MANY PEOPLE

LOCAL DRUGGISTS ARE
KEPT VERY BUSY
No Sufferer of Kidney Trouble or
rheumatism Should Leave 1t Un-
tried-Get the Ingredients from
Any Good Pharmacy and Mix Them
Yourself.

That the readers of this paper ap-
preciate advice when given In good
faith is plainly demonstrated by the
fact that one well-known local phar-
macy supplied the ingredients for the
vegetable prescription" many times
within the past two weeks. The an
nouncement of this simple, harmless
mixture has certainly accomplished
much In reducing the great many
cases of kidney complaint and rheu-
matism here, relieving pain and mis-
cry, especially among the older pop
ulation, who are always suffering
more or less with bladder and urinary
troubles, backache and particularly
rheumatism.

US to continue the announcement OF
the prescription. It is doing 80 much
real good here, he continues, that 1t
would be a crime not to do 30. 1t

Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsarparilla, three ounces. Any first

amount Of each ingredient, and the
dose for adults is one teaspoonful to
be taken after each meal and again
at bedtime. There is enough here to
