Kidney & Co.
lBY DIR. ]. q. wATsoNl

The kidneys and the skin work in har-
mony. They're companions, the skin
being the second partner. II we are
anxious to keep well 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 80 as to eliminate the poisons
from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in q bath,
at least once a week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition. Flush
the kidneys by drinking plenty Of pure
water with meals and between meals.
Occasionally obtain at the nearest drug
store Anuric, which will help flush the
kidneys and the intestines. You will find
that Anuric is many times more active
than lithia and that 1t dissolves uric
acid as bot water does sugar.

Mr.. Cooper is firm believer In prac-
tical philanthropy and his relief work
Is familiar to charity workers over the
country. His Southern representa-
tive while In Houston, Texas. a few
weeks ago distributed. upder the per-
sonal direction Of leading charity
workers, one thousand dresses Of excel
lent quality to the poor women and
children. In San Antonio the fol-
lowing week, he donated another thou
sand dresses to the poor Of that city
and few days later four hundred Of
the garments were provided by him
for the poor women and children Of
Galveston. Ladies prominent In social
life and many prominent citizens of
these places assisted and co-operated
with Mr.. Cooper's Representatives in
this worthy cause.

Similar service was also performed
by Mr.. Cooper In Memphis, Birming-
ham, Atlanta, Little Rock. Shreveport,
yicksburg. Jackson. Nashville, Knox
Vile, Chattanooga, Macon, Savannah,
Montgomery, Mobile and Augusta, and
his establishment Of the famous free
bread line at Louisville, where he dis
trIbuted fifty thousand loaves Of bread
absolutely free and without question to
those In want, proved revelation to
charity workers there. In fact. In prac-
tically every city Mr.. Cooper has visit
ed he has always shown his great SYM
pathy for the poor and unfortunate by
performing some unique act of charity.
Mr.. Cooper contends that nine-tenths
of the diseases and Ill health Of the
present day American is due to faulty
digestion and improper assimilation Of
the food, which finally produces
stuffed up condition of the vital organs.
1t has been said that Tanlac, his
celebrated medicine which is now ac-
compllshing such remarkable results
throughout the country, not only quick
ly oyercomes all catarrhal inflamma-
tions of the mucous membrane, but
acts directly In the correction of stom-
ach. liver, kidney and intestinal dis
orders.
Tanlac has been so convinclngly
proven by the thousands upon thou
sands who have indorsed II, Is also a
reconstructive tonic of great power,
The Raymer enterprise., 1917-05-03

and has been known to entirely relieve
the most obstinate cases Of rheuma-
tism and blood disorders In very
short time.
Tanlac's Sale Phenomenal.
II Is, indeed, doubtful II anything
ever placed on the market In the way
of a medicine has sprung into such
popular favor In so short a time.
People everywhere have been quick to
recognize Its wonderful merit. The
demand for It has been nothing short
Of phenomenal.
In Houston, Texas. where Tanlac
was placed on sale seven months ago,
over 10000 bottles have been sold,
which according to druggists Of that
city. has established new record and
is unprecedented In the history of the
drug business. In Atlanta. over 10000
bottles were sold In twelve months
time; In Knoxville. the Kuhlman-
Chambliss Co. sold and distributed
-
vile, KY, the Taylor-Isaacs Co., who
operate eight retail stores In that
city, sold $1,000 bottles In less than
30 days. The demand for Tanlac In
San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Memphis,
Little Rock, Birmingham, Chattanooga
and Nashville, in fact everywhere 1t
has been introduced has likewise been
phenomenal and the demand for It is
continually increasing. A total Of more
than a million and a half bottles of the
medicine has been sold through the
Atlanta office alone during the past
twelve months, and 1t is without doubt
the most widely talked of medicine In
the world today.
When asked to explain this record
breaking demand, Mr.. G. F. Willis,
Southern and Western distributor Of
Tanlac, said: "There can be only one
possible explanation, and 1t can be told
in one word, merit. That tells the
whole story. No preparation. no mat
ter how extensively advertised, can
possibly meet with such phenomenal
success unless 1t possesses extraor-
dlnary curative power"
Thousands upon thousands are testl-
flying daily that they have been re-
lieved of disease after years Of suf-
fering by Its use.

Hastings, Colo, Arpil 30.-virtually
all hope of saving any of the 12O men
entombed in the Hastings mine of the

Friday morning has been abandoned.
James Dalrymple. state coal mine
inspector, who came from the mine,
gave 1t as his opinion that there was
no one left alive in the mine. Rescue
men who have been in the mine ex.
pressed themselves similarly.
G. F. Bartlett, president Of the COM
pany, however, declared the work Of
rescue would 60 on until there is no
hope that any Of the entombed men
are alive.
''in my opinion there was no fire in
the mine" Dalrymple said. In this
view he is Joined by practically all
employers and rescue men here. AS
to the cause of the disaster he said:
1--WE cannot tell until We reach the
initial point Of the explosion. We are
working the north side of the air
course and coming back on the south,
searching every entry in which there
were men working"
