matism. take teasPoonful OF the
following mixture after each meal and
at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon. one ounce;
Compound Syrup sarsaparilla. three
ounces
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists. an
are easily mixed by shaking them vel
In bottle. Relief is generally felt
from the first few doses.
This prescription. states a we'll
known authority in Cleveland morn
ing paper. forces the ologged-up. in
active kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid. which causes
rheumatism.
As Rheumatism is not only the mos
painful and torturous disease, but dan
gcrous to life. this simple recipe will
no doubt be greatly valued by many
sufferers here at home. who should at
once prepare the mixture to get this
relief.
Il is said that a person who would
take this prescription regularly. dos
or two daily. or even few times a
week. would never have serious Kid
ney or Urinary disorders or Rheuma-
tism.
Cut this out and preserve n Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which real
ly relieve are scarce. indeed. and whe
you need It. you want 1t badly, Our
druggists here say they will either
supply these ingredients or make the
mixture ready to take. II any of our
readers so prefer.

Vanderbilt, Gould, Prick and "The

an intimate exposition of the intimate
threads of international diplomacy;
"a Theological Thunderstorm in Eng

whose recent utterances have set a
thousand ministers to preaching ser
mons, are discussed clearly and with
out bias; immortality of Present-Day
