THE NEWEST REr1EDY
FOR
Backache, Rheumatism and Dropsy.

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troubles
bring misery to many. When the kidneys
are weak or diseased, these natural filters
do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and
the poisons are carried to all parts Of the
body. There follow depression, aches
and pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matlsm. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obstin-
ate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones. When
the uric acid affects the muscles and
joints, 1t causes lumbago, rheumatism,
gout or sciatica. This is the time to try
NAnuric."
During digestion uric acid is absorbed
into the system from meat eaten, and
even from some vegetables. The poor
kidneys get tired and backache begins.
This Is q good time to take vAnuric,'
the new discovery OF DR.. Pierce for Kid
ney trouble and Backache. Neglected
kidney trouble is responsible for many
deaths, and Insurance Company examin-
ing doctors always test the water of an
applicant before o policy will be issued.
Have you ever set aside bottle of water
for twenty-four hours? A heavy sedi-
ment or settling sometimes indicates kid
ney trouble. The true nature and char
acter Of diseases, especially those Of the
kidneys and urinary organs, can often
be determined by careful chemical an
alysis and microscopical examination
this is done by expert chemists of the
Medical staff Of the Invalids' Hotel. II
you wish to know your condition send q
sample of your water TO Doctor Pierce's
Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. ". and de-
scribe your symptoms. 1t will be eX-
amined without any expense to you, and
Doctor Pierce or his Staff OF Assisting
Physicians win inform you truthfuily.

important to bathe on the inside than
on the outside, because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the
blood, while the bowel pores do. :.

# KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have
been eating too much
meat.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
1t generally means you have been eat
Ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid
which overworks the kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood and
they become sort of paralyzed and
loggy. When your kidneys get slug
gish and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels; remov-
ing all the body's urinous waste, else
you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the wea-
ther is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine Is cloudy, full of
sediment, channels often get sore, wa
ter scalds and you are obliged to seek
relief two or three times during the
night.
Either consult good, reliable ply.
sician at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, can
not injure and makes delightful, ef-
fervescent lithia-water drink.

The Road O. Dreams.

Out on the edge of the work-a-d day sphere,
Far out from tho course of time,
Where the silvered light of the moon
shines clear,
The vesper call-bells chime,
Always, 1t seems
Luring with schemes,
You to the road o. dreams.
And wild and free are thoughts that arise
In breasts of pilgrims there
And bold is the message flashed from the
skies;
"a wreath for those who dare"
Only what seems
Sheds golden CLEANS
out on the road o. dreams.
A poor, poor place is the worls-a-day land
Few of its sweets are real
Compared TO joys that are ever at hand
When the day dreams oer you steal.
What Is what seems
With reality teens,
There In the road O. dreams.
And so we are prone our faith to renew
Daily at eventide,
Knowing our souls will be soaring to view
Joys our flesh Is denied.
Ever It CLEANS
Faith In what seems
Out in the road o. dreams.
