A New King on the Throne!

“Malaria,” aa a “popular ailment,” has g iven place to a new potentate. If you have Rheumatism now. the medical wiseacres exclaim —“Uric Acid!” If you have frequent headaches, they sagely remark—“ Uric Acid!" If you have softening of the brain, they Insist that it is—“ Uric Acid!" If Sciatica or Neuralgia make life miserable, it is—“ Uric Acid!” If your skin breaks out in Boils and Pimples, it is—“ Uric Acid!” If you have Anscesses and Piles, “Uric Acid” has set your bood on Are. If you have dull, languid feelings, backache, kidney or bladder troubles, gout, gravel, poor blood; are ill at ease, threatened with paralysis, apoplexy, or vertigo; are bilious, dropsical, constipated or dyspeptic—- “ Uric Acid” is the key to the situation, the cause of all your difficulties! We do not know as Madam Malaria will take kindly to this Masculine Usurper, but he has evidently come to stay. • “Uric Acid,” —this Monster, is the product of the decomposition—death—constantly taking place within us, and unless he is every day routed from the system, through the kidneys by means of some great blood specific like Warner’s safe cure, which Senator B. K. Bruce says snatched him from its grasp, there is not the least doubt but that it will utterly ruin the strongest human constitution. It is not a young fellow by any means. It has a long and well-known line of ancestors. It is undoubtedly the lather of a very great family of diseases, and though it may be the fashion to ascribe progeny to it that are not directly its own, there can be little doubt that if it eace gets thoroughly seated in the human system, it really does introduce into it most «f the ailments now, perforce of ■fashion, attributed to its baleful influence.
