Killed by Poisons

All scientists agree that poisonous
products in the blood are eliminated by
The kidneys and liver. The kidneys act
as a kind of filter for these products.
When the kidneys are changed OF de-
generated, by disease or old age, then
these posons are retained in the body
If we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or if we want to increase
our chances for a 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
out. 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
fiammation is set up.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in this
best condition diet of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once day, is
the most suitable. Drink plenty of pure
water, take Anurio double strength }
three times a day for month. Annrie
is many times more potent than hthia-
