There is so much Rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the fol-
lowing advice by an eminent authori
ty, who writes for readers Of a large
Eastern daily paper, will be highly
appreciated by those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsaparil-
Ia Shake these well in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime: also drink plen-
ty of good water.
If is claimed that there are few vic
tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to tind ready relief
in this simple home made mixture and
in most cases permanent cure is the
result.
This simple recipe is said to streng-
then and cleanse the eliminative tis-
sues of the Kidneys so that they can
filter and strain from the blood and
system the poisons, acids and waste
matter, which cause not only Rheuma-
tism, but numerous other diseases. Ev-
cry man or woman here who feels that
their kidneys are not healthy and ac-
tive Or who suffers from any urinary
trouble whatever, should not hesitate
to make up this mixture, as it is GER
tain to do much good, and may save
you from much misery and suffering
after a while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix

readers ask them
