A Good Home Remedy for
Rheumatism, Kidney or
Bladder Trouble.
A Valuable Spring Tonic and Blood
Purifier.

The changeable days of spring will be
responsible this year, as they always
haye been, for a great increase of SICK
ness particularly rheumatism, kidney
and bladder troubles. While the wealth
er is to blame. We cannot change the
weather unless we have the time and
money which will allow US to get away
from the cold, damp days of March and
April. Unfortunately most of us are
not so situated, and we have ito make
the best of conditions as they are.
There are two or three valuable rules
easy to follow which if followed, would
prevent thousands of cases of severe
illness every spring and save thousands
of hives.
The first, and one Of the most inn
portant Don't take off that winter I'M
derwear too SOON Nearly all of us do
this. When the first bright April sun
comes out We forget that the next day
is liable to be cold and raw. off comes
the winter clothing-and the next day
a severe cold, touch of rheumatism or
pneumonia. Keep on the winter cloth
ing until we'll into May if you would
avoid spning rheumatism and colds.
Second and most important we adj
wise every reader to Clean House.
Every good housewife knows how nee
essary this is in the spring-and does
it, What we mean is to apply the same
principle to your bodies that every
housewife does to her house. Clean out.
During The long winter, while most OF
us are indoors a great part OF the time,
the system becomes cloaged with lnl-
purities; the bowels become sluggish;
the kidneys inactive. Po1SonS, instead
of being thrown off as they are during
the summer while we are physically
more active. are stored up in the sys-
tenn Principal among these poisons Is
uric acid the cause of rheumatism.
What the system needs at this time
is to be cleaned out, toned up and
strengthened to stand the sudden
changes in temperature, damp weather,
etc. Instead of taking strong laxatlves,
or patent medicines which depend on
alcohol for temporary tonic eifects, we
would recommend simple prescription
which can be filed at any drug store.
1t is as follows: Fluid Extract Cas-
cara Aromatic half ounce: Concentrat-
ed Barkola Compound, one ounce; Fluid
Extract Prickly Ash Bark. half a
drachm: Aromatic Elixir. four ounces.
Mix these ingredients together thor
times a day after meals, and at bed
time. Children, one-quarter to one-half
teaspoonful three times a day after
