THE NEWEST "
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY
This is n recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute) at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments, ut Doctor Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric acid
that can bo compared tu it. For those
easily recognised symptoms of inltam
mnti'on ns backache, sculding urine
and frequent urination, as well as sedi
ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely "Anuric"
acts. The best of results ure always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the joints, in gravel and gout, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
bo frequently nnd persistently accom
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
lib to your nearest drug Btore and
3'iniplv ask for a fill-cent package of
"Anuric," manufactured by Dr. Pierce,
or send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce for a
i large trial package. If you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send bim a
' sampfe of your water and describe
Byiupunns. Doctor Pierce's chemist
will examine it, then Dr. Pierce w'jf
report to you, without fee or charge, t
I Notei - French scientists affirm that
! Anuric " is thirty -seven times more
active loan muiu ill cimiiii.iiing mm
acid, and is a harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be Bafely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups w ho actually wish to
restore their kidneys Ui perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box or
more in extreme cases as "Anuric"
(thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement)

bladder corrector obtainable.
