FREE TO MILLIONS
OF
The New Cure For Kidney,
Bladder and Uric Acid
Troubles.

Almost everybody who reads the
newspapers is eure to know of swamp
Root.
It is the great medical triumph or
the nineteenth century; discovered
after years of untlring scientific re
search by the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, DR.. Kilmer, and has
truly wonderful powers in curing kid
ney, liver, bladder AMI uric acid dis
eases.
Kidney trouble is responsible for
more sickness and sudden deaths than
any other disease, and is 80 deceptive
that thousands have it without know
ing it.
Your kidnens filter your blood and
keep it pure, that's what they are there
for. You are we'll when your kidneys
are we'll.
Thousands owe their health and even
life to SWamp-Roo Dot and thousands
more can be made well who to-day
think themselves beyond help if they
will take DR.. KIlmer's Swamp Root.
By special arrangement with The
Progressive Farmer and to prove for
yourself the wonderful and prompt
curative powers of this great diseov-
cry every reader will be sent by mail,
prepaid, a free sample bottle and with
it a book telling more about Swamp
Root and containing some of the thou
sands upon thousands of testimonial
letters received from sufferers cured.
Please mention that you read this
generous offer in the Raleigh Progress
sive Farmer and send your address to
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y
II you are already convinced that
Swamp Root is what you need, you
can get the regular itty.cent and one
dollar sizes at the drug stores or medi
cine dealers. Make q note of the name,

Gratis by birth and descent. The effect
or Republican rule has been to draw
wealth from the wealth creators into
the control Of a comparatively few

The rapacity Of the Eupatrid class
had driven the populace to revolt. The
policy Of the Republican party had
driven the people to twice elect CIeve

Greek usurers brought the country to
ruin. Oar system of organized bank
brigands brought the business and
t1nancers Of the country to ruin as an
''object lesson" of their power to OBJ

Mark the difference. The E1patrid
class appointed q Scion with plenary
power. He cancelled all mortgage
debts; OURS are foreclosed. He can.
celled all debts and slaveries of the
poor; we maintain the ''inviolability of
contracts" He relieved the superior
deptor classes by debasing silver 81

the creditor class to Islander our silver
by calling it q 80 cent dollar and
aided them to rob US Of millions by
their refusal to take the money of con

dneness." ''InvioIability of contracts"
indeed The Greeks had an era of
prosperity free from debt. We have
present prosperity with bonds for wars,
bonds for foreigners, bonds for Cuba
