TOO MUCH KIDNEY
TROUBLE SAYS AUTHORITY
Valuable Prescription Given Which
Any One Can Prepare at Home
Gives the Simple Recipe and Di-
rcctions to Make the mixture Also
How TO Take Ii.

Take care of headache. A great
many cases of kidney complaint are
reported about here; also bladder
trouble and rheumatism.
An authority once stated that pain
in the back, loins or region of the
kidneys is the danger signal nature
hangs out to notify the sufferer that
there is something wrong with the
kidneys, which should receive imme-
diate attention. Only vegetable treat
ment should be administered and alb
solutely no strongly alcoholic medi-
cines, which are harmful to the kid
neys and bladder.
The following prescription, while
simple, harmless and inexpensive, is
known and recognized as a sovereign
remedy for kidney complaint, The
ingredients can be obtained at any
good pharmacy and anyone can mix
them: Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces. Shake we'll in bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime.
This preparation is said to restore
the natural function of the kidneys so
they will sift and strain the poison
Gus waste matter, uric acid, etc, from
the blood. purifying 1t and relieving
rheumatism. Backache will be re-
lieved. the urine will be neutralized
and no longer cause Of irritation
thereby overcoming such symptoms
as weak bladder, painful. frequent
and other urinary difficulties.
This is worth trying and may prove
just what many people here need.
