SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease Of the. Kidneys.

g i Is
The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys Is
we'll known nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often given as heart disease, or
disease of brain or lungs.
1t is good insurance against such
risk to send 10 cents for sample
package Of wAnuric ~ the latest dis
covery of DIR. Pierce. Also send
sample of your water. This will be
examined without charge by expert
chemists at DIR. PIERCE Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y. When you suffer from
backache, frequent or scanty urine,
rheumatic pains here or there, or that
constant tired, worn-out feeling, it's
time to write DIR. Pierce, describe your
symptoms and get his medical opinion
without charge absolutely free. This
vAnuricn of Doctor Pierce's is found
to be 81 times more active than lithiaI
for it dissolves uric acid in the system
as hot water does sugar.
Simply ask for DIR. Pierce's Anuric
Tablets. There can be no imitation.
Every package of vAnuricn is sure to
be DIR. Pierce's. You will find the sigma
ture on the package just-as you do on
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
