Backaehe? Rheumatism?

Those of us who are past middle age
are prone to eat too much meat and In
consequence deposit ime-salts in the
arteries, veins and joints. We often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
Iumbago, sometimes from gout, swollen
hands or feet. There is no need of this,
as the new prescription, Anuric, is bound
to give immediate results as it is many
times more potent than lithia in ridding
the impoverished BLOOD Of its poisons
by way of the kidneys. Simply ask for
Anuric for kidneys or backache, the dis
