Valuable Prescription Which

Try This at Home for Kidney and Blad-

the Ingredients from any
Druggist and Mix Them.

@The people here do not drink enough
water to keep healthy" exclaimed a
well known authority. "The numerous
cases of stomach trouble, kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism are
mainly due to the fact that the drinking
of water, natures greatest medicine, has
been neglected.
Stop loading your system with pat
emit medicines and cure-alls; but get on
the water wagon. ii you are really
sick, WHY, OF course, take the proper
medicines plain common vegetable
treatment, which win not shatter the
nerves or ruin the stomach
When requested for such prescrip-
tion for the cure Of rheumatism and
kidney trouble the answer was: You
must make the kidneys do their work;
they are the filters OF the blood They
must be made to strain out Of the
blood the waste matter and acids that
cause rheumatism; the urine must be
neutralized SO II will no longer De a
source of irritation to the bladder, and,
most Of all, YOU must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This is
the cause of stomach trouble and poor
digestion. For these conditions | would
suggest the following prescription, Fluid
Extract Dandeiion. one-half ounce; Com
