thousands Indians and Chinese were

what they consider a degrading sys-

The reports of further racial rioting

=. Clear the Skin. ~

A leading health journal, in answ.
ering the question, What is the
best prescription to clean and pur.

issue the following: Fluid Extract
of Dandelion one half ounce, Com.
pound Kargon one ounce. Com.
pound Syrup Sarsapariila three
ounces. Shake we'll and use in
teaspoonful doses after each meal
and at bedtime.
1t cleans the blood of all impur.
tiles and nourishes the blood. In
just a few days the skin begins to
clear of sores, boils and pimples.
Tt puts energy and vigor into
rundown, debilitated men and
women. For many years Sarsapar.
lila alone has been considered a
good medicine. But while it built
up and made new blood, the i'm.
purities remained within and the
good accomplished was only tenn.

used in combination with Com.

lion works wonders. This combi.
nation puts the kidneys to work tc
filter and sift out the waste matter,
uric acid and other impurities that
cause disease. It makes new blood
and relieves rheumatism and lame
back and bladder troubles.
This prescription is better than
the usual patent medicines, which
are in the most part alcoholic con.
coctions. The ingredients cost but
little and are easily mixed al
home. Every man and woman
here should make up some and try
tiff they feel their system requires
a good blood medicine and
