Dear Mr. Editor I wish to tell you of a recent experience I had when suf- fering from backache, weak back, -rheu- matism, dropsy, and congestion of the kidneys. I tried a new medicine called n Anuric," which has recently been dis. covered by Dr. Pierce, of whose medi. cines and Surgical Institution in Buffalo, N. Y., you have no doubt heard for years. This medicine acted upon me mn a wonderful manner. 1 never have taken any medicine so helpful in such quick time. I do wish anyone in need of such a remedy would give it a trial. (Signed) G. II. HERR. Noxi: Folks in town and adjoining counties are delighted with the results they have obtained by using' ANUPIC," the newest discovery of Dr. Pierce, who is head of the INVA IDs HOTEL and SURGICAL INSTITUTE, in Buffalo, N. Y. Those who started the day with a back- ache, •stiff legs, arms and muscles, and an aching, head ( worn out before the day began because they were in and out of bed half a dozen times at night) are appreciating the perfect rest, comfort and new strength they obtained from Dr. Pierce's Anuric Tablets. To prove that this is a certain uric acid solvent and: conquers' headache, kidney and bladder diseases and rheumatism, if you've never used the 'Anuric," cut this out and send ten cents to Doctor Pierce fora large sample package. This will prove to you;;,that n Anuric"; is thirty - seven times . -mere active than lithia in eliminating urie acid—and the most perfect kidney and ;_ bladder ,cor- rector. If you are a sufferer, go to your best druggist and ask for a ,50-cent,boa of "Anuric." You run no risk for Dr. Pierce's good name stands behind this wonderful new discovery as it has for the past .half century for his 'Golden Medical Discovery" which makes the blood pure, his cFFavorite Prescription" for weak women and"pleasant Pellets" foe liver ills. e kin rhinsoa, S, ,IV1cEachen.
