BEFORE MEALS---AND HEALTH

instructed us that in case of sickness,
resort to DR.. Pierce's dependable
household prescriptions. These medi-
cines as put up for sale by druggists
have never been recommended as
''cure-alls," but only as superior RENE
dies for certain common and easily
recognized diseases. Had these medi-
cines been adopted to all classes and
forms of chronic diseases there would
have been no necessity for organizing
competent staff of expert physicians
and surgeons, to act in the treatment
of difficult obscure and complicated
cases of chronic diseases, as Dr.Pierce
maintains in his Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute. OF his home RENE
dies the most widely known are his
"Favorite Prescription" for womanly
troubles and rundown conditions Pc
culiar to the womanly sex; his "Gold-
en- Medical Discovery" the greatest
of all herbal system tonics and vital
izers, for stomach liver and blood dis
orders, as well as his pleasant Pei
let's" the tiny, tonic laxatives, over
coming constipation and cleansing the
system of poisons and accommodations
in the bowels.

All people in America and especially
those who are past middle age are
prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit lime-salts in their
arteries, veins and joints. They often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from govt, swollen
hands or feet. Such people are not al
ways able to exercise sufficiently in
the outdoor air or drink enough pure
water in order to sweat freely and ex-
crete impurities thru the skin. DR..
Pierce has conducted experiments and
thoroughly tested a uric acid solvent
at his Invalids Hotel and Surgical In
stitute which he is convinced is many
times more potent than lithia-this he
named "Anuric" 1t can be had at al
most all drug stores by simply asking
for DR.. Pierce's Anuric for kidneys or
backache. 1t will overcome such con-
ditions as rheumatism, dropsical swell
ings, cold extremities, scalding and
burning urine and sleeplessness due
to constant need of getting out of bed
at night.
