THE newest REMEDY FOR
BdCkaChe, Rheumatism and DrOpSy

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid
troubles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are
sharp pains in the back and loins,
distressing bladder disorders and
sometimes obstinate dropsy. The uric
acid sometimes forms into gravel or
kidney stones. When the uric acid
affects the muscles and joints, it
causes lumbago, rheumatism, gout
or sciatica. Write DIR. Pierce at once,
send 10 cents for large trial pack
age, or so cents for full treatment Of
"Anuric" or ask your druggist for it.
During digestion uric acid is alb
sorbed into the system from meat
eaten, and even from some vegetables

BY morning, most If not all, of your

SERVED ITS PJJRPOSE

The more it is discussed the more
apparent it becomes that the. Adamson
law is no law at all. It's usefulness
ceased Immediately after election. II
was used during the campaign and
served the purpose for which it was
intended. Now it is becoming clear
that such law would give neither the
workers, the railroads nor the public
anything like square deal, and the au-
thor of the law will soon stand alone
in the defense of such a nonsensical
measure. The president is not tearing
his linen now trying to make anyone
believe that the Adamson law is the
best thing that ever happened. He
knows better, and he knows it could
not stand the test when he was ham,
mering it through a democratic con-
gress on the eve of election. Labor
needs laws for its protection, and
should have laws, but may the good
Lord deliver us from such freak legis-
lation as is contained in the Adamson
law.-Banner.
