Success Of a. New
Remedy for Backache,
Rheumatism, Kidneys

Folks in Salem ard adjoining coun-
ties are delighted with the results they
have obtained by using "AN-URIC, +"
the newest discovery of DIR. Pierce who
is head Of the INVALIDS' HOTEL
and SURGICAL INSTITUTE, in Buff
falo, N. W Those who started the
day with a backache stiff legs, arms
and muscles, and an aching head (worn
out before the day began because they
were in and out of bed half dozen
times at night are appreciating the
perfect rest, comfort and new strength
they obtained from Doctor Pierce s
An-uric Tablets. To prove that this
is a certain uric acid solvent and con-
quers headache, kidney and bladder
diseases and rheumatism, if you we
never used the 'EAn-uric," cut this
out and send 10 cents to Doctor Pierce
for large sample package. This will
prove to you that "An-uric" is thirty
seven times more active than lithia in
eliminating uric acid-and the most
perfact kidney and bladder corrector.
If you are asufferer, go to your best
druggist and ask for a 50-cent box of
F." An.uric. " You run no risk for DR..
Pierce's good name stands behind this
wonderful new discovery as it has for
the past century for his "Favorite
Prescription for weak women and

USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEH HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture Of
Sage Tea and Sulphur to
Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol add
ed, will turn gray, streaked and faded
hair beautifully dark and luxuriant, re-
move every bit of dandruff, stop scalp
itching and falling hair. Just few
applications will prove a revelation if
your hair is fading, gray or dry, scrag-
gly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea
and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
the ready-to-use tonic, costing about
so cents a large bottle at drug stores,
known as "Wyeth S Sage and Sui
phur Compound" thus avoiding a lot
of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth s Sage
and sulphur, no one can tell, because
it does it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking enc small strand at time;
by morning oil gray hairs nave disap-
peared, and, after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.
