MIX THIS AT HOME.
Valuable Prescription Which Anyone
Can Easily Prepare.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of Rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache,
weak kidneys and bladder and blood
diseases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce;s Com
pound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in a bot.
tie, and take teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases of Rheumatism and Kidney
troubles it will fail to cure perma
nently
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keeI
them in the prescription department;
if not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rather
than fail to use this, it you are af
ficted.

While it is we'll to heed every

made continuous by judicious pol

with every new expenditure on rail
way construction. We are not in
the flush of railway mania that

for the murder of William F. By
water, their brother -in-iaw on the
night of Dec. 18th last, can clearly

waters, ,he bride Of an hour, in the
protection of whose honor the two
brothers declare they killed Bywa-
ters, would be their opening witness.
Aside from the Strother brothers,
the interest in The trial has centered
largely in Mrs. Bywaters' presence
on the witness stand Her continued
illness has accentuated this interest
to such an extent that Judge Harri-
son was compelled to enforce the ar
bitrary rule of denying admission to

Instead of the limited space of the
court room being occupied by friends
OF the Strother and Bywaters' fami-

Wednesday, when Judge Harrison an
nounced the court in session, only the

on their ability to shatter the justi-

her story told to the jury.
