THIS IS SAID
TO HELP MANY

macist the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one
half ounce. Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Shake we'll in a bottle and take
a teaspoonful dose after each meal
and at bedtime.
The above is considered as the
most certain prescription ever
written to relieve backache, Kidney
Trouble, Weak Bladder and all
forms of Urinary difficulties
This mixture acts promptly on the
Eeliminative tissues Of the Kidneys,
enabling them to filter and strain
the uric. acid and other waste
matter from the blood which caus-
es Rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer wiz
the Affections may not feel inclined
to place much confidence in this
simple mixture, yet those who
have tried it. say the results are
simply surprising, the relief being
effected without the slightest ir-
jury to the stomach or other or

Mix some and give it a trial.
1t certainly comes highly reco-

ion Of an eminent authority, whose

A druggist here at home, when

prescription for our readers, also
recommends it as harmless.
