MIX THIS FOR RHEUMATISM
Easily Prepared and inexpensive and
Really Does the Work, Says
Noted Authority.

Thousands of men and women who
have felt the sting and torture OF that
dread disease, Rheumatism, which is
no respecter of age, persons, sex,
color or rank, will be interested to
know that it is one Of the easiest af-
fictions of the human body to con-
Quer. Medical science has proven IT
not a distinct disease in itself, but a
symptom caused by inactive kidneys.
Rheumatism is uric acid in the blood
and other waste products OF the sys-
tenn which should be filtered and
strained out in the form Of urine. The
function Of the kidneys is to sift these
poisons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure. The kidneys
I however, are of ,sponge-like substance,
the holes or pores of which will some
times, either from overwork, cold or
exposure become cIogged. and failing
in their function of eliminating these
poisons from the blood, they remain
in the veins, decompose and settling
about the joints and muscles, cause
the untold suffering and pain of Theu-
matism and baekache often producing
complications Of bladder and urinary
disease, and general weakness.
The following simple prescription is
said to relieve the worst cases OF
rheumatism because of its direct ac-
tion upon the blood and kidneys, re-
lieving, too, the most severe forms of
bladder and urinary troubles: Fluid
Extract Dande1ion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon. one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in bot
tie and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime. The In
gradients can be had from any pre-
scripticn pharmacy, and are absolutely
harmless and safe to use at any time.
