THE NEWEST DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY This is a recent discovery of Doctor Pierce, who H head of the Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce's Hospital for several years proved that there is no other eliminator of uric acid that can be compared to it. For those easilv recognized symptoms of inflam- mation as backache, scalding urine and frequent urination, as well as sedi ment in the urine, or if uric aoid in the blood has caused rheumatism, it is simply wonderful how surely "Anuric" acts. The best of results are always obtained in cases of acute rheumatism in the joints, in gravel and gout, and invariably the pains and stiffness which so frequently and persistently accom pany the disease rapidly disappear. Go to your nearest drug store and Bimply ask for a 50-cent package of "Anunc," manufactured by ut. nerce, or send 10 cents to Dr. fierce tor a large trial package. If you suspect kidney or bladder trouble, send him a sample of your water and aescriDe symptoms. Doctor Pierce's chemist will examine it, then Dr. Pierce will report to you, without fee or charge, Note: French scientists affirm that "Anuric" is thirty -seven times more active than lithia in eliminating uric acid, and is a harmless but reliable chemical compound that may be safely given to children, but should be used only by grown-ups who actually wish to restore their kidneys to perfect health, by conscientiously using one box or more in extreme cases as "Anuric" ( thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement) is by far the most perfect kidney and bladder corrector oDtainame. T)r. Pierce's Pellets are the original little Liver Pills. One little Pellet for a laxative three for a cathartic. !8 A Happy Christmas WE extend to our many friends who have made the substantial growth of this Bank possible our ap preciation and we wish each one a joy ous and Happy Christmas and a bright and prosperous New Year. y Ujf ib OPPOSITE COURT HOUSE THOS.

Gifford, of the Ball Rock farm, Maymont, Saskatchewan, Canada, says: "Thanks to Fruitola and Traxo I am still alive. I lay on my back for sixteen days, suffering the agonies of a dozen deaths. I began taking Fruitola and was relieved of a great many gall stones. My health is now fully restored." Fruitola and Traxo are compound ed from the original Edsall formulas at the Pinus laboratories in Monti cello, 111., and can be purchased in Or egon City, Portland, Canby and Hub bard at the Huntley Bros. Co.'s drug stores; a doctor's prescription is not necessary. Fruitola is a pure fruit oil and acts as an intestinal lubricant and disinteerates the hardened nnrti- cles that cause so much suffering, discharging the accumulated, waste to the sufferer's intense relief. One dose is usually sufficient to indicate its efficacy. Traxo is a tonic-alterative that is most effective to rebuild and restore the weakened, rundown system.
