Save This ANYWAY.

Here is a simple home made mixture
as was given by an eminent authority
on Kidney diseases, who makes the
statement in New York daily news
paper, that it will relieve almost any
case of Kidney trouble if taken before
the stage of Brights disease. He
states that such symptoms as lame
back, pain in the side, frequent desire
to urinate, especially at night; pain
full and discolored urination, are read
lily overcome. Here is the recipe; try
it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
A well known druggist here in town
is authority that these ingredients are
all harmless and easily mixed at home
by shaking well in a bottle. This mix
ture has a peculiar healing and sooth
ing effect upon the entire Kidney and
Urinary structure, and often overcomes
the worst forms of Rheumatism in Just
a little while. This mixture is said to
remove all blood disorders and cure the
Rheumatism by forcing the Kidneys
to filter and strain from the blood and
system all uric acid and foul, decom-
posed waste matter, which cause these
Affections. Try it if you aren't well.
Save the prescription.
