'' Who Will Win
This Battle ?"

Your kidneys are the filters of the body.
If they become inactive and fail to elm
mate the waste matter, they are apt to
throw the whole mechanism of the body
out of order, thus toxic poisons can ac-
cumulate in the system and be as deadly
as snake venom.
Besides causing the minor ailments of
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and back
ache, neglect of the kidneys is apt to
develop into more serious diseases, such
as diabetes or stone in the bladder.
Rid the body of toxic poisons = clean
the bladder and kidneys and cure the
twinges of rheumatism with Anuric
and you win the battle of life.
Anuric was first discovered by DR.. Pierce,
and has benefited thousands of sufferers
as well as appeased and eliminated the
ravages of the more serious kidney dis
eases. Now procurable at any good drug
