FIRST SIGNS
ARE In BACK
Too Much Kidney and Blad-
der Trouble
TELLS OF SIMPLE RECIPE
Prescription Given Which Anyone Can
Prepare at Small cost--Relieves
Rheumatism and Backache
and Prevents Trouble.
TELLS OF SIMPLE RECIPE

Take care of hackache. A great many
cases of kidney complaint are reported
about heres also bladder trouble and
rheumatism.
An authority once stated that pain
in the back, loins or region of the kid
neys is the danger signal nature hangs
cut TO notify the sufferer that there is
something wrong with the kidneys,
which should receive immediate atten-
ton. Only vegetable treatment should
be administered and absolutely no
strongly alcoholic medicines, which are
harmful to the kidneys and bladder
The following prescription, while
simple, harmless and inexpensive, is
known and recognized as sovereign
remedy for kidney complaint. The in
gradients can be obtained at any good
prescription pharmacy and anyone can
mix them: Compound Kargon, ono
ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion, one.
half ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla, three ounces. Shake well in
bottle and take in teaspoonful doses af.
ter each meal and at bedtime.
This preparation is said to restore
the natural function OF the kidneys, so
they will sift and strain the poisonous
waste matter, uric acid, ETC., from tho
blood, purifying it and relieving rheu-
matism. Backache will be relieved,
the urine will be neutralized and cleared
and no longer cause of irritation,
thereby overcoming such symptoms as
weak bladder, painful, frequent and
other urinary difficulties.
This is worth trying and may prove
just what many people here need.

For feeling we have a variety Of
