111- ■" — 11 ■III—To Live Long! A rec-j*’ given by a famous physician I for long life was: “Keep the kidneys in I good ■•nler' Try to eliminate thru the I skin and intestines the poisons that other|v - Ig the kidneys. Avoid eating 1~. • as much as iuwsible; avoid too much s alcohol, tea. Try a milk and vegetuble diet. Drink plenty of water, and exi r :~e so you sweat —the skin helfis to eliminate the toxic poisons and uric acid.” For those past middle life, for those easily recognised symptoms of inflamnia'ion. as backache, scalding "water,” or if uric acid in the blood fix* caused rheumatism, “rusty” joints, stiffnew. get Anuric (double strength). This is a wonderful eliminator of uric acid and was discovered by Dr. Pierce of Invai ds’ Hotel. Buffalo. X. Y. If your druggi-' does not keep it send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce for trial package and you will know that it is many limes more potem than li’hia and that it dissolves uric acid as hot water does sugar, HOME FOLKS TESTIFY. Fort Wayne, Ind. —“ I have been made most comfortable by the use of Ilr. Pierce’s Anuric Tablets. When I started to yA take t his medicine my /'• " ~ lU* right kidney pained me £'., >*\ at each excretion and 'S .

The I first bottle I took of 1 Anuric completely cured me of these con- ! ditions. and the rheumatism in my shoui- ' ders. hands and feet is diminishing so rapidly 1 can scarcely believe that Anuric i has done so much for me in so short a . time.
