URIC ACID.

What It Is, And How It Forms.

A Clear Description of This Most Subtle .Enemy of Modern Life— What a Prominent Professor Says.

A well-known professor connected with a leading medical college, in conversation, recently made the following wonderful assertions:

"There is probably nothing which has ever been known in the history of the world that has caused more misery to men and women than that simple and yet dangerous element called uric acid. This dangerous substance gets into the blood of men and women, and even children, even before they suspect it, and the havoc that it works is simply, appalling It causes rheumatism, neuralgia, gout and pneumonia. It is the cause of most colds and the actual source of nearly every case of grip.

" Ton ask how this dangerous acid gets into the blood? Very easily. The principal duty of the kidneys and bladder are to expel uric acid from the system. They fail to work very frequently, and, instead of being driven from the system, this poisonous uric acid gets into the blood. When once in the blood it ferments, it poisons, it causes unnumbered diseases and too often occasions death,

"It must be plain, even to a uovice, that the only way in which to keep this acid out of the blood is to keep the kidneys and bladder in a strong, a healthy, and vigorous condition. This is the whole problem in a nutshell, and the man or woman who does this is in* variably free from uric acid and the in* finite troubles which it causes. I have never known of but one thing that will in every case drive uric acid from the system, and that is Warner's Safe Cure. It has been found by the medical" profession to be possessed of properties unknown to any discovery of ancient or modern times. I have known of women who hare been weak, sallow, run down, of men who have been debilitated and wholly unnerved, who are to-day pictures of health and strength, and they know as well as I do that the result is due to but one thing— the great cure of which I have spoken." The great truths above stated are as certain as existence, and they reveal the real cause of most physical misery of the present day, and they clearly reTeal the way of escaping from such misery. No man or woman at the present day should be the victim of uric acid poison. That it is very prevalent is most true, but to permit it to get into the system or having gotten there to remain/is simply folly.
