THE ENEMY OF URIC ACID
Is ANURlC.

In spite OF the best care one takes
of oneself any part OF the human ma
chine is Liable TO become out OF order.
The most important organs are the
stomach, heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the Scayengers and
they work day and night in separating
the poisons from the blood. Their
signals OF distress are easily recOg
nized and include such symptoms as
backache, depressions, drowsines 4,
irritabiity, headaches, dizziness, rheu-
matte twinges, dropsy, gout.
The very best way to restore the kid
neys to their normal state is to drink
plenty Of pure water and obtain a
small amount Of Anuric which is dis,
pensed by most every druggist An,
uric double strength is inexpensive
and should be taken before meals. 1t
is much more potent than lithia and
many find that Anuric dissolyes uric
acid as water does sugar
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as
do the bowels, need to be flushed oc
casionally The kidneys are an elimi
native organ and are constantly work
ing, separating the p0isOns from the
blood. Under this continual and per
petual action they are apt to congest
and then trouble starts Uric acid
backs up into the system, causing
rheumatism, neuralgia, dropsy, and
many other serious disturbances. II
means that you are a victim to uric
acid poisoning. Then ask your drug
gist for Anuric, which was first dis
covered by DR. Pierce Of the Surgical
Institute in Buffalo and which Is dis
pensed by nearly every druggist il
