To relieve the worst forms of
rheumatism, take teaspoonful
of the following mixture after
each meal and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandellon, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparllla, three ounces.
These harmless ingredients
can be obtained from our home

by shaking them we'll in 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

AS rheumatism is not only the
most painful and torturous DIS

greatly valued by many sufferers
here at home, who should at once
prepare the mixture to get this
relief.
1t is said that a person who

Cut this out and preserve 1t.
