ASKS US TO PRIN1IT.
Well Known Authority Tells How TO
Prepare a Simple Mixture To
Overcome Dread Disease.

To relieve the worst forms OF Rheu-
matism. take teaspoonful of the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists, and
are easily mixed by shaking them we'll
in a bottle. Relief is generally felt
from the first few doses.
This prescription, states we'll
known authority in Cleveland morn
ing paper, forces the clogged-np, in
active kidneys to filter and strain from
the poisonous waste matter and uric
acid, which causes Rheumatism.
AS Rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturons disease, but dan
gerous to life, this simple recipe will NO
doubt be greatly valued by many suffer-
ers here at home, who should at once
prepare the mixture to get this relief.
1t is said that person who woultl
take this prescription regularly dose
or two daily, or even few times a
week, would never have serious Kid
ney or Urinary disorders or Rbeuma-
tism.
Cat this out and preserve it. Good
Rheamatism prescriptions which veal
ly relieve are scarce, indeed and when
you need it, you want it badly. Our
druggists here say they will either
supply these ingredients or make the
mixture ready to take if any of ou1
readers so prefer.
