Died of Prema ture Old Ace!

I. How many times we hear Of COM
paratively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 20
or 80 years Of age. This fatal work is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, it causes
auto-intoxication. The more injuri-
GUS the poisons passing thru the kid
neys the quicker will those noble or
gans be degenerated, and the sooner
they decay.
It is thus the wisest policy, to pre-
vent premature old age and promote
long life, to tighten the work Of the
kidneys. This can be done by drink
ing plenty Of pure water all day: long,
and occasionally taking Anuric, double
strength, before meals. This can be
obtained at almost any drug store. You
will find Anuric more potent than lithia
for 1t dissolves uric acid as water does
sugar.

Potatoes.

Irish potatoes and most other vege-
tables and fruits tend to make the
body tissues ind fluids alkaline, so
correcting the tendency Of meat, eggs,
fish and similar foods to create acid

Its work best when it is neutral or
