HOW IT HAPPENED "1 ant eighty-three years old and I doctored for rheumatism ever since 1 came out of the army over fifty years ago. Like many others, I spent rtioney freely for so-called 'cures,' and I have read about 'Uric Acid' until I could almost taste it. 1 could not sleep nights or walk without pain; my hands were so sore and stiff 1 could not hold a pen. But now I am again in active business and can walk with esse or write all day with comfort. Friends are surprised at the change." HOW OTHERS MAY BENEFIT These statements may -eem strange to some folks, because nearly all suf ferers hav all along been led .o be lieve in tiie old "Uric Acid" humbug.
