The way to be we'll is to pay attention
to your kidneys.
They are the most important organs
of the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys once every three
minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the
impurities in the blood-that is their
work.
Purifying your blood is not ques-
tion of taking a laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are al
ready in your blood, causing your pres
ent sickness, it leaves there.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your
kidneys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then, no matter
what YOU think the name of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-ROOt you afford
natural help to nature. for Swamp Root
is the most perfect healer and gentle
aid to the kidneys that is known to
medical science

when Kavanagh saw 1t and went in chase
He overlook the runaway at Ashbury
street and after Quieting the animal down
and tightening the check he allowed Mrs
Ellsworth to proceed on her belief that
she could hold the horse. Half block
farther on the second runaway started

the horse he ran up on one of the bor-
ders of the panhandle, fitting the vehicle
dangerously and breaking several spokes
from one of the wheels. Kavanagh

serious accident

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUF OF FIGS. manufactured by the

tive cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
