THE NEW METHOD (By L. W Rower. M. D.|

Backache of any kind is often <»us •d by kidney disorder, which means that the kidneys are not working properly. Poisonous matter and uric acid accumulate within the body in great abundance, overworking the sick kidneys, hence the congestion of blood causes backache iu the same manner as a similar congestion in the head causes headache. You become nervous, despondent, sick, feverish, irritable, have spots appearing before the eyes, bags under the lids, and la< k ambition to do things The latest and most effective means ot Welcoming this trouble is to eat sparingly of meat, drluk plenty water between meals and take a single Anuric tablet before each meal for a while. Simply ask your favorite druggist for Anuric if you aren't feeling up to the standard. If you have lumbago.

rheumatism, dropsy, begin immediately this tiealment with Anuric. The physicians and specialists at Dr. Pierce’s great Instltutlpn have thoroughly tested thia prescription anil have been with one accord successful in eradicating these troubles, and iu most cases absolutely curing the diseased kidneys. Patients having once used Anuric at the institution have repeatedly sent back for more. Such a demand has been created that Doctor Pierce decided to put Anuric in the drug stores of this country, in a ready U> use form. It will be their own fault if those suffering from uric acid troubles do not take advantage of this wonderful remedy. And to show his sincere faith, thiji prescription is sold under a guarantee to any person who has taken a full box and has not been helped.
