 INSUR ANcE Against Sudden Death.


 Before an Insurance Company will take 8 risk on your life the examining physician will test the urine and report whether you are a good risk. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog, you suffer from backache, sick-head- ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and pout. 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 In7alids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for sample package of bis new discovery, UAnuric." Write him your symptoms and send. a sample of urine for test. Experience has taught Dr. Pierce that UAnuric" is the most powerful agent in dissolving uric acid, as hot water melta sugar; besides being absolutely harmless it is endowed with other properties, for it preserves the kidneys in 9 healthy condition by thoroughly cleansing them. Being so many times more active than lithia, it clears the heart valves of any sandy substances which may clog them and checks the degeneration of the blood vessels, aa well as regulating blood pressure. ~Anuric" is g regular insurance and ife-saver for all big meat eaters and those who depoait ime-salts in their joints.
