and Kidney Trouble
GIVES RELIEF PROMPTLY
Get These Harmless Ingredients From
the Drug Store and MIX Them at
Home. Relieves Nearly Every
Person Who Tries 1t in Time

The following prescription for the
cure OF rheumatism and kidney and
bladder troubles has no doubt been
filled millions Of times, viz; Fluid
Extract Dandelon, one.half ounce;
Compound kargon, one ounce; COM
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. These simple, harmless in
gradients can be obtained at any good
prescription pharmacy at little cost
and are mixed by shaking well in

The dose for adults is teaspoon
iul after each meal and at bedtime,
drinking full tumblerful Of water
after each dose. II is stated that this
prescription is a positive remedy for
kidney trouble and lame back, weak
bladder and urinary difficulties, espe-
cially Of the elderly people, and one
OF the best things TO be used in rheu-
matte Affections, relieving the aches
and pains and reducing swellings.
A well-known authority states that
this mixture acts directly upon the
eliminative tissues of the kidneys;
ceanses these spongelike organs and
gives them power to sift and strain the
poisonous waste matter and uric acid
from the blood which is the cause of
rheumatism.
If your back or sides ache and you
suspect kidney trouble il would be
wise to try this for few days.
