Killed by Poisons

All scientists agree that poisonous
products in the blood are eliminated by
the kidneys and liver. The kidneys act
% . kind of filter for these products.
When the kidneys are changed or de-
generated, by disease or old age, then
these poisons are retained in the body.
II we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or if we want to increase
our chances for long life, DR.. Pierce of
the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y, says
that you should drink plenty OF water
daily between meals to flush the kidneys.
Then procure at your nearest drug store
Anuric. This Anuric drives the uric acid
cut. Scientific men have learned that in
govt, also rheumatism, poisonous uric
acid crystals are deposited in or about
the joints, in the muscles = where in
1ammation is set up.
II We wish to keep our kidneys in the
Asnt condition diet of milk and vege-
tGhles, with only little meat once day, is
ne most suitable. Drink plenty of pure
wsteF, take Anuric three times day for
month. An-u-ric is many times more
potent than lithia and dissolves uric
acid q hot water does sugar.
Send 10 cents to DR.. Pierce, if you wish
% obtain trial package of Anuric.
SCHALLER, Iowa. -v For several years

Tablets with such gratifying results that
