WHY SUFFER WITH BACKACHE,
KIDNEYS OR RHEUMATISM NOW
Letter Teale of Long -looked -for Preaerip0 0m
Deatr Readers—If I can do any good in
the world for others, I wish to do it, and
I feel that it is my duty to write -about
the wonderful results I received from the
use of "Anuric." I was suffering from
kidney and bladder troubles, scalding
urine, backache and rheumatism, and feet
and ankles swelled so that at times I
could not walk without assistance. -
Rad taken several different kinds of.
kidney remedies but all failed. I. sent
for a box of Dr. Pierce's newest dis-
covery, "Anuric," which 1 received by
mail in tablet form. I soon got better
and am convinced that this popular
new medicine is good. I wish to rec-
ommend it to my neighbors and every-
body suffering from such troubles.
MRS. M, J. SARGENT.
Nora: You've all undoubtedly heard
of the famous Dr. Pierce and his well-
known medicines. Well, this prescrip-
tion is one that has been successfully
used for many years by the physicians
and specialists at Dr. Pierce's Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo,
N. Y., for kidney complaints, and dis-
eases arising from disorders of the kid-
neys and bladder, such as backache,
weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, conges-
tion of the kidneys, inflammation of the
bladder, scalding urine, and urinary
troubles.
Up to this time, "Anuric" has not
been on sale to the public, but by the
ppersuasion of many patients and the
increased demand for this wonderful
healing Tablet, Doctor Pierce has finally
decided to put it into the stores, or send
10 cents, for large trial package or 50
cents for full treatment.
Simply ask for Doctor Pierce's. Anurie
Tablets. There can be no imitation.
Every package of "Anuric" is sure to be
Dr. Pierce's. , You will find the signature
on the package just as you do on Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the ever -
famous friend to ailing -women, and
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical- Discovery,
proven by years tobe the greatest gen-
eral .tonic and reconstructor for any
one, besides being the best blood -maker
known.
