NOTE: This wAnuric" is adapted especially for kidney complaints and diseases arising from disorders of the kidneys and bladder, such as backache, weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con gestion of the kidneys, inflammation of the bladder, scalding urine and urinary troubles. The physicians and specialists at~Dr. Pierce's great Institu- tion, at Buffalo, N.
