 Once, at recentien in in F-leFeaeettihfe the king inquired of each noble presented what his occupation was.
 .None, your majesty" was the uni form reply.
 At length it came the turn of 6 cer- tain marquis, who had lost caste somewhat among his peers because of his manufacture of pottery.

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 h. valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in Bufalo, N. r., 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 infiamma- 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
 eliminates uric acid as hot water melts sugar. A short trial will convince you.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root, pr. Kilmer's Prescrip-
 tion, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that the kidneys should have more attention as they control the other organs to a re- markable degree and do tremendous amount of work in removing the poisons and waste matter from the system by Altering the blood.
 The kidneys should receive some as- sistance when needed. We take less ex- ercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lame back, annoying bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brick dust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kid. neys require help immediately to avoid more serious trouble.
 An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp. Root. There is nothing else like it. It is Dr. Kilmer's prescription used in pri- vate practice and it is sure to benefit you. Get bottle from your druggist.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. Adv.
