Submarine Destroyers
Our destroyen and scout ihipi are waiting for the sndden attack
ot the deadly torpedo the watch on the Atlantic is on the lookout
for the first indication of hidden danger it ' a fight for life. For
those leading a quiet life at home it is often the unexpected that hap
pens., It may be that we are mysteriously attacked by pain in our
back or limbs, lumbago, ' 4 neuralgic' ' pains shooting anywhere. Back
ache of any kind is often caused by kidney disorders, which
means that t!he kidneys are not working properly. :' Poisonous matter
and uric acid accumulate within the body in greit abundance, over
working the sick kidneyi; . hence the congestion of blood causes back
ache in the same manner as 'a similar congestion in the head causes
headache. Perhaps you become nervous, despondent, sick, feverish,
irritable, have spots appearing before the eyes, bags under the lids,
and lack of ambition to do things. The latest and most effective means
of overcoming such trouble, is to eat sparingly of meat, drink plenty
of water between meals, and take a single An-uric Tablet before each
meal for a while, or until recovered.
Simply ask your favorite druggist for Anuric Tablets (double
strength). If you have lumbago, rheumatism, gout, dropsy, begin
immediately with this newest discovery of Dr. Pierce, who is Chief
Medical Director of Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y. Send 10c for
trial pkg. All druggists sell large package for sixty cents.
Dr. Pierce's Pellets regulate and invigorate stomach, liver and
bowels. Compound of May-apple, aloes and jalap. Keep the body clean
inside as well as outside. -
