A BAD BACK MADE GOOD
fey I. w. Bower N. p.]

Backache of any kiEd is often caused
by kidney disorder, which means that
the kidneys are not working properly,
Poisonous matter and uric acid accu,
mulate within the body IN great abun-
dance, over-working the sick kidneys,
hence the congestion of blood causes
backache in the same manner as q
similar congestion in the head causes
headache. You become nervous,
des fondent, sick, feverish. irritable,
have spots appearing before the eyes,
bags under the lids, and lack OF ambi.
ton to do things
The latest and most effective means
of overcoming this trouble. is to eat
sparingiy of meat, drink plenty OF
water between meals and take a single
Anuric tablet before each meal for a
while.
Simply ask your favorite druggist for
Anuric double strength) If you aren't
feeling up to the standard. If you have
lumbago, rheumatism, dropsy, begin
Immediately this treatment with Anu
ric. Most scientists and medical men
believe that because of an over-abund.
ance of uric acid in the system, uratic
salts are deposited in the tissues and
cause rheumatism and govt.
The physicians and specialists at DIR.
Pierce's Institution in Buffalo, ". Y.
have thoroughly tested Anuric and
have been with one accord successful
in Graduating and throwing off from
the system the uric acid which accu-
mulates and poisons. Patients hav-
ing once used Anuric at this institution
have repeatedly sent back for more.
Such demand has been created
that Doctor Pierce decided to put Anu
ric in the drug stores of this country,
in ready -to-use form. 1t will be their
own fault If those suffering from uric
acid troubles do not take advantage
of this wonderful remedy.-Adv.

Louise, with heavy, silver.plated
candlestick in her hand, stood upon the
uneven floor of the bedroom to which
she had been conducted, looking up at
the oak-framed family tree which hung
above the broad chimney-piece. She
examined the coat Of arms emblazoned
in the corner, and peered curiously at
the last neatly printed addition, which
indicated Stephen and John Strange
wey as the sole survivors Of a dimin-
fishing line. When at last she turned
away, she found the name upon her
lips.
"Strangewey she murmured. "John
Strangewey! It is really curious how
that name brings with it a sense of
familiarity. It is SO unusual, too. And
what an unusual-looking person! Do
you think, Aline, that you ever saw
anyone so superbly handsome?"

pressive.

stood upon a round, polished table in
the center Of the white-fagged floor.

at the bottom of the hill. She and her
servants will spend the night here. I
have explained that there is no village

Louise turned graciously toward the
elder man, who was standing grimly
apart. Even In those few seconds, her
quick sensibilities warned her Of the

bow was stiff and uncordial, and he
made no movement to offer his hand.

II ask for nothing more than a. roo"
Louise assured him.
John threw his hat and whip upon
the round table and stood in the center
of the stone floor. She caught a
glance which flashed between the two
men-of appeal from the one, Of icy
resentment from the other.

He answered her with a sudden

had ridden up from out Of the shad-
