Tells How to Mix 1t.

A well-known authority on
Rheumatism gives the readers Of
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 Syrur
Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bot
tie, and take a teaspoonful after
each meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients
can be obtained from any good
prescription pharmacy at sinai!
cost, and, being of vegetable ex
traction, are harmless to take.
This pleasant mixture, if take.
regularly for few days, is sale
to overcome almost any case OF
Rheumatism. The pain and swell
ing, if any, diminishes with eac;
dose, until permanent results are
obtained, and without injuring
the stomach. While there arr
many so-called Rheumatism
remedies, patent medicines, etc,
some of which do give relief, few
really give permanent results,
and the above will, no doubt, be
greatly appreciated by many suf-
.erers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of
his neighborhood elicits the in
ormation that these drugs are

as nearly empty as any human being
could have a page of self-confessed short

be kept almost blank, for it is the
