This one did. He told me Of a poor littlt
Columbus girl who was hopelessly in love
with him. UnreQuited love is such a bid
for sympathy, you know, and in this case
it seemed SO dreadiully pathetic. Poor little

he could not care for her-for, well, she
cared too much for him, you know.

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

Almost everybody who reads thu
newspapers is sure to know of Swamp
Root, the great Kidney remedy.
1t is the great medical triumph of the
nineteenth century; discovered after
years of scientific research by the EN-.
inent kidney and bladder specialist, DR.
Kilmer, and has truly wonderful pow
ers in curing kidney, liver, bladder and
uric acid diseases.
Kidney trouble irresponsible formore
sickness and sudden deaths than any
other disease, and is so deceptive that
thousands have it without knowing 1t.
Thousands owe their health and even
life toSwamp-Root, and thousands more
who to-day think themselves beyond
help can be made well by the use OF
this great remedy.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that a special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have a sample bottle
sent absolutely free by mail. Also a
book telling more about Swamp-Root
and containing some Of the thousands
upon thousands of testimonial letters
received from men and women who owe
their good health, in fact, their very
lives, TO the wonderful curative proper
ties of Swamp-Root. Be sure and men,
ton this paper when sending your adj
dress to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
n. Y.
II you are already convinced that
Swamp-Root is what you need, you can
purchase the regular ifty-cent and one
dollar size bottles at drug-stores.

paper Advertising.

The young man whose portrait is here
printed is a living, breathing iilustra-
ton of the success which can be OBJ
tanned by practical faith and persistent
and judicious investment in newspaper
advertising. Mr.. Kramer only a few
years ago, without capital, started in Il
most modest way, advertising in news
papers the merit of a tobacco-habit
cure, building up an enormous mail or
der business for that successful specific.
His original line, Don't tobacco
spit and smoke your life away"
through the medium of newspa-
pers, became known throughout
the Englisl-speaking world, and
brought in unprecedented results. The
secret Of his advertising method is re
investment" When MIR. Kramer ran
his first little advertisement ten years
ago his capital was less than IL hum
