EASY TO MIX THIS.
Simple Recipe for Kidney or Bladder
Trouble or Rheumatism.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from New York daily paper,
giving a sample prescription, which
is said to be a positive remedy for
backache or kidney or bladder de-
rangement, if taken before the stage
of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this pre-
scliption, stated that the ingredients
are all harmless, and can be obtained
cription pharmacy, or the mixture
would be put up if asked to do SO. He
further stated that while this pres
cription is often prescribed in rheu-
matte Affections with splendid re-
suits, he could see no reason why it
would not be splendid remedy for
kidney and urinary troubles and
backache, as it had peculiar action
upon the kidney structure, cleansing
these most important organs and
helping them to sift and filter from
the blood that foul acids and waste
matter which cause sickness and suf-
fering. Those of our readers who suf-
fer can make no mistake in giving it
trial. 90
