Directions to Prepare Simple, Yet Re-
markable Home Mixture.
There is so much Rheumatism here in
our neigh borhOOd now that the following
advice by an eminent authority, who
writes for readers of large eastern daily
paper, will be highly appreciated by
those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one-half
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces
of Compound Syrup Sarsaparllla. Shake
these we'll in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime: also drink plenty of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few victims
of this dread and torturous disease who
fail to find ready relief in this simple
home made mixture, and in most cases a
permanent cure is the result.
This simple remedy is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues of
the Kidneys, so that they can filter and
strain from the blood and system the
poisons, acids and waste matter, which
cause not only rheumatism, but numer-
Gus other diseases. Every man or woman
here who feels that their kidneys are not
healthy and active, or who suffer from
any urinary trouble whatever, should
not hesitate to make up this mixture, as
it is certain to do much good, and may
save you from much misery and suffer
ing after while.
Our home druggists say they vii
either supply the ingredients or mix the
prescription ready to take if our readers
ask them.

ON THE FLATS
Poor Season 1t Will Be If
First Day Is a
Criterion

HAvRE DE GRACE, Nd. Nov. s-The
cunning season on the Susquehanna flats
opened yesterday. one ST the poorest first
days for the sport in a number of years.
few ducks were bagged early by
those who were fortunate enough to get
good berths on the fats-and good bcrtls
we're few.
Hundreds of acres OF the best cunning
grounds are high and dry and have been
for the last three days. owing to the
heavy north wind. which continuing up
TO Sunday night blew the water down the
bay. The wind was not blowing so
hard I'm yesterdays shooting hours, but
II was strong enough TO keep the tide
low. and the gunners were huddled so
close together that none were able TO
bag many ducks. The ducks could easily
take refuge on the bare fats far out Of
reach OF the gunner.
Many Of tho sportmen returned from
the flats long before the day was over.
and they all report poor luck, yet they
seem satisfied with the days sport as
the great majority of them shot at any
thing in sight whether there was any
chance Of bagging a duck or not.
