Never Mind How Strong Yeu Are—
What d'ye Know?
That's the point—"What d'ye KNOW?"
To-day it's a battle of wits—and brains win
Muscle and brawn don't count so much as they used to.
In the fight for good jobs and big salaries it's brains
—not brawn—that win "What d'ye KNOW?" is the
one great question that draws the line between defeat
and victory tk tween "wages" and "salary" between
you and the Boss.
What do YOU know? Are YOU so expert in some
line of work that you can "make good" as a foreman,
superintendent, or manager? If not, why don't you mark
and mail the attached coupon and permit the Interna
tional Correspondence Schools to show you how you
CAN "make good" on a big job?
For 28 years the I. C. S. have been showing men how to
do better work and earn bigger salaries. Every month over 400
students write of promotions or salary Increases through X. C.
8. training. What the I. C. a are doing for these men they can
do for YOU.
No matter where you live, how old you are, what hours
you work, or how limited your education—lf you can read and
write and are ambitions to learn the I. C. a can train you In
your own lyme, during your spare time, for a more Important
and better-paying position.
Mark and mall the attached coupon—lt won't obligate
you In the least—and the I. C. 8. will ahow you how you can
acquire thla salary-raising ability by their . Imple and easy
methods.

Had Terrible Pains
in Kidneys and Sack.
| Bear Mr. Editor—] want to write yon
1 about "Anuric." I was very sick, could
hardly be up; I was in bed most of the
time. Had terrible pains in my kidneys
| and back, so much so that I had to
. scream sometimes when I was sitting
down and wanted to get up, the pain
j was so great. I had tried a well-known
kidney medicine but it didn't help me.
j I heard of Dr. Pierce's Anurio Tablets
1 so I thought I would trv them. I took
1 only one box of the tablets, and my
back is now free from pain and I can
| work and take care of my family. I
■ feel I cannot say enough for this medi
i cine. Sincerely, MRS. WM. KELLER.
JNOTE: This "Amine" ie adapted
especially for kidney complaints and
disnasen arising from disorders«of tha
kidneys and bladder, such as backache,
■\veak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con
gestion of the kidneys, inflammation
of the bladder, scalding urine and
uiinarv troubles. The physicians and
specialists at Dr. Pierce's great Institu
tion, at Buffalo, N. Y . have thoroughly
tested this prescription arid have been
with one accord successful in eradicat
ing these troubles, and in most cases
absolutely curing the diseased kidneya.
Patients having once used "Anuric"
at Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hot#!, have re
peatedly sent, \iack for more, Such a
demand has been created that Dr. Pierce
has decided to put *' Anuric" in the drug
stores of this country, in a ready-to-use
form. If not obtainable send one dime
by mail to Dr. Pierce for trial package
or 50 cents for full treatment.
