MANY HERE ARE
NOW RELIEVED
Tremendous Popularity Of Home Pre-
scrlption, Says Local Drug
sst, is More Than
Surprising.
HUNDREDS ARE WELL
There is Not One Sufferer of Kidney
or Bladder Trouble or Rheuma-
tism Who Should Leave
it Untried.

That the readers of this paper APP
preciate advice when given in good
faith is plainly demonstrated by the
fact that one wellkrown local phar-
macy supplied the ingredients for the
vegetable prescription many times
within the past two weeks. The an
nouncement of this simple, harmless
mixture has certainly accomplished
much reducing the great many
cases of kidney complaint and rheu-
matism here, relieving pain and mis-
cry, especially among the older popu-
lation. who are always suffering more
or less with bladder and urinary trou-
BILE. backache and particularly rheu-
1latisnl.
| Another well-known druggists asks
us to continue the announcement of
the prescription. 1t is doing so much
real good here. he continues, that it
would be crime not to do so. It
cannot be repeated too often, and
further states many cases of remark
able cures wrought.
The following is the prescription,
of simple ingredients. making harm
less, inexpensive compound, which
any person can prepare by shaking
well in bottle: Fluid EXtrac Dan
delion, one-haIf ounce; Compound
kargon. one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla. three ounces. Any first
class drug store will sell this small
amount of each ingredient, and the
dose for adults is one teaspoonful
to be taken after each meal and again
at bedtime. There is enough here
to last for one week, if taken ac-
cording to directions. Good results
will be apparent from the .irst few
doses.
