SIMPLE
HOME
REMEDY
Makes the Kidneys Filter Out
the POiSonS

A leading journal in answering
the question, what is the best pre-
seription to clean and purify the
blood" prints in recent issue the
following: Fluid Extract of Dande-
lion one-half ounce, Compound Kar-
gon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla three ounces. Shake well
aud use in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime.
A well known druggist who is fa-
miliar with this prescription states
that 1t is harmless, being composed
of vegetable ingredients which can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy.
1t cleans the blood of all impuri-
ties and nourishes the blood. In just
few days the skin begins to clear
of sores, boils and pimples. 1t puts
vigor and energy into rundown, de-
biliated men and women. For many
years Sarsaparilla alone has been
considered a good blood medicine.
But while 1t built up and made new
blood, the impuities remained within
and the good accomplished was only
temporary. Sarsaparilla, however,
when used in combination with Com
pound Kargon and Extract Dande-
lion works wonders. This combina-
tion put the kidneys to work TO filter
and sift out the waste matter, uric
acid and other impurities that cause
disease. IL makes new blood and re-
lieves rheumatism and lame back and
bladder troubles.
This prescription is better than the
usual patent medicines, which are in
the most part alcoholic concoctions.
Tn ingredients cost but little. They
may be procured from any good phar-
macist and mixed at home. Every
man and woman here should make
some up and try IL II they feel their
system requires a good blood medi-
cine and tonic
The Kargon to clean the kidneys
and vitalize them so they can clean
the blood, Sarsaparilla TO make new
rich blood and Dandelion TO tone the
stomach, clean the liver and make
It active and relieve constipation is
the way the prescription acts and so
mildly and gently that one does not
consider they are taking n medicine.

Deaf Mute Poisoned.

silverton, Or, March 11.--Mrs,
Smith, a deaf mute. living northeast
of this city, and her son, Charles b.
Smith. were poisoned last Saturday
by eating bread supposed to have
arsenic in IL. Mrs. Smith is said to
be in a critical condition, but the boy
will speedily recover.
The only way they can account
for the poison being In the bread is
due to the fact that arsenic was pur-
chased at the drug store a few days
previous and put out for rats. II is
presumed that the pests carried the
poison acid into the -four with, per-
haps, fatal results.
Mrs. Smith is comparatively a
stranger In silverton, having lived
but a short time upon farm owned
by Burch. Hubbs & Co., of this city,
but there seems TO be no doubt, after
a careful investigation, about the
poisoning having been accidental.
