Here is a prescription that any
one can mix at home Any good pre-
scription pharmacy can supply the
ingredients named at little cost: be-
ing composed entirely of vegetable
extracts, it is harmless and inexpen-
siye. Best Of all, it does its work vel
relieving even the worst forms OF

backache, kidney complaint, and by
its direct action upon the eliminative
tissue of the kidneys makes these
most vital organs rid the blood and
system of waste matter and uric ac-
i'd. which causes rheumatism.
The prescription is constantly pre-
scribed by the greatest kidney and
