Asks Us to Print.

To relieve the worst forms of Rheu-
matism, take a teaspoonful of the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, n ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients a be
obtained from your home druggists,
and are easily mixed by shaking them
we'll in a bottle. Relief is generally
felt from the first few doses.
This prescription forces the clogged-
up, inactive kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid, which causes
Rheumatism.
AS rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturous disease, but
dangerous to life, this simple recipe
will no doubt be greatly valued b,
many sufferers here at home, who
should at once prepare the mixture tc
get this relief.
It is said that a person who would
take this prescription regularly, a dose
or two daily, or even a few times
week, would never have serious Kid
ney or Urinary disorders or Rheuma
tism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Coco
Rheumatism prescriptions which real
~ relieve are scarce, indeed, and whel
you need it, you want it badly.
