BACKACHE
(By L. H. Smith, M. d.

CBy L. H. Smith, M. d.
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 scavengers and
they work day and night in separating
the poisons from the blood. Their sig
mails of distress are easily recognized
and include such symptoms as back
ache, depressions, drowsiness, irri-
liability, headaches, dizziness, rheu-
matte twinges, dropsy, govt.
The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state is to
drink plenty of pure water and OBJ
tain small amount of Anuric, which
is dispensed by most every druggist.
Anuric is inexpensive and should be
taken before meals. 1t is much more
potent than lithia and many find that
Anuric dissolves uric acid as water
does sugar. s-.-
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as do
the bowels, need to be flushed occa-
sionally. The kidneys are an elimina-
tive organ and are constantly work
ing, separating the pois0ns from the
blood Under this continual and per-
petual action they are apt to longest,
and then the trouble starts. Uric acid
backs up into the system, causing
rheumatism, neuralgia, dropsy and
many other serious disturbances. 1t
means that you are victim to uric
acid poisoning. Then ask your drug
gist for Anuric, which was first dis
covered by DR.. Pierce of the Surgical
Institute in Buffalo, and which is dis
pensed by nearly every druggist in
the land.-Ady. H..
