure. We
can afford then to be generous, but we
cannot afford then or now to be weak or
omit any single guarantee of justice and
security"

ACID POISONING!

The most eminent physicians recognize
that uric acid stored up in the system is
the cause of gout and rheumatism that
this uric acid poison is present in the
joints, muscles, or nerves. By expert
menting and analysis at the Invalids
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y, DR.. Pierce discovered a combina-
ton of native remedies that he called
An-u-ric, which drives out the uric acid
from the system, and in this way the
pain, swelling and inflammation subside.
If you are sufferer from rheumatism
backache, pains here or there, you can OBJ
tain Anuric double strength, at any drug
store for 60 cents, and get relief from the
pains and ills brought about by uric acid :;
or send DR.. Pierce 10c for trial pkg Anu
ric which you will find many times more
potent than lithia and eliminates uric acid
almost as hot water melts sugar. A short
trial will convince you. Send a sample of
your water to DR.. Pierce and it will be
tested free of charge.
Anuric is a regular insurance and life
saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit lime-salts in their joints.
