It Takes Steady Nerves
Guarding our lines is like guarding our health we must encourage
the care of our bodies train our organs for bodily endurance, efficiency
and full achievement. We must takte advantage of all the known meaiu
to conserve our health. It is not so much a necessity to fight disease
as to cultivate health for long life, happiness and contentment.
If we wish to prevent old age coming too soon or the sudden attack
of lumbago or rheumatism, if we want to increase our chances for long
life Dr. Pierce says: "Keep the kidneys in good order! Try to
eliminate through the skin and intestines the poisons that otherwise clog
the kidneys. Avoid eating meat as much as possible; avoid too much
salt, alcohol, tea. Try a milk and vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
obtain Anuric, double strength, at , druggists, and exercise so you per-
