Have You Backache,
Gout, Rheumatism?
(By M. G. Lucas, M. d.


American men and women should
guard constantly against kidney
trouble, because we eat too much
and all our food is rich. Our blood
Is filled with uric acid which the
kidneys strive to filter out, they
weaken from overwork, become slug
gish; the eliminative tissues clog
and the result is kidney trouble,
bladder weakness and often the
poison reaches the tissues, causing
rheum atism and govt.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
Of lead, when your back hurts or the
urine is cloudy, full Of sediment, or
you are obliged to seek relief twJ
or three times during the Mig,
when you suffer with sick headachn,
or dizzy, nervous spells, acid storm
aCh, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, ask your drug
gist for Anuric double strength |
heve found in practice that Anuric
is more potent than lithia and in
most cases it will dissolve the uric
acid as hot water does sugar.
Most people do neglect themselves.
Their tongue has a dark brown color,
skin sallow, breath bad, yet they fail
to see that their machinery needs at
tention. Everybody should take a
mild laxative at least once a week.
A. pleasant way to clear the tongue
and the highly colored water noticed
in the morning is to take a laxative
which will cure the inactive liver
and biliousness.
A pleasant vegetable pill is made
up Of May-apple, leaves of aloe, and
jalap, made into tiny pellet and
coated with sugar. First put up by
DR.. Pierce nearly so years ago.
Druggists sell these, vegetable pei

Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

Daily Stock Letter.

limited Press Leased Wire Service. J
NEW YORK, April 13.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
There was not a great deal OF inter
est manifested in the stock market
today. Trading was quiet and OF
professional origin. Such animation
as there was in advance, was dis
played by the railroad list which de-
veloped firm undertone with good
demand for the leading issues in that
department on Washington reports
that the interstate commerce commits
sion would be ready to pass on the
freight rate application next week.
Industrial stocks were neglected and
inclined to waver within narrow lin
its for the most part, following the
buying movement in the early session.
After the initial advance, indus
trial stocks were narrow on both
sides Of the previous closing level
and sluggish to a degree. There was
distinct weakness in the motor
group. The steel and copper shares
were generally firm. Occasionally a
strong spot developed like Mexican
Petroleum on brighter outlook with
respect to the threatened oil embargo.
Trading in rails continued more or
less animated under the lead of I'm
ion Pacific and Reading, the latter
gaining some three points. Prices
were easier in the late trading.
