OUR BOYS IN FRANCE
AND HOME PROTECTION

The men on the firing line repre-,
sent the pick of our American youth
One in four Of our boys at home was
sick, rejected because Of physical dc =
flciency Many times tho kidneys
were to blame.
If we wish to prevent old age COM
ing on too soon, or If we want to in
crease our chances for long life, Dr..
Pierce of the Surgical Institute, But
falo, N. Y, says that you should
drink plenty Of water daily between
meals. Then procure at your nearest
drug store Anuric double strength
This An-uric drives the uric acid
out and cures backache and rheuma
tism.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in
the best condition diet of milk and
vegetables, with only little meat once
a day, is the most suitable. Drink
plenty of pure water, take Anurlc
three times a day for month.
Step into the drug store and ask for
Anuric, or send DR.. Pierce 10c for trial
pkg. Anuric, many times more potent
than lithia, eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar. A short trial will
convince you.

According to Mr. Calvin who will
