Kidney e Co.
BY DIR. J. H. wATsoN)

The kidneys and the skin work In
harmony. They're companions, the
skin being the second partner. If 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 a
good action of the skin and to see that
the kidneys are flushed so as to elimi-
nate 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 drug
store Anuric, double strength, which
will help flush the kidneys and the in
testines. You will find that Anuric is
many times more active than nthia
and that it dissolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.

""The conditions this evening seem
unfavorable. can't seem to establish
