How to Mix It.
A well-known authority on Hheu
niatisiu gives the readers' of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one cau
easily prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce
l .oin pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well iu a bottle.
and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bed tune.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip
tion pharmacy at small cost, and,
being of vegetable extraction, are
harmless to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken
regularly for a few davs, is said to
overcome almost anv case of Rheu
matism. The pain and swelling, if
any, duninisnes with each dose, un
til permanent results are obtained,
and without injuring the stomach.
W hue there are many so-called
Rheumatism remedies, patent medi
clues, etc., some of which do irive re
lief, few really give permanent re-
suits, and tne above will no
doubt be greatly apreeiated by many
sutlerers here at this time.
Inquirv at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the informa
tion that these drugs are harmless
andean be bought separately, or the
