Kidney Disorder

(By DR.. l.. I. Babcock.)
Simple methods are usually the
most effective ones when treating any
disorder of the human system. The
mere drinking a cup of hot water
each morning, plenty Of pure water
all day, and little Anuric before
every meal has been found the most
effective means of overcoming kidney
trouble. Death would occur if the
kidneys did not work day and night
in separating poisons and uric acid
from the blood.
The danger signals are backache,
depressions, aches, pains, heaviness,
drowsiness, irritability, headaches,
chilliness, rheumatic twinges, swollen
joints, govt.
1t is such a simple matter to step
into your favorite drug store and OBJ
tain Anuric, which was first discov-
cred by DR.. Pierce of the Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N. Y. Every drug
gist dispenses it.
All people in America, and es-
pecially those who are past middle
age, are prone to eat too much meat
and in consequence deposit uric acid
(uratic salts) in their tissues and
joints. They often suffer from
twinges of rheumatism or lumbago,
sometimes from govt, swollen hands
or feet. Such people are not always
able to exercise sufficiently in the out
door air in order to sweat freely and
excrete impurities through the skin
Anuric will overcome such conditions
as rheumatism, dropsical swellings,
cold extremities, scalding and burn
ing urine and sleeplessness due to
constant need of getting out of bed
at night, by carrying off the uric acid

QUEER GIFTS TO ROYALTY
Odd Ways in Which People Have
Shown Their Devotion to the Race
That Ruled Them.

New Year in the fifteenth century
was not an occasion which was vel.
coined without some regrets, for many
were taxed to meet the requirements
of royalty ON that day. Each titled
gentleman had the form and value of
his gift to the king prescribed. Regu,
lations provided that an earl should
appear at the royal presence chamber
at eight o'clock New Year morning
to deliver a five-shilling purse contain
ing 20-shilling coins to the lord cham.
berlain for the king.
Next the earl visited the jewel-house,
where he received a ticket which en-
titled him to a gift of Is shillings 6
pence. the 6 pence Of which he was re-
quired to give for a box for the ticket.
The same morning he went to another
Office to select a piece of silver plate
weighing about 80 ounces, but left it
until afternoon, when he returned for
it. At that time he gave the ina who
handed it to him 40 shillings in gold,
2 shillings for the box and & pence to
the porter.
A young prince ten years old is said
to have given great pleasure to his
father in 1904 by presenting him with
