Kidney & Co.
(BY DIR. J. II. WATSON

The kidneys and the skin work in har- mony. They're companions, the skin being the second partner. If we are anxious to keep well and preserve tho vitality of the kidneys and, also, free the blood from noxious elements, we must pay special attention to good action of the skin and to see that the kidneys are flushed so as to eliminate the poisons from the blood
 Sweating, by hard work or in a bath, at least once a week, helps to keep the skin and kidneys in good condition. Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty of pure water with meals and between meals. Occasionally obtain at the nearest drug store Anuric, which will help flush the kidneys and the intestines. You will find that Anuric is many times more active than ithia and that it dissolves uric acd as hot water does sugar.

THOUSANDS OF THIN, TRAIL PEOPLE ARE RESTORED TO HEALTH BY TAKING
 TANLAC.
FIGURES ARE ASTONISHING
People of Prominence and Unques- toned Integrity Tell What cele- brated Medicine Has Done
 for Them.

NNE of the most noteworthy fea- O lures in connection with Tanlac and the one that stands out more prom inently than any other perhaps, is the very large number of well-knoWn men and women from all parts of the South who have recently reported astonishing and rapid increases in weight as a re- suit of it's use.
 When so many well-known people of unquestioned integrity make state ment after statement, each corroborat- ing the other, the truth of such state ments can no longer be doubted.
 Thousands have testified that this famous medicine has completely re- stored them to health and strength, after every other medicine and the most skilled medical treatment have failed.
 One of the most remarkable cases on record is that if Mrs. Viola Ives, of 315 Cross Street, Little Rock, Ark, whose statement appears below.
 ''In May of 1913," said Mrs. Ives, q suffered a complete breakdown of my lerveS and my entire system gave way. About six weeks afterwards I was carried to the hospital. I became perfectly helpleSs-couldn't move any part of my body and just lay there in bed for five months, not knowing any thing or anybody. I was brought home in October 1915 and tried all kinds of medicine and everything I was told about.
 'I read about so many people get ting relief by taking Tanlac and my husband got me q bottle. After talk Ing three bottles I began 10 feel bet ter. I have taken several bottles of Tanlac now and I can walk anywhere and sleep like child. When I took my first dose of Tanlac I weighed only one hundred and twenty-two pounds. I now weigh one hundred and sixty two-an actual gain of forty pounds since started on Tanlac."
 Texas Man Testifies.
 Another remarkable case was that of John NJ. Crabtree, a general mer- chant at Five Mile Station A, Dallas, Tex.
 q have actually gained thirtyfOur pounds on three bottles of Tanlac and I now know what it is to enjoy good health after suffering for twenty years" said MT, Crabtree.
 'I suffered with catarrh of the stom- ach and indigestion for twenty years and for eighteen months, before start ed taking Tanlac, had to live almost entirely on cereals. I spent nearly all of one whole year in bed and was un- able to do anything at all and I fell off in weight to 11S pounds.
 After using my third bottle of Tan lac found I had increased in weight from 11S pounds to 152 pounds, mak- ing an actual gain of thlrty-four pounds all my troubles were gone, and I was feeling like another man."

SsT HAVE just finished my third bot A tie of Tanlac and have gained twenty-seyen pounds" was the truly remarkable statement made by Mrs. Charles Peden, residing at 5o Mill street, Huntsville, Ala.
 "When l commenced taking the medicine" she continued, Il only weighed Linety-eight (9S) pounds; now weigh 125 pounds, and never felt better in my life. For years I have suffered with bad form of stomach trouble, constipation and pains in my side and back. At times the pains took the form of torture, and l was twice examined and each time I was told that l had appendicitis and that an operation would be my only hope.

My sister begged and pleaded with me not to allow them to cut on me and told me to wait and try q good 1 I returned from the consultation room, I thought of what she said, and as had heard so much about Tanlac, I decided to try it and got a bottle.
 'I never returned for the operation. but just kept taking the Tanlac. Right l from the start 1 began to feel better.
 The medicine seemed to take hold right at once.
