A VALUABLE PREsc RIPTIoN
Try This ut Home for Kidney and BIad-
der Trouble and rheumatism,
and You VIII he
Helped.

''The people here do not drink
enough water to keep healthy" ex-
claimed a we'll known authority. "The
numerous cases of kidney and bladder
diseases and rheumatism are mainly
due to the fact that the drinking of
water. natures greatest medicine. has
been neglected.
stop loading your system with med
icines and cure-alls; but get on the
water wagon If you are really sick
why. of course, take the proper medi
Cines-platn common vegetable treat
nent, which will not shatter the
nerves Or ruin the stomach
To cure rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu
tralized so il will no longer be a
source of irritation to the bladder, and
most of all you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This
is the cause of stomach trouble and
poor digestion. For these conditions
you can do no better than take the
following prescription: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla three ounces. Mix by
shaking well in bottle and take in
teaspoonfui doses after each meal and
at bedtime, but DON'T forget the wa
ter Drink plenty and often.
This valuable information and sim
pie prescription should be posted up in
each household and used at the frs,
sign of an attack of rheumatism, back
ache or urinary trouble, no matter how
slight.
