Kidney Disorder
nY pR. v. NJ. pIERcE.A

The most simple methods are usu-
ally 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 a 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, pains, heaviness, drowsi-
ness. irritabillty, headaches, chilli
ness, rheumatic twinges, swollen
joints DR. govt.
Since 1t is such q simple matter to
step into your favorlte drug store and
obtain Anuric, anyone who earnestly
desires to regain health and new life
will waste no time in beginning this
treatment.

The banner day for the stork was September 27. On that day the first
guanaco ever born at the local zoe made it's appearance The little guanaco
is a first cousin Of the baby llama. The South Americans domesticated the
guanaco and the tame animal became known as the llama. Both mother and
baby guanaco are doing well.

are by far the most interesting family in the park to those who admire
progressive and precious children.
The appearance of the baby coypus was scarcely noted by the officials of
the zoo before their industrious mother had them in the pond giving them
their first lesson in swimming. Zoo officials themselves were very much
amused by the rather premature action of the mother, and expressed surprise
at the rapidly with which the infant animals took to the art of moving
themselves about in the water.
The coypu is q species of large water rodent, which makes it's native
