HOMEMADE REMEDY
FOR RHEUMATISM

To relieve the worst forms of
Rheumatism, take a teaspoonful
of the following mixture after
each meal and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup
of Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Shake we'll in bottle.
These harmless ingredients
can be obtained from any good
} pharmacy.
This prescription, states a
well-known authority, forces
the clogged-up, inactive kidneys
to filter and strain from the
blood the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid which causes
} Rheumatism. Relief is felt from
the first few doses.
1t is said that person who
} would take this prescription
regularly, a dose or two daily,
or even a few times a week,
; would never have serious Kid
ney or Urinary disorders or
Rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve it.

which really relieve are scarce,
indeed, and when you need it
