BACKACHE

In spite Of the best care one takes
OF oneself, any part Of the human ma
chine is liable to become out OF order,
The most important organs are the
stomach, heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the soavengers and
they work day and night in separating
the poisons from the blood 1t is only
reasonable to believe that they are
liable TO arrangement. Their signals
OF distress, however, are easily recog-
nited and include such symptoms as
backaehe, dcpressions, drowsiness, irri-
liability. headaches. dizziness, rheu-
matte twinges, dropsy, govt.
The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state OF
health" SAYS DR.. Pierce, OF Buffalo
N. Y. is to drink plenty pure water
and obtain from your favorite phar'
macy, a small amount Of a%nurio, which
is dispensed by most every druggist
Anuric is inexpensive and should b,
taken before meals ADV.
