lowing justice of the peace advertisement

Ladies and gents contemplating mat
rimony should see me, as l now throw
in with every marriage service a free ride
all around the city and a dandy wedding
certificate. Or, if preferred, an order for
a dozen photographs or a Ife-size crayon
of the bride made by my wife who is
away up in the crayon business. Come

The way to be well is to pay attention
to your kidneys,
They are the most important organs
of the b%ody-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 Of 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 w~ork-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.

IN FAVOR OF THE CENTAUR co.
Judge Adams Granted an Injunction
in the Castoria Case.

In the United States Circuit Court
Tuesday afternoon Judge Adams hand
ed down an opinion in the suit of the
Centaur Company, of New York City,
against Samuel W. Eslinger, Of st.
Louis, the suit being for an injunction
to restrain the defendant from using
the plaintiffs remedy, "Castoria."
1t vas stated in compliments bill
that the Centaur Company, Of which
Charles il. Fletcher is president, is the
sole manufacturer of '~'Castoria," and
alleged that the defendant had been
selling medicine in packages closely re-
sembling those Of the New York firm.
A preliminary injunction was prayed
for to restrain the defendants from in
any way pirating upon the complain
ants business. The bill ayerred that the
damages sustained were large, but
could not be estimated. The plea of the
defendant was that he had a right to do
as he had done.
Evidence in the case was taken by af-
fidayits. Judge Adams, without leay-
ing the bench, delivered an opinion in
which he denounced imitators of we'll
known medicines. He said the practice
was a species of robbery and he would
grant the injunction sought.
The medicine "Castoria" was at first
protected by patent and later by label
and trade mark, The plaintiff claimed
that other decisions similar to the one
handed down yesterday have been Sc
cured in the Federal courts, cases being
innumerable in Chicago, indianapolis,
District of Columbia. Texas and New
Jersey, in all Of which the courts grant
ed %injunctions,
The attorneys in this suit were Sed-
don and Blair of st, Louis, and +. II.
Scott, Of Chicago, for the complain
ants and Michael Kineally for the de-
PENDANT. The preliminary injunction is
understood to settle the point of law
involved, but the question of damages
will be ~adjudged when the east has its
final hearing.
The bottles of the original "Castoria''
manufactured by the Centaur Company
bear the facsimile signature of the pres
ident, Charles II, Fletcher, on the label,
while the bottles sold by the defendant
company bore on the label the words
pitchers Baby Castoria." 1t is said
hat criminal proceedings will follow,
and that several arrests may be made.

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear, There IS
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the mu'
eous lining OF the Eustachl9n Tube. when
this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases OF Of ten are caused by catarrh,
