Old Looks :?
(BY DIR. l.. H. sMITH)

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or bald
head in early years Is, indeed, often a
sign of uric acid. The face appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing In young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest: Drink copiously Of pure water
between meals. This will not make
you fat, as 1t Is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain at
any drug store n package Of Anuric
double strength, which is to be taken
before meals, in order to expel the uric
acid from the system. The painful eff
fects of backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt, due to uric acid in the blood
should quickly disappear after treat
ment with Anurlc.

Throat Weakened by Diphtheria
Daughter Caught Cold Easily

but during one Of her bad spells
my druggist sent me package Of
Vap-O-Rub. l used 1t for four
nights on her throat, and got such
good results that now l don't like
to be without it. l have used It
for myself and husband for bad
colds, and found 1t just fine."
The way to keep the family free
from colds is to keep the windows
wide open at night, SO that plenty Of
fresh air can circulate in the bed
room. Then whenever they show the
first signs Of q cold, rub Vap-O-Rub
well over the throat and chest and
cover with warm flannel cloth. Leave
the covering loose around the neck,
as the heat of the body releases the
ingredients in the form of vapore.
These soothing antiseptic vapors are
breathed in with each breath, all night
long through the air passages to the
lungs, and at the same time Vap-O.
Rub Is absorbed through and stimu-
lates the skin, aiding the vapors in
hailed to break up the congestion. The
next morning the phlegm is loosened
and the soreness gone from the lungs.
