an aristocrat of the old southern school,
courtly and impressive. His collars are
made in the fashion of so years ago, and his
neckties the same. Withal the colonel is

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
Kidney trouble is in itself so insidious
and deceptive that thousands have
some form Of 1t and never suspect IL.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But OF until recently was the discov-
ery made. DR.. Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in Tie grand re-
suit, announced the discovery of
Swamp-R Root, which has proven itself a
most wonderful cure for all diseases of
the kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such a
remarkable success In curing kidney
and bladder diseases, 1t has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stom-
ach troubles, and in the regulation and
cure of all uric acid troubles.
II your water, when allowed to remain
undisturbed in q glass or bottle for
twenty-four hours. forms a sediment or
settling, or has cloudy appearance, it

der need immediate attention.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to

cessful in every case, that a special ar
rangement has been made by which all
