RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the ingredients from Any Drug
gist in Your Town and Shake
Them in a Bottle to
Mix This.

A well-known authority on Rheu.
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription. which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelicn, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing a vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, If taken reg
ularly for a few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, il any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc, some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of even
the small towns ELECTS the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
will mix the prescription~if asked to.
