"He will improve any baseball club that .gives him a chance as manager, ' 1 Stullings said. In exchange for Mitchell, the Brave will get Outfielder Joe Kelly and sum that was not given out.

The southerner showed a world of cleverness and dazzling speed, but .no inclination to mix with the hard hitting Bronson.

Simply by realizing that these dis tresses are often the onset or sig nals of kidney trouble it is well to get rid of them immediately by toning up the kidneys. The very best way to do this is by tak ing a little "Anur- ic " with the meals. In this way it is dissolved with the food and finally reaches the kidneys, where it lias a tonic ettect. "Anuric" was recently discovered by Dr.Pierce. of BuffalojN Y., where Ll has been thoroughly tested in his ..... . Invalids' Hospital. Manv can at onee issociate Dr. Pierce with his great tomc, "Golden Medical Discovery,' 'and Ms Favorite Prescription universally known as an invigorator for womanly i'ls. Kidney, Bladuer and One Acid troubles bring misery to manv. When the kidneys are weak oi diseased, these nat,,ra) filters do not cleanse the blood suf ficiently, and the poisons are carried to all parts of the body. There follow depression. uhes and pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irritability, headaches, eMMUeaa and rheumatism In some peopl, there are sharp pains in the back and loins, distressing bladder disorders and sometimes obstinate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes forms into arr,vei or kirlnev stones. When the une acid atteets the muscles and joijts, it eaoeCS 'lumbago, rheumatism, gout or sciatica. ' This "Anuric" or Dr. Pieree 's is 3; times more potent than lithia, for it dissolves uric acid in the svstem, as hot fater does sugar Some one daily offers his of her words of praise of " Anuric." Here is what Mr. Charles R. Zampiea has to say: 'I was troubled with rheumatism for a loag time. Just as soon as the weather changed it bothered me. It attacked my legs ami in through the shoulder blades- Kidneys were congested. Recently I used " Anuric " and am pleased to say it has relieved me w0nderfullv " Step in the drug store and get "Anu,ie," or send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial package.
