ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD
PREPARE FOR WAR.

The first test a man Is put thru for

animation OF his water. This is most
essential because the kidneys play a
most important part in causing pre-
mature old age and death. The more
injurious the poisons passing thru the
Kidneys the sooner comes decay-so
says DR.. Pierce of Surgical Institute
Buffalo, N. Y, who further advises
all people who are past thirty to pre-
serve the vitality of the kidneys and
free the blood from poisonous ele-
ments, such as uric acid-drink plenty
of water-sweat some daily and take
Anuric, double strength before meals.
This An-uric is a late discovery of
DR.. Pierce and is put up In tablet
form. and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache.
