important TO Mothers
Diet, Exercise or Death

An eminent medical authority writes
that most OF our city folks die Of a thick
ening OF the arteries or Of kidney dis
ease. The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the poisons from the blood,
and one trouble follows another, high
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidneys. Usually its danger signals
are backache. pain here or there, swollen
feet or ankles. rheumatic twinges or
spots appearing before the eyes.
THE very best remedy is this: Eat
meat but once day, or not at all. Plenty
of outdoor exercise, and drink pure
water frequently. Befors meals take n
little Anuric, the great uric acid neu-
trailer that is easily obtained at the
drug store. When you have dizziness,
chills or sweating, worry, or dragging
pains in back, try this wonderful enemy
TO uric acid, which DIR. Pierce of Buffalo,
N. Y, discovered and named Anuric.
Anuric, more potent than lithia, dissolves
uric acid as hot water does sugar."
