WASH THE KIDNEYS!

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such an important
role in health or disease. By some myS-
ferrous process the kidney selects what
ought to come out Of the blood and
takes it out. If the kidneys are not
good-wOrkmen and become cOngeSted-
poisons accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache, lumbagO, rheu-
matism or govt. The urine is often
cloudy, full of sediment; channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night.
So it is that DR.. Pierce, of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y, advises "Washing the Kidneys"
by drinking six to eight glasses of water
between meals and then If you want
to take a harmless medicine that will
clear the channels and cure the annoy
ing symptoms, go to your druggist and
get Anuric double strength for 60c.
This "Anuric," which Is so many times
more potentathan lithia-will drive out
the uric acid poisons and battle the kid
neys and channels in a soothing liquid.
If you desire, write for free medical
advice and send sample of water for
free examination. Experience has
taught Doctor Pierce that "Anuric" is
most powerful agent in dissOlYing
uric acid, as hot water melts sugar.
Send DR.. Pierce 10c for trial package.
