Uric Acid Poisoning!

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the system
is the cause of rheumatism, that this uric
acid poison is present in the joints, mus
cles, or nerves. By experimenting and
analysis at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y, Dr..
Pierce discovered a 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 in
f1ammation subside. If you are sufferer
from rheumatism, backache, 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; Or
send DR.. Pierce 1Oc. for trial pkg. Anuric
which you will find many times more
potent than lithia and eliminates uric
acid as hot water melts sugar. A short
trial will convince you.
Anuric is a regular insurance and life
saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit ime-salts in their joints.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets for the
liver and bowels have been favorably
known for nearly so years.

Protect Baby's Eyes.

DO not let the sun shine directly on
baby's face when out Of doors. Often
We see little children in buggies or go
carts with no protection for the eyes
making vain effort to turn away
from the sun and. failing in this,
squirting their little faces all out OF
shape to protect their eyes. There
should always be a parasol or soms
kind of sunshade over baby's head
and it should be lined with dark green
which is the most restful of colors
White parasols are a snare and delu'
sion, quite useless in affording the nee
essary protection against the SUMS
