POWERFUL GENERAL ATTACK

British Front in France, September 10.
II p. m.-(Via London.)-This morning at
dawn the British made the most power
full general attack. supported by the
heaviest volume of shell fire, since that
of July 1, when the grand offensive be-
gan. The attacking front extends over
six miles, from the region of Thiepval to
the junction with the French army on
the right, or practically the entire line
OF the British advance of the last 10
weeks.
Having gained the whole ridge from the
east of Thiepval through Ginchy and all
the old German second line Notifications,
the British made their next step, a broad
stride down the hill against the newly
constructed German third line. AS the
ceaseless British artillery fire had not
permitted them to dig elaborate dugouts
and other defenses, the Germans became
more dependent on their artillery for
defense. They hav in front of the Brit
ish from Grandicourt to Ginchy 1000 guns,
or $50 to the mile. Thus today still an
other record has been made in the volume
OF projectiles thrown by either side.
NEW TYPE OF MORTAR

fire the British brought into action for
the first time today a new type of ar

Why 81 Anuric" is an
IN s u r A N G e
AGAINST Sudden Death.

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are a good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience-such as DR.. Pierce of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, NY. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery,
vAnuric." Write him your symptoms
and send a sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
"Anuric" is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being so many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration Of the blood vessels, as
we'll as regulating blood pressure.
"Anuric" is a regular insurance and
ife.saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit lime-salts in their joints.
Ask the druggist for vAnuric" put up
by DR.. Pierce, in 50-cent packages.
