Died of Premature Old Age

How many times we hear Of COM
paratively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 70
or so years of age. This fatal work is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as
when the kidneys degenerate it causes
auto-intoxlcatiOn. 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.
1t 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 it dissolves uric acid as water does
sugar.
