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.
II we want to increase our chances for
long life, DR.. Pierce of the Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y, says one should
drink plenty of water daily between
meals to flush the kidneys. Then pro-
cure at your nearest drug store Anuric

the uric acid out. Scientific men have
learned that in govt, also rheumatism,
poisonous uric acid crystals are de-
posted in or about the joints, in the
muscles-where Inflammation is set up.
Anuric is many times more potent
than lithia and dissolves uric acid as
hot water does sugar.

Why Glasses Are Called Tumblers.

About 1900 years ago the Saxons IN
England used drinking vessels that
were made of horns of cattle or oxen.
They were shaped like canes. AS their
bottoms were pointed, they would not
stand erect. When man had his
drinking horn filled he disposed OF its
contents at a single draught and did
not lay it down until he had drained it.
These horns were tumblers in the sense
that they would not stay upright. Al
though our modern glasses do not have
this Objectionable quality, the name
that originated in early Saxon times
still persists.
