Easy to nix This

What will appear very interest
ing to many people here is the ar
ticle taken from New York daily
paper, giving a simple prescription
as formulated by noted authority,
who claims that he has found a
positive remedy to cure almost any
case Of backache or kidney or blad-
der arrangement, in the following
simple prescription. if taken before
the stage of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce: Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. three ounces. Shake well in
a bottle and take in teaspoonful
doses after each meal and agains!at
bedtime.
A well.known druggist here at
home. when asked regarding this
prescription. stated that the ingre-
dents are all harmless, and can be
obtained at small cost from any
good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up il asked
to do so. He further states thai
while the prescription is often pre-
scribed in rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, he could see nc
reason why it would not be a splen'
did remedy for kidney and urinary
troubles and backaehe, as it has 6
peculiar action upon the kidney
structure, cleansing these most I'M
portant organs and helping them
to sift and filter from the bloot
the foul acids and waste matte
which cause sickness and suffering
Those of orr readers who SUITE
can make no mistake in giving 1t
trial.
