SELF DEFENSE
Defeat Backache and Kidney
Trouble With Anuric

Many people in this section have suffer-
ed from rheumatism and kidney trouble
and have found that Anuric was the most
successful remedy to overcome these
painful and dangerous ailments
The lucky people are those who have
suffered, but who are now well because
they needed natures warning signal in
time to correct their trouble with that
wonderful new discovery of DR.. Pierce's
called "An-u-ric" double strength). You
should promptly heed these warnings
some of which are dizzy spells, backache
irregularity of the urine or the painful
twinges Of rheumatism, sciatica or lum-
bago. To delay may make possible the
dangerous forms of kidney disease, such
as diabetes or stone in the bladder, If

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Killners Swamp Root IS
soon realized. It stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
We find that 'Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it a trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

great preparation send ten cents to DR..
