kidney 6 co.

The kidneys and the skin work IL
harmony. They're companions, the skin
being the second partner. If we are
anxious to keep we'll and preserve the
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 uric acid from the blood. Rheuma-
tism and other distressing symptoms, as
backache, headache, govt, disappear if
you get rid of the uric acid.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
of pure water, with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the near
est drug store-Anuric, which will help
flush the kidneys and the intestines. Ask
for Anuric, discovered by DR.. Pierce.

WILLI1MSTOWN
Willard Sprague's Funeral Was Held
Thursday.

The funeral of Willard Sprague wa'
held at his late home in Williamstowr
Thursday, Nov. %, Rev. John Irons off
eating. The pail bearers were X. NJ
Jeffords, L. c. Little, c. w. Seaver and
I l.. Il. Poor. lnterment was in the vii
lage cemetery.
| The deceased was born in Calais, Sept
| IS. 1881, the son of Lambert and Polly
| (Sabinl Sprague. His father came to
Woodbury. from Rehobeth, Mass, in the
early part of the 10th century. He was
married in 1922 TO Polly Sabin, she be.
ing the first child born in Woodbury.
They left six children of whom Willard
was the last survivor.
Sept. Is, 1885, Willard Sprague married
Dorcas A. Capron of Williamstown One
daughter was born to them, Mrs. n. II.
Virgins of Graniteville, who survives
them. In his youth, by his thrift and
sturdy hard working qualities, typical of
the early Vermonter, he saved enough
to purchase his farm in Williamstown, on
which he remained ten years, exchanging
it in 1876 for the farm where he spent
the rest of his life. Though forced by
the infirmities of age to give up the man
agement of the farm, he continued to do
light work TO the day of his death.
Of industrious habits, kindly DISPOSE
ton, intelligent mind, good neighbor
and loyal citizen, loved by his friends
and respected by all, his death removes
a landmark of former generation.
Eight days previous to his death, his
wife passed away. They were separated
only for a brief period to meet again, we
trust, in happier home above.
