Ths most eminent physicians recog nize that uric acid stored up In the system is the cause of gout and rheu matism, that this uric acid poison 1 deposited in the joints, muscles or nerve-sheath. By experimenting and . anaylsis at the Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y., Dr. Pierce discovered combination of native remedies thaj. he called Anuric, which drives out the uric .acid from the system, and in ttis way the pain, 8welHng.-and inflamma , tlon subside. If you are a sufferer from rheumatism, backache, pains here or there, you can obtain Anuric (dou ble strength) at any drug store and get relief from the pains and ills brought about by uric acid. . Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to a dropsical condition, often caused -by disordered kidneys. Naturally, ""When the kidneys are deranged, the blood la filled with poisonous uric acid, which settles in the tissues of : the feet, ankles, wrists or back uratic salts, or under the eyes in bag- Ilk formations. It Is Just as necessary to keep the v kidneys acting properly as to keep A the bowels active to rid the body of poisons. The very best possible way to take care of yourself is to take a glass of , hot -water before meals and an Anuric - tablet. In this way It is readily dls- solved with the food, picked up by . the Tlood and finally reaches the kid , neys, where it has a cleansing and tonic effect. , Step Into the drug store and ask for 'a 10-eent package of Anuric, or send Dr. Fierce 10 cents for trial package. - r Anurio many times more potent than 11th la, eliminates uric acid as hot water melts sugar.
