WHY "ANURIC Is An Insu Against Sudden Death!
Sufferers rom Backache, and Kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on yonr life the examining
physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
and pains of lumbago, rheumatism
and govt. The urine is often cloudy,
full of sediment; channels often get
sore and sleep is disturbed two or
three times a night. This is the time
you should consult some physician of
wide experience-such as DR.. Pierce,
Of the Invalid's Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10
cents for sample package of his new
discovery "Anuric" Write him your
symptoms and send a sample of
urine for test. Experience has taught
DR.. Pierce that "Anuric" is the most
powerful agent in dissolving uric acid,

Bay isn't selfish. So I'll not Dor
