RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YouRsELF.
5uy the ingredients from Any Drug.
oist In Your Town and Shake
Them In a Bottle to
Mix This.

A well.known authority on Rheu-
matlsm 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 Dandelion, one.half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparllla, 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, IL taken reg
ularly for a few days, is said to over.
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, II 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 elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
will mix the prescription II asked to.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.

Cured by cuticura.

"My little son, when about a year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
of his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the

hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing

months the sores were all well. He

again without cutting him free with
a jackknife. A farmer with a

that wit Is a perception Of esem-

Pikeville, Ky.-The body of Gen.
eral Webb Syck, a civil war vet

young wife, a bride of two weeks, in

Mrs. Syck was the generals third
