Weekly Health Talks
A Word About the
Kidneys
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when they
think something is the matter with their
lungs or heart, and well they may be; but
few people understand the dangers of dis
eased kidneys. These organs have a duty
of vital Importance TO perform, and if they
are diseased, there is ne telling how or
where the symptoms may appear. The
kidneys are filters, and when they are
healthy they remove the poisons from the
blood and purity IL. When the kidneys
arc diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, an1 ne of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all through
the system and deposited in various places.
in the form If uratc salts-in the feet,
ankles, wrists ard ~back-often forming
bags under the eyes. Sometimes the result
ing trouble is called rheumatism, lumbaro.
sclatica and bacaac.ic. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis.
ease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, in recent
years, discovered that n certain combina.
ton CT remedies would dissolve uric acid
(urate salts) in the system. He found this
combination to be harmless, so that he
made it up in tablets. Of double strength,
and called them Anuric Tablets. They
dissolve uric acid in the human system as
hot coffee dissalves sugar. If you have
uric acid troubles. don't delay in taking
Anuric Tablets. which can be secured in
the drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce.
too. and he will tell you what to cat and
how to live SO that more uric acid will not
form in your systems DR.. Pierce will not
charge for this advice.
