rheumatism Prescription.

Considerable discussion is being
caused among the medical fraternity
by the Increased use Of whiskey for
rheumatism. 1t is an almost infalli-
BILE cure when mixed with certain
other ingredients and taken properly.
The following formula is effective:
ITO one-half pint of good whiskey
add one ounce OF Toris Compound
and one ounce OF Syrup Sarsaparilla
Compound. Take in tablespoonful
doses before each meal and before re-
tiring."
Toris Compound is product OF

as the other ingredients can be had
from any good druggist.
