Simple Recipe for Home-Made Rheuma tism and Kidney Cure. To relieve the worst forms of Rheumatism, take a teaspoon ful of the followiug mixture after each meal and at bedtime: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. These harmless ingredients can be obtained from our home druggists,' and are easily mixed by shaking them well in a bottle. Relief is generally felt from the first few doses. This proscription forces the clogged ud, inactive kidneys to filter and strain from the blood the poisonous waste matter and uric acid, which causes Rheuma tism. , As Rheumatism is not only the most painful and torturous dis ease, but dangerous to life, this simple recipe will no doubt be greatly valued by many sufferers here at homo, who should at onco prepare the mixture to get this relief. It is said tint a person who would take this prescription re gularly, a dose or two daily, or evjn a few times a week, would never have . serious Kidney or Urinary disorders or Rheuma tisra. Cut this out and preserve it Good Rheumatism prescriptions which re illy relieve are scarce, indeed, and. whoa you need it, yon want it badly. - ' " " George W.
