the blood, while the bowel pores do,
says a well-known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
we'll flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, a glass of hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen-

Get a quarter pound Of limestone
phosphate from your druggist or at
the store. 1t is inexpensive and al
most %tasteless, except a sourish
tinge which is not unpleasant. Drink
phosphated hot water every morning
to rid your system Of these vile poi
sons and toxins; also to prevent their

Burial of a Tram.

From the Spokane Cathedral Chimes.
A tramp about 80 years old was found
without speaking and could not be identi-

burial, and new clothes and a coffin were
bought. The man was buried in the VIII

Uric Acid Poisoning?

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system Is the cause Of rheumatism,
that this uric acid poison is present in
the joints, muscles, or nerves. BY ex-
perimenting and analysis at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, N. y, DR.. Pierce discovered a
combination of native remedies that he
called Anuric-which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and in this
way the pain. swelling and inflamma-
ton subside. If you are sufferer from
rheumatism, backache, pains here or
there, you can obtain Anuric at any
drug store and get relief from the
pains and ills brought about by uric
acid; or send DR.. Pierce 1Oc for trial
pkg. Anuric which you will find many
times more potent than lithia and
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial will convince you.
