All people in America and especially
those who are past middle age are
prone to eat too much meat and in con-
sequence deposit lime-salts in their ar
teries, veins and joints. They often
suffer from twinges OF rheumatism or
lumbago. sometimes from govt, swol,
len hands or feet. Such people are not
always 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.

REPAIR CASES
FOR SOLDIERS
IS new plan

Mrs. J. E. Weller started move
ment this morning to have Richmond
women prepare repair cases for the
soldier boys who will pass through
Richmond In the future on the way to
Mexico.
She called up ten women asking
them to make some of the cases and
had them call up ten other women
who in turn called up ten
more. In this way several hundred
cases are now in the making.
These cases are like the ones which
were distributed to the local soldiers
who went to the Spanish-American
war. They contain buttons, thread,
needles and all the like which are
needed by men when on an expedi-
ton.
When the case is rolled up, it takes
up very little room.
