WAS MIXED OFTEN.
Druggists Hear Much Praise for
Simple Home Made Mixture

Druggists Hear Much Praise for a
Simple Home Made Mixture
Some remarkable stories are being
told about town and among the coun-
try people coming in of this simple
homemade mixture curing Rheuma-
tism and Kidney trouble, Here is the
recipe and directions for taking: Mix
by shaking well in bottle one-half
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Take
as dose one teaspoonful after meals
and at bedtime.
No change need be made in your
usual diet, but drink plenty of good
water.
This mixture has peculiar tonic
effect upon the kidneys; cleansing the
clogged-up pores of the eliminative It's
sues, forcing the kidneys to sift and
strain from the blood the uric acid
and other poisonous waste matter,
overcoming Rheumatism, Bladder and
Urinary troubles in short while.
A druggist here who had had hun
dreds of calls for these ingredients
since the first announcement in the
newspapers last October stated that
the people who once try it "swear by
it" especially those who have Urinary
and Kidney trouble and suffer with
Rheumatism.
All the druggists in this neighbor-
hood say they can supply the ingredi-
ents, which are easily mixed at home.
There is said to be no better blood
cleansing agent or system tonic known,
and certainly none more harmless or
simple to use.

9:45 Address of Welcome, by C. E.
Godfrey, President of the village
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-08-02

of the facts found in all the railway guides, but it seems rather a common place paragraph when you write 1t, and of no especial interest, any more than if I were making a statement about the number of rooms in country inn.
 Your voluble mountain guide who has the name of every peak on his tongues end soon wearies you with his monotonous memory. He begins with Tryon and without stopping to take breath calls out one name after the other expecting you to remember tn em all when perhaps you have stopped to pick wild flowers. "Tryon," he says, land Little Hog Back, Classy, Pinnacle, Ceasar's Head, Hebron, Hog Back, Pisgah Busby Craggy, Black, Hoop CTS, Bear Wallow, Sugar Loaf, Chim- ney Rock, Shaking Bald mountain Mount Mitchell, Old Whitesides. Hawks Bill, Point Toxaway." and looks su perior all the time he is telling you, while you appear interested and ven ture to remark 70 is that so," hich may be interpreted two or three ways. The mountain guide thinks that it means he Is telling you things that you should have known long ago, and be- gins again quite mercilessly.
 But forgetting the facts in railway guides and ignoring your mountain guides there Is still a better way for the summer tourist to enjoy this Land of the Sky. There are many ways. many paths. If you are inclined to- ward luxury there Is a chain of sump tuous otels. Some of them are in tn } heart of the country. White roadways and little bride paths lead to their doors, their gardens are sensuously lovely, their regime savers more of town life than of country.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-08-02
BY ANNIE kENpRIck WALKER.

If you are inclined toward domesticity, there are little lodges fitted up for house. keeping. But if you have come to live out of doors. then camp life alone will satisfy you. And it is this very diversity of life that makes for so much that Is interesting. that indeed prevents satiety. And after observing the different modes of living here in these mountains l have learned that the mountains produce wholly different impressions according to ones method of living And I have learned, too, that one has to come frequently and stay many weeks to ever come to know the changing moods and the ehangeless beauty of this land.
 How unappreciative 1 am as l sit here with an open book beside me, opened at a little description of the Seine, when all about me majestic peaks are bathed in soft purple light,
 T like to look out of my window at the Seine and it's quays on those soft gray mornings which give such infinite tenderness of tint to everything ob- serves this traveller.
