Simple Recipe for Home-Made Rheuma
tism and Kidney Cure.
To relieve the worst forms of
Rheumatism, take a teaspoonful
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 aro easily mixed
by shaking them well in a bottle.
Relief is generally felt from the
tirst few doses.
This prescription forces the
clo'ged up, inactive kidneys to
filter and strain from the blood
tho poisonous waste matter and
uric acid, which causes Rheuma
t'nyn. 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 home, who should at once
prepare the mixture to get this
relief.
It Is said that a person who
would take this prescription re
gularly, a dose or two daily, or
evsn a few times a week, would
never have serious Kidney or
Urinary disorders or Rheuma
turn. , '
Cut this out and preserve it.
Good Rheumatism prescriptions
which retlly relieve are scarce,
indeed, and when you neod it,
you want it badly,

To Meet a Contingency.
Congressman Burke, of Pitts
burg, has ottered a resolution in
the house providing an amend
ment to the constitution to meet
a contingency never heretofore
acted upon, which is the filling of
the presidential chair if the presi
dent elect should die at any time
btbween the date his election and
the day of his inauguration, Un
der the present laws great chaos
would result should a president
elect die beforo March 4. There
is nr law under which the vacan
cy could be tilled. It is held by
some good lawyers that the vice
president elect would not be eligi
ble to the presidency should tho
presidentelect die. before inau
guration. The proposed amend
ment to the constitution provides
that congress should be author
ized to devise a means of tilling
the presidential chair in the
emergency referred to. ?
