Thousands of men and women who

know that it Is one Of the easiest af-
flictions of the human body to con-
quer. Medical science has proven 1t
not distinct disease Ia itself, but
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
however, are Of sponge-like substance,

times, either from overwork, cold or
exposure become clogged, 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 rheu-
matism and backache, 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 Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com

ounces. Mix by shaking we'll In bot
tie and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime, The in-
gradients can be had from any pre-
scription pharmacy, and are absolutely
harmless and safe to use at any time.
