The value Of life has fluctuated
greatly in the different periods of the
worlds history. To the Spartans life
was cheap. The highest duty was to
be soldier; the greatest honor was
to give away life for the state. Ma

his conquest for universal empire
would cost, and he marched on, sac
rificing them. Life had little value.
Under Henry VIII, death was the pun
ishment for stealing three shillings;
there we're 253 crimes punishable by
death; $4,000 persons were executed
in his reign.

less millions. During the thirty years
war 100000 Of Germany's population
were killed. The black death de-
voured 100000 people in Europe dur
ing the fourteenth century. Three
hundred and fifty famines have swept
over the earth since the beginning of
history. Human life has been de-
stroyed like bubbles. Today all this
has changed.
Smallpox and yellow fever, for ages
the two dreaded horrors Of mankind,

THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY

This Is a recent discovery OF Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
Ny. Experiments at Doctor Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator OF uric acid
that can be compared to il. For those
easily recognized symptoms of infam-
m.tion as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urination, as well az 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 arc always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the Joints, in gravel and govt, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
80 frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for a 5O-cent package Of
uAnuric," manufactured by DR.. Pierce.
or even write Doctor Pierce for a iIec
sample. If you suspect kidney or blad-
der trouble, send him a sample OF your
water and describe symptoms. Doctor
Pierce's chemist will examine it, then
DR.. Pierce will report to you, without
fee or charge.
NOTE: French scientists affirm that
uAnuric" is thirty seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is a harmless but reiaDla
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish &c
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box-or
more in extreme cases as "Anurl3"
thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement)
is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.
