Excellent Advice Which Our Readers

Now is the time to get the rheu-
matte poisons and foul acids from the

authority, who says that Rheumatism
and Kidney trouble are caused by the
blood, which often becomes sour from
excessive acids, and also tells what to
do to make it pure and healthy.
Get from any good prescription phar
macy one-half ounce Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kar
gon, three ounces Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla. Mix by shaking in q

Just try this simple blood cleaner
