Bodily Housekeeping

(BY V. NJ. PIERCE, NJ. d.
The subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation by
me9ns Of X-rays, the observations of
scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner,
Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance Of water taken during d.
gestion is necessary in good bodily
housekeeping.
If your kidneys are sick, or you suf-
fer with lumbagc or rheumatism at
times, pain in the back or back Of the
neck, take little Anuric before meals.
This can be found at any good drug
store. Therefore my advice to young
or old is, always drink plenty of pure
water. And for long life, occasionally
take tablets Of Anuric three or four
times day.
Anuric acts-much more quickly
than lithia. You will find it dissOlves
uric acid as water does sugar.
