LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION

The increased use Of whiskey for
lame back rheumatism is causing con-
siderable discussion among the medi-
cal fraternity. 1t is an almost infal-
lible cure when mixed with certain
other ingredients and taken properly.
The following formula is effective:
"To one-half pint of good whiskey add
one ounce of Toris Compound and one
ounce Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before
each meal and before retiring"
Toris compound is product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceu'
tical Co., Chicago, but it as we'll as the
other ingredients can be had from any
good druggist.
