WHY "ANURIC"
IS AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATHi
Sufferers from Daskachs, Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble

take a risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
end pains Of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep Is disturbed two or three
times a night. This Is the time you
should consult some physician OF wide
experience-such as DR.. Pierce, OF the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, II. Y. Send him 10 cents for

"Anuric." Write him your symptoms
and send q sample OF urine for test.
