MIX THIS AT HOME.

The following simple homemade mix
ture is said to readily relieve and over
come any form of rheumatism by forcing
the Kidneys to filter from the blood and
system all the uric acid and poisonous
waste matter, relieving at once such
symptoms as backachc, weak kidneys
and bladder and blood diseases
Try it, As il doesn't cost much TO make
and il is said to be absolutely harmless
to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredients
from any good pharmacy: Fluid Tx.
tract Dandclion, onc-half ounce; Com
pound Kargon. one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparrilla, three ounces. Mix
by shaking well in a bottle, and take a
teaspooniul after each meal and again
at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said TO give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases of rheumatism and kidney trouble
it will fail to cure permanently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department; If
not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rather
than fail to use this, II you are afflicted.
