There are few cowards in this world.
After hearing what our men have done
on the western front, we are tempted to
say there are none. Seldom does a man
ever run away or break under terrible
shelling or the wild fear "of death. What
a man will do in the strew of battle ap
pears to depend largely on his vital organs.
Our boys on the fighting line are phy
sically fit for military service, because
only about one man out of five was chosen
to endure the hardship of this fearful war.
Very often the kidneys are to blame. To
have strong nerves, a strong will and
"pep," one should have good kidneys;
otherwise a man suffers from backache,
sleeplessness, or is troubled with nerves.
Drive the poison out of the bjood by taking
Anuric, double strength- If the kidneys
are clogged with toxic poisons or uric
acid, you suffer from stiffness in the knees
in the morning on arising, your joints seem
rusty, you may have rheumatic pains,
pain in the back, stiff neck, headache,
sometimes swollen feet or neuralgic paini
aD due to urio acid or toxio poisons
stored in the blood, which should be swept
out. Keep well by drinking plenty of pure
water, and take Anuric three times a day
for a month.
Ever since the discovery of uric acid
in the blood by Scheele, fa 1775, and
the bad effect it had upon the body,
scientists and physicians have striven
to rid the tissues and the blood of this
poison. Because of ita over-abundance
in the 1781000 it causes backache, pains
here and tjiere, rheumatism, gout, gravel
neuralgia, and sciatica. It was Dr. Pierce
who discovered a new agent, called An
uric, which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the system.
Anuric has proved to be many times more
potent than liihia, and consequently you
need no longer fear muscular or articular
rheumatism or gout, or many other dis
eases which are dependent on an ac
cumulation of uric acid within the body.
Anuric sells for sixty cents
