Rheumatism :?

Those of US who are past middle age
are prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit lime-salts in the
arteries, veins and joints. We often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from govt, swollen
hands or feet. There is no longer the
slightest need of this, however, as the
new prescription, UAnuric," is bound
to give immediate results as it is many
times more potent than lithia, in Kidding
the impoverished blood of its poisons
by way of the kidneys. 1t can be OBJ
tanned at almost any drug store, by
simply asking for vAnuric" for kidneys
or backacbe. It will overcome such
conditions as rheumatism, dropsical
swellings, cold extremities, scalding and
burning urine and sleeplessness due to
constant arising from bed at night.
Send to DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y, for l0c. trial package.
MADEIRA, CAL.-0I recommend Doctor Pierce's
Anuric very highly. / have suffered for the last
three years with catarrh of the bladder, having
tried every remedy heard of but without relief.
! saw Anuric advertised in the paper, and like a
drowning man grabbing ut straw l thought
would try it also, which did with great success,
rs it relieved me almost Immediately before had
taken all of tho trial package and having great
confidence in the remedy Immediately sent to
the drug store and bought full-sze package,
! can say to all suffering from any disease Of
the kidneys or uric acid troubles, try this remedy
and suffer no longer. i have great faith In DR..
