Campaign Dates Cancelled

Owing to the fact that the State Board of Health has adopt ed a ruling to the effect that no public gatherings will be al lowed, and owing to the fact that the Sheriff has instructions to not allow said meetings to be held, on account of the influenza epidemic we will be compelled to withdraw the appointments we have made on the north side of the river.
 If the quarantine should be raised and 1t becomes possible to do SO, we will be at the places at the dates we advertised on the south side
 We regret very much that cir cumstances are such as to pre- vent us from making these ap- point ments. but they are things over which we have no control.

Daily Health Talks
a WORD ABOUT THE KIDNEYS
BY DOCTOR WATSON.


People are easily frightened when
they think something is the matter with
their lungs or heart, and well they
may be; but few people understand
the dangers Of diseased kidneys. These
organs have n duty of vital Importance
to perform, and ii they are diseased,
there is no telling how or where the
symptoms may appear. The kidneys
are filters, and when they are healthy
they remove the poisons from the blood
and purify it. When the kidneys are
diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all
through the system and deposited in
various places, in the form OF urate
salts in the feet, ankles, wrists and
back - often forming bags under the
eyes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
is called rheumatism, lumbago sciatica
and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's
disease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that certain COM
bination of remedies would dissolve uric
acid urate salts } in the system. He
found this combination to be harmless,
so that he made it up in tablets,
of double strength, and called them
Anuric Tablets. They dissolve uric
acid in the human system as hot coffee
dissolves sugar. If you have uric acid
troubles, don't delay in taking Anuric
Tablets, which can be secured in the
drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too, and he will tell you what to eat
and how to live so that more uric acid
will not form in your system. DR.. Pierce
