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 a ques-
ton 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 boweI-cleaners fail to dc
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
DIR. Kilmers 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.

The London Field tells this storyi A
rat was caught alive on board British
naval vessel in a trap, and the beast was
thrown from the trap into the water
without being killed. \ large gull that
was following in the wake of the ship
to pick up scraps OF food thrown over
board by the steward swooped down
several times, endeayoring TO pick the
rat up. Once the bird got too close TO
the rats jaws, and the beast grabbed 1t
by the neck, After short fight the rat
succeeded In killing the bird. When the
gull was dead the rat scrambled upon
the birds body. and, hcisting one wing
as sail and using the other as a rudder.
succeeded In steering for the shore.
Whether the rat reached shore or not is
the question. since the ship soon got out
of sight Of the skipper and its craft.
