That the readers Of this paper ap-

faith Is plainly demonstrated by the
fact that one well-known local phar-
macy supplied the ingredients for the
vegetable prescription" many times
within the past two weeks. The an

mixture has certainly accomplished
much in reducing the great many
cases Of kidney complaint and rheu-

cry, especially among the older popu-
lation, who are always suffering more
or less with bladder and urinary trou-
blcs, backache and particularly rheu-
matism.
Another well-known druggist asks
US to continue the announcement OF
the prescription. 1t Is doing so much
real good here. he continues, that 1t
would be q crime not to do so. 1t can
not be repeated too often, and further
states many cases OF remarkable cures
wrought.
