URIC ACID IN THE SYSTEM
BY LEE H. SMITH, NJ D.

Uric acid IS now generally recog-
nized as the cause OF more diseases
than was heretofore believed. When
the kidneys are out OF order uric acid
aecumulates within the body in super
abundance. The disordered kidneys
do not filter the poisons out OF the
blood, as they ought TO do, and so the
poisons remain IN the blood and float
around until they ind q place TO
lodge, In form OF urate salts. The
thing to remember Is that you may
have rheumatism n any part Of the
body-you may have pains anywhere
your back may ache and your heal
may be dIzZy-but the trouble Is not
where the pain appears.
The trouble IS IN the kidneys, and
what Il the first thing TO do2 You muss

TEN, which can be done By taking Anurie
Tablets, the splendid remedy which Dr..
