asked regarding this prescription, stated that
the ingredients are all harmless, and can be OBJ
tanned at small cost from any good prescrlp-

this prescription is often prescribed in rheu-
matte Affections with splendid results he could
see no reas on why it would not be splendid
remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and
backa che as it has peculiar action upon the

giving it trial. Al
