THE English steamer Yarrowdale.

on December 81 as a prize by prize

Died of Premature Old AGE

How many times we hear Of compare
lively young persons passing away when
they should have lived to be 70 or so years
Of age. This fatal work is usually attri-
buted to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys
degenerate, it causes auto-intoxication.
The more injurious the poisons passing
thru the kidneys the quicker will those
noble organs be degenerated, and the
sooner they decay.
1t is thus the wisest policy, to prevent
premature old age and promote long life,
to tighten the work of the kidneys. This
can be done by drinking plenty of pure
water all day long, and occasionally TAX
ing a little Anuric 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.
