GOOD PRESCRIPTION
Tells Of a Home Mixture to Relieve
All catarrh Sufferers Here.

Here is prescription which should
be valued by all who are subject to
rheumatism, kidney and bladder trou-
bles and especially catarrh. While
the latter is considered by most suf-
ierers an mcurable disease, there are
few men OF women who viii fail to
experience great relief from the fol
lowing simple home prescription. and
If taken in time il should prevent an
attack of catarrh during the entire
season.
ANY one can mix the following: Flu.
i'd Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce,
Compound Kargon, one ounce, Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla three oun-
ces. Shake well in a bottle and use
in teaspoonful doses after each meal
and again at bedtime. Get these in
gradients from any pharmacist whom
you know handles only pure drugs
This prescription acts directly up
on the eliminative tissues of the kid
ueys to make them filter and strain
from the blood, the poisons that pro-
duce all forms of catarrhal affections.
Relief is often felt even after the first
few doses and it is seldom that the
sufferer ever experiences a return at
tack within the year.
This prescription makes a splendid
remedy for all forms of blood disor-
ders and such symptoms as lame
back bladder weaknesses and rheu-
matism pains are entirely dispelled.
AS this valuable, though simple, re-
cipe comes from a thoroughly reliable
source, it should be needed by every
reader who suffers from catarrh
