Tells How To Mix This.
SHAKE THE INGREDIENTS WELL
 IN THE BOTTLE.
Take a Dose After Meals.

When an eminent authority an- nounced in the Scranton (Pa.) Times that he had found a new way to treat that dread American disease, Rheuma- tism. with just common, everyday drugs found in the drug store, the physicians were slow indeed to attach much importance to his claims. This was only few months ago. To-day nearly every newspaper in the country, even the metropolitan dailies, IS announcing it and the splendid results achieved. It is so simple that any one can prepare it at home at small cost. It is made up as followss Get from any good prescription pharmacy Fluid Ex- tract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Com pound Kargop, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix, by shaking in a bottle and take in tea spoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. These are all simple ingre- dients, making an absolutely harmless remedy at little cost.
 Rheumatism, as every one knows, is a symptom of deranged kidneys. It is a condition produced by the failure of the kidneys to properly filter or strain from the blood the uric acid and other matter which, if not eradicated,- ,-either in the urine O" through the skin pores, remains in the blood, decomposes, and forms about the joints and muscles, causing the untold suffering and de- formity of rheumatism.
 This prescription is said to be a splendid healing, cleansing and inylgor- ating tonic to the kidneys and gives al. most immediate relief in all forms of bladder and urinary troubles and back ache. He also warns people in lead ing New York paper against the dis criminate use of many patent med icines.
