The Enemy of Uric
Acid Is Anuric
CBy L. H. SMITH, NJ. d.

In spite of the best care one takes
of oneself, any part of the human ma
chine is liable to become out of or
der. The most important organs are
the stomach, heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separat-
ing the poisons from the blood Their
signals of distress are easily recog-
nized and include such symp oms as
backache, depressions, dro ssiness,
irritability, headaches, d Zziness,
rheumatic twinges, dropsy, out.
The very best way to rest ore the
kidneys to their normal state is to
drink plenty of pure water and OBJ
tain small amount of Anuric, which
is dispensed by most every druggist.
Anuric double strength) is inexpen-
sive and should be taken before
meals. 1t is much more potent than
lithia and many hnd that Anuric dis
solves uric acid as water does sugar
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, lust as do
the bowels, need to be flushed occa-
sionally. The kidneys are an elimina-
tive organ and are constantly work
ing. separating the poisons from the
blood. Under this continual and per-
petual action they are apt to congest,
and then trouble starts. Uric acid
backs up in the system, causing rheu-
matism, neuralgia, dropsy and many
other serious disturbances. 1t means
that you are a victim to uric acid
poisoning. Then ask your druggist
for Anuric,. which was first discover
ed by DR.. Pierce, of the Surgical In
stitute in Buffalo, and which is dis
pensed by nearly every druggist in
the land.-Adv.

the extract from medicinal herbs, and
that is one of the outstanding reasons
why Plant Juice has taken such a holu

people testifying to the great benefit
