1.-THE kidneys play a most important
part in causing premature old age. and
death-the more injurious the poisons
passing through the kidneys the sooner
comes decay"--so says a distinguished
physician, who further advises all people
who are past thirty to preserve the vital:
ity of the kidneys and free the blood
from poisonous elements, such as uric
acid-to drink plenty of pure water
sweat some every day and take Anuric
before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet form.
and can be obtained at almost any drug
store. For that backache, lumbago,
rheumatism. rusty" joints. swollen
feet and hands, due to uric acid in the
blood. you will find Anuric quickly
dissolves the uric acid as hot water does
sugar. 1t was discovered by DR.. Pierce
Of Buffalo, N. Y.
Prevent premature old age by taking
a little Anuric before meals and live to
be hundred.
