The Enemy of Uric Acid
is Anuric
{By L. H. Smith, M. d.

| In spite of the best care one takes
OF oneself, any part of the human
machine is liable to become out of
order. The most important organs
are the stomach, heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers
and they work day and night in
separating the poisons from the
blood. Their signals of distress are
easily recognized and include such
symptoms as backache, depressions,
drowsiness, irritability, headaches,
dizziness, rheumatic twinges, dropsv
govt.
The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state Is to
drink plenty Of pure water and OBJ
tain a small amount of Anuric.
which is dispensed by most every
druggist Anuric double strength
is inexpensive and should be taken
before meals. 1t is much more
potent than lithia and many find that
Anuric dissolves uric acid as water
does sugar.
People are realizing more and
more every day that the kidneys, just
AZ do the bowels, need to be flushed
occasionally. The kidneys are an
eliminative organ and are constantly
working. separating the poisons from
the blood. Under this continual and
perpetual action they are apt to con.
gest, and then trouble starts. Uric
acid backs up into the system. caus-
ing rheumatism, neuralgia, dropsy,
and many other serious disturbances.
1t means that you are victim to
uric acid poisoning. Then ask your
druggist for Anuric, which was first
by DR.. Pierce Of the Sur
gical Institute in Buffalo, and which
is dispensed by nearly every drug
gist in the land.

choose the winners. 1t Is only fair
to all of the contestants to say that
the markings were extremely close

The rhythm of her selection was
brought out In every tone and word.

all good. but Miss Schlotter seemed
to have a shade the best of the argu-
ment, the judges decided. Hers was

extremely natural in the dialect and
in her gestures. Miss Alta Ribyn was
unusually clever In. very difficult

their splendid work.

Government bond is backed by the
faith and honor of the United

bonds before. and has never failed
to pay every bond when il became

The story told in this drama deals
with the remarkable villainy by
which a wealthy young man wins
beautiful young girl for himself and
wrecks the life of his rival. a rising

which the villain achieves his end is
absolutely startling. 1t is something
