"The kidneys play a most important
part in causing premature old age and
death-the more injurious the poisons
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay'-so says distinguished
physician, who further advises all people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitality
of the kidneys and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric acid
drink plenty of water-sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, "rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar.
Discovered by DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.
Prevent premature old age by simply
