A well-known authority on Rheu
matism gives the following valuable,
though simple and harmless, prescrip
tion which anyone can easily pre
nam at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well In bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip
tion pharmacy at small cost, and, be
ing a vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for a few days.ls said to over
come almost any case of rheumatism.
Thfi naln and swelling, if any, dimln
ishes with each dose.until permanent
results are obtained, and without In
Juring the stomach. While there are
manv so-called Rheumatism remedies
patent medicines, etc., some of which
do elve relief, few really give perma
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neichborhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the drug
gists here will mix the prescription
for our readers if asked to.
