DAILY HEALTH TALKS
Better be Careful About Your
Kidneys
BY N. B. COOK, NJ. D.

Foods taken into the stomach go through
various chemical changes, and some of
these changes are poisons that must be
of the kidneys to do this. When the kid
news do not fully perform their vital work,
death may be only q few hours away.
Happily, Nature has provided warning
alarms telling people when their kidneys
are not well. These warnings come in the
form of dragging pains in the small Of tho
back, weak stomach, low spirits, chills,
nausea, headache, scanty urine and fire.
quent desire to pass it, short breath, numb
ness, cramps, coated tongue, bad breath,
puffs under the eyes, thin blood, dry skin,
ringing in the ears, spots before the eyes
and many other symptoms. All come
from the one cause Of kidneys that are not
fltering the poisons out of the system. To
overcome these troubles, DIR. Pierce, Of
Buffalo, N. Y, compounded what he calls
Anuric Tablets. No other kidney medi-
cine is its equal in giving relief and re-
establishing healthful work in the kidneys
The treatment is very simple, as you neec
nothing except water when taking Anurio
Tablets glass Of water with each tablet.
This washes and ffushes the kidneys while
the medicine itself is dissolving the uric
acid poisons and driving them out.
Anuric Tablets are made double strength,
so that they dissolve uric acid the same as
hot water dissolves salt or sugar. Most
people need Anuric Tablets because most
people have uric acid. Better get that
poison out of your body for safety's sake,
and better begin today.
To gently and agrceably coax the bowel
back into normal activity, take DR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are jus
as good for costiveness a. his Anuric Tab

Restoring MesopotamIa.

Under British occupation the fertile
regions Of MesOpOtamia are being re-
stored to productivity, for which this
region was celebrated in Biblical days.
This Is disclosed In official dispatches
received at Washington from Bagdad.
Under Turkish rule in some places
nothing was produced.
The British authorities, to save a
large part Of the population from star
walton and to provide work, immedi-
ately set about, as soon as the Turks
were driven out, to construct canals
for irrigation and to encourage the
population to plan for the next har-
vest. An Arabian labor corps was or
ganized locally and three Indian labor
corps were employed.
AS a result a new irrigation canal
has been opened at Mansarich, sew
enty miles northeast Of Bagdad on the
Dlala river, by which 100000 acres
already are being irrigated.
