OUR BOYS IN EUROPE
AND HOME PROTECTION
The men on the firing line represent
the pick of our country's youth. Many
were rejected because of physical de-
ficiency. Many times the kidneys were
to Blame.
If eve wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or _if wo want toincrease
our chances for a long life, Dr. Pierce
of the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.,
says that you should drink plenty of
water daily between meals. Then pro
cure at a drug store, Anuric (double
strength). This ‘‘An•u-rie'' drives the
uric acid out and cures backache and
rheumatism.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition a dietof milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once a day,
is the most suitable. Drink plenty of
pure water, take, Anuric three times a
day for a month.
Send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial pkg. An-
uric—many times more potent than Lithia,
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial will convince you.
Preston, Ont.—"I am pleased to ex-
press my experience with Anuric. I° have
been troubled with rheumatism in right
limb and hand for several years, and
lately in left shoulder. The only way
I could lie was on my back. I
had great difficulty to sit clown
and more to get up. Lately I had
a very severe pain in my back. I have
taken Dr. Pierce's Golden Medica'! 'Dis-
covery several times with the most satis-
factory results, so I concluded to give his
Anuric Tablets a trial. The pain in limb
and shoulder has stopped entirely and in
right hand it is very slight and getting
less all they time. I can now sit or lie
in, any position I wish without discom-
fort or pain: I recommended the Anuric
Tablets to two parties and they both
claim decided improvement. I certainly
will recommend them -to any one troubled
with the kidneys; there is nothings nearly
so good; I tried' them all. "—GEoaez

THESAD STORY
OF THE STRUGGLE
FOR LIFE
is frequently revealed in these war
times even in this well-to-do Province.
Bard enough to be poor—still worse
to be sick and poor.
The lot of the consumptive is a spe-
cially trying one. Only recently a
family was discovered living isi .two
s.maIl rooms over a store. At one time
they had occupied a comfortable home
but the father took sick and had to
give up work. With the savings all
gone, they were forced to sell the fur-
niture to buy food. When the span
was found to be a consumptive, this
was the opportunity of the Muskoka
Free Hospital to bring relief so that
not only would the stricken husband
have a winning chance for life, but
more desirable still, the wife and chil-
dren
hipdren should be removed from danger
of contraeting the disease. Under skil-
ful guidance the home was cleaned up
and the family temporarily provided
for. It is now reported that the patient
IS `doing well, with every chance of
recovery.
This is the great work carried on by
the Muskoka Free Hospital which is
now -appealing. for help.
