Druggists Hear Much Praise for
Simole Home-Made Mixture.
Some remarkable stories are being
told about town and among the coun
try people coming in of this simple
home-made mixture curing rheuma
tism and kidney trouble. Here is
the recipe and directions for taking:
Mix by shaking well in a bottle one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla.
Take as a dose one teaspoom'ul af
ter meals and at bedtime.
No change need be made in your
usual diet, but drink plenty of good
water.
This mixture has a peculiar tonic
effect upon the kidneys; cleansing
the clogged-up pores of the elimina-
tive tissues forcing the kidneys to
sift and strain from the blood the
uric acid and other poisonous waste
matter, overcoming rheumatism, blad
der and urinary troubles in a short
while.
A druggist here who has had huu
dreds of calls for these ingredients
since the first announcement in the
newspapers last October stated that
the people who once try it. "swear
by it," especially those who have uri
nary and kidne" trouble and suffer
with rheumatism.
All the druggists in this neighbor
hood say they can supply the ingre
dients, which are easily mixed at
home. There Is said to be no better
blood cleansing agent or system tonic
known, . and certainly none more
harmless or simple to use.
