URIC ACID IN THE SYSTEM
BY LEE II. SMITH, M. d.

Uric acid is now generally reccg-
nized as the cause of more diseases
than was heretofore believed. When
the kidneys are out of order uric acid
accumulates 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 find place to
lodge, in form Of urate salts. The
thing to remember is that you may
have rheumatism in any part Of the
body-you may have pains anywhere
your back may ache and your head
may be dizzy--but the trouble Is not
where the pain appears.
The trouble il in the kidneys, and
what is the first thing to do? You must
get that excess uric acid out of your sys-
TEN, which can be done by taking Anuric
Tablets, the splendid remedy which DR..
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, has put on sale
in the drug stores at low price. Anuric
Tablets (made double strength), when
taken into the system as medicine, have
the peculiar power Of dissolving the uric
acid deposited there. Drop bit of sugar
or salt into hot water, and it will disap-
pear. In precisely the same way do these
Anuric Tablets dissolve uric acid. OF
course, after Kidding the system of uric
acid, it may return again unless you eat
the right foods and live the right kind of
life, but DIR. Pierce will advise you fully
on proper food and correct living if you
write and ask him. He makes no charge
for such advice. Take Anuric Tablets to-
day, by all means, and get that uric acid
out of your system. Don't, don't, don't,
nut the matter off.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
FADED OR GRAY HAIR
If Mixed with Sulphur it Darkens
so Naturally Nobody
can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beautf-
fully darkened. glossy and attractive
with a brew Of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. BY asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients all
ready to use, at very little. cost. This
simple mixture Gamble depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to It's
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful. ADV.
