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 Boos, cor.

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. Contributions may be sent to W. 3. Gage, Chairman, 84 Spadina Avenue, Toronto, or. Geo. A. Reid, Secretary- Treasurer, 223 'College St., Toronto.
