HOT W ATER AND “ ANURIC” BEFORE MEALS— AND HEALTH All people In America and especially those who are past middle age are prone to eat too much meat and in con sequence deposit lime-salts in their arteries, veins and Joints. They often suffer from twinges of rheumatism or lumbago, sometimes from gout, swol len hands or feet. Such people are not always able to exercise sufficient ly In the outdoor air or drink enough pure water In order to sweat freely and excrete Impurities thru the skin. Dr. Pierce has conducted experiments and thoroughly tested a uric acid sol vent at his Invalids’ Hotel and Surgi cal Institute which he is convinced is many tlm<** more potent than lithla— this he named "Anuric.” It can be had at almost all drug stores by simply asking for Dr. Pierce's Anuric for kid neys or backache. It will overcome such conditions as rheumatism, drop sical swellings, cold extremities, scald ing and burning urine and sleepless ness due to constant need of getting out of bed at night. Our grandmothers have told our mothers and our mothers have in turn instructed us that in case of sickness, resort to Dr. Pierce’s dependable household prescriptions. These med icines as put up for sale by druggists have never been recommended as “cure-alls,” but only as superior rem edies for certain common and easily- recognized diseases. Had these medi cines been adapted to all classes and forms of chronic diseases there would have been no necessity for organizing a competent staff of expert physicians and surgeons, to act In the treatment of difficult, obscure and complicated cases of chronic diseases, as Dr. Pierce maintains in his Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute. Of his home rem edies the most widely known are his ’’Favorite Prescription" for womanly troubles and rundown conditions pe culiar to the womanly sex; his “ Golden Medical Discovery,” the greatest of all herbal system tonics and vitallzers, for stomach, liver and blood disorders, as well as his “ Pleasant Pellets," the tiny, tonic laxatives, overcoming con stipation and cleansing the system of poisons and accumulations In the bowel*.
