Will Undo Much Evil
By Dr. V. M. Pierce
Knowing the vast amount of harm
wrought by diseases of the kidneys, and
having had opportunity to observe the
analyses and the successful methods of
treatment in thousands of cases of kid
ney trouble at the Invalids’ Hotel, I
have recently given to the public the
latest and perhaps most important of
the Dr. Pierce home remedies, “An
j uric" (anti-uric-acid) Tablets, which
1 now recommend to those who suffer
. with kidney backache, irregularity of
■ urination and the pains and disturbances
that come from excess of uric acid in
the blood.
"An-uric” can be had now at all the
drug stores. The mere drinking of a
cup of hot water each morning and a
little "An-uric” before even' meal
should bring remarkably quick improve
ment. Yc a may have ki -’nev trouble
and not know it. The danger signals
to be watched for and quickly heeded
are backache, depression, aches, pains,
heaviness, drowsiness, dizziness, irrita
bility, headaches, chilliness, rheumatic ■
twinges, swollen joints, gout.

ALL WORN OUT
SO WAS MRS. HEGWOOD WHO
TELLS HER EXPERIENCE
Are you tired all the time; worn
out night and day? Does your back
ache as if it would break ? Do you
suffer dizziness, headaches, rheumatic
twinges or distressing urinary disor
ders? You have good cause, then, to
be alarmed about your kidneys. Do as
many of your townfolk recommend.
Use Doan’s Pills—a stimulant diure
tic to the kidneys. This LaFayette
case is convincing:
Mrs. W. F. Hegwood, Daugherty
St., says: “My kidneys were disorder
ed and acted too freely. My back both
ered me a great deal, especially dur
ing the day when I worked hard. The
bearing-down pains ■were very trouble
some. Headaches were also .constant
and were accompanied with. dizzy
spells. I used Doan’s Pills and they
put me in fine shape. I have had no
need of a kidney remedy since Doan’s
cured me.”
Mrs. Hegwood is only one of many
LaFayette People who have grate
fully endorsed Doan’s Pills. If your
back aches—if your kidneys bother
you, don’t simply ask for a kidney
remedy—ask distinctly for Doan’s
Pills the same that Mrs Hegwood had
—the remedy backed by home testir
mony. 60 cents at all dealers—Foster

Feast for Children!
Spread it with Peanut Butter
This is the appetite age—always hungry, because they
are so active and need so much good wholesome food to “play
on and to "grow on." If they arc to grow into healthy ro
bust men and women, do not let them go undernourished
when they are young.
Give them lots of rich weil-baked bread spread with pea
nut butter or jam. If you give them Merita Bread they will
get well-balanced portions of flesh, bone and nerve building
materials. Serve this wonderfully fine flavored bread to
grown-ups, too, for they will enjoy its rich milk-like flavor.
Old people may eat all they want, for only pure vegetable
shortening is used and therefore it is easy to digest. More
than a million people know and appreciate the superiority of
Merita Bread. You must try it. You will enjoy it.
