SIMPLE HOME RECIPE
Prepare This Simple Mixture at
Home By Shaking Ingredients
Well in a Bottle
What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from a New York daily paper giving a
simple prescription as formulated bj a
noted authority who claims that he has
found a positive remedy to cure almost
any case of backache or kidney or blad
der derangement in the following sim
ple prescription if taken before the
stage of Brights disease
Fluid Extract Dandelion onehalf
ounce Compound Kaigon one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla3 ounces
Sbake well in a bottle > a and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
again at bedtime
A wellknown druggist here at home
when asked regarding this prescription
Btated that the ingredients are all harm-
less and can be obtained at a small
cost from any good prescription phar-
macy or the mixture would be put up
if asked to do so He further stated
that while this prescription is often
prescribed in rheumatic afflictions with
splendid results he could see no reason
why it would not be a splendid remedy
for kidney and urinary troubles and
backache as it has a peculiar action
upon the kidney structure cleansing
these most important organs and help-
ing them to Bift and filter from the
blood the foul acids and waste matter
which cause sickness and suffering
Those of our readers who suffer can
make no mistake in giving it a trial
