esting to many people here is the
article taken from a New York
daily paper, giving a simple pres-
cription, which is said to be a
positive remedy for backache
or kidney or bladder derange -
ment, if taken before the stage f
Bright’s disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-
half ounce;. Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake
well in a bottle and take in tea-
spoonful doses after eaeh meal
and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this
prescription, stated that the ing-
redients are all harmless. and
can be obtmed at a small cost
from any good prescription phar-
macy, or the mixture would be
put up if asked to do so. He fur-
ther stated that while this pres
cription is often prescribed in
rheumatic afflictions with splen-
did results, he could see no rea-
son why it would not be a splen-
did remedy for kidney and urina-
ry troubles and backache as it
has a peculiar action upon the
