Foods taken into the stomach go through various chemical changes, and some of these changes are poi sons that must be sifted out and dis posed of. It is the duty of the kid neys to do this. When the kidneys do not fully perform their vital work, death may be only a few hours away. Happily, aNture has provided warning alarms telling people when their kidneys are not well. These warnins come in the form of drag ging pains in the small of the back, weak stomach, low spirits, chills, nausea, headache, scanty urine and frequent desire to pass it, short breath, numbness, cramps, coated tongue, bad breath, puffs under the eyes, thin blood, dry skin, ringing in tfce ears, spots before the eyes and many other symptoms. All come from the one cause of kidneys that are not filtering the poisons out of the system. oT overcome these troubles. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., compounded what he calls Anuric Tablets. No other kidney medicine is its equal in giving relief and re-establishing healthful work in the kidneys. The treatment is very simple, as you need nothing except water when taking Anuric Tablets—a glass of water with each tablet. This washes and flushes the kidneys while the medicine itself is dissolving the uric acid poisons and driving them out. Anuric Tablets are made double strength, so that they dissolve uric acid the same as hot water dissolves salt or Bugar. Most people need Anuric Tablets be cause most people have uric acid. Better get that poison out of your body for safety's sake, and better begin to-day. To gently and agreeably coax the bowels back Into normal activity, take Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are Just as good for costlve ness as his Anuric Tablets are good for kidney disorders, and that is saying a great deal.
