Homemade Catarrh Cure.

Any one can mix at home the
best remedy of its kind known. The
name Cyclone" is given to the follow
ing prescription, it is supposed, be-
cause of its promptness in driving from
the blood and system every vestige of
catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and
dread disease, no matter where located.
10 prepare the mixture: Get from any
good pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid
Extract Dandelion. one ounce Com
pound Kargon and three ounces Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake well
and use in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime.
This is a harmless. inexpensive mix
ture, which has peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to filter and strain from
the blood and system all catarrhal
poisons, which, If not eradicated, are
absorbed by the mucous membrane.
and an open sore or catarrh is the re-
suit
Prepare some and try 1t, as 1t is the
prescription of an eminent catarrh spe-
eialist of national reputation.
