A Simple Mixture and
Directions For Taking

matism Quickly.
Get the ingredients From the Drug
Store and Mix Them Yourself.

by clogged up pores of the eliminative
tissues in the kidneys which fail to
filter the poisonous waste matter and
uric acid from the blood, permitting
these substances to remain in the veins
and decompOse. usually settling about
the joints and muscles, causing the in
tense pain, swelling and stiffness of
rheumatism.

probably treated more cases of rheu-
matism than anyone else, and who is
also the most successful, gives the fol-
lowing simple treatment. which is
harmless and inexpensive. and SO SIM

The ingredients are: Fluid Extract
Dandelion. one-half ounce; Compound
