THE NAGGING HABIT.
One of the Sins That Destroy the
 Comfort of Home.

Milwaukee Journal.
 There is one exceedingly disagreeabIe habit into which some people fali without seeming to notice it. This Is naR9lnp They cannot say what they have to saY and then let 1t alone. but keep peckinS and pecking at 1t on every occasion, ana If occasions do not arise naturallv thev make them. In this nagging sarcasm or irony bears leading part. A thing may be said once or twice as a pleasant raIi- lery in a genial humor. but when reneet ed over and over it ceases to be fun. It then cuts. Sarcasm Is a two-edged tool: Is aimed and it initiates and roughens the one who uses it. It is a dangerous tool for one to use who wishes to he eith- CT kind or just. It comes easily to the lips and the intellect takes a certain kind of delight In aptness. ingenuity or sharpness. It's use grows on one: at least the habit becomes so habitual that it is used 'unconsciously. However good nat urediy one seems to take it. it is almost certain to leave a sting; there is a wound that hurts Struggle against it as one will there will often be an impression carried that some part of 1t is meant in

MT. J. H. Button is probably one of the best and most favorably known knights of the grip travelling out of Alabama's Capital City. He is an Alabamian by birth and is closely identified with the States commercial interests.
 For several years Mir Buttons health has not been of the best. His family and his hosts of friends were very much wor- ried over his condition. He suffered con- stantly from acute kidney trouble which developed into gravel about eighteen months ago.
 When his physicians could give him no relief or encouragement. he became very blue. His countless friends recommend ed various liver and kidney medicines, which he tried without success, and later he visited several prominent health re- sorts, but. obtained no relief. Finally he began taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root and here is what he said recently to a reporter of The Advertiser of the result:
 For a number of years I suffered from kidney trouble. I not only suffered much, but the state of my health interfered seriously with my business duties The regulations of a commercial travellers life require promptness. and I often found 1t serious struggle to be at my post. Only by the greatest effort of my mind was I

able to continue at my work My condi- tion gradually became worse. though I gave every care and attention to my health. Finally. during the summer of 1899 the trouble developed into gravel which incre ased my suffering and anx- iety many fold. I tried numerous kidney remedies without relief. and also went to a well-known health resort noted for the great curative properties of it's waters Il remained there for some time. but ob- tained no benefit. Physicians were un- able to give me any relief.
 T returned to Montgomery and during the latter part of the summer l com menced taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root took three small bottles, which relieved me entirely of my trouble I must say this result was a great surprise to me. as I had lost faith in all medicines and had about concluded that I was doomed to be chronic sufferer.
 There is now no question in my mind of the good effect of Swamp Root for all kidney troubles and that it is far supe- rior to all other remedies, at least to the numerous ones I have fully tested. Dr. Kilmer has certainly discovered a great cure for kidney complications and kin dred complaints, and I unqualihedIy rec- ommend 1t to my friends and the public

ONLY SURE REMEDY
Mir, w. A. Seot Circulation Manager The Advertiser, Talk Entertainingly Regarding That Great Rem
 fs4 edy Swamp-Root

On November 11th, of this year. Mir. Scott made the following statement to the editor of The Advertiser:
 You may say for me that l think Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the greatest and only sure remedy in the world for troubles of the kidneys and bladder. This statement may seem extravagant. but l make it after I had been seriously af- ficted for a number of years, and after exhausting every reputable remedy on the market in the effort to obtain relief.
 When a man tries every means at his command to get rid of disease and fails he gradually becomes discouraged and gives up I did almost. but not quite, and to the fact that I tried one more time I undoubtedly owe my recov- cry.
 'I feel 1t my obligation to my fellow men to overlook no opportunity to rec ommend it to sufferers. no matter wheth- CT I am personally interested in them or not. I have been the means of placing Swamp Root in the hands of many af- fiicted people. and have never yet heard of it's failure to give relief.
 "I wish I could make stronger this fn- dorsement of the great virtues of Swamp Root for it deserves the b that can be said of it.. W. A. Scott!

It would not be an exaggeration to say that there Is no better known or more popular newspaper man in the Southern States than Mir W. A. Scott, formerly Assistant Circulation Manager of The St. Louis Post Dispatch. and for the past year Circulation Manager of The Mont gomery Advertiser.
 For a number of years Mir. Scott was afflicted with serious complications of the kidneys and bladder. He consulted sev- eral prominent physicians in St. Louis. Chicago and Kansas City, who all treated him without the slightest success. In many of the town and cities visited. while looking after his business, he re- ceived all kinds of advice and had count less remedies recommended. Most of these he tried with no material or per manent benefit. His friends and employ CTS became seriously concerned over his condition, and it was feared that he would have tor permanently retire from business if nothing more serious result ed. Being close and constant newspa- per reader, MT. Scott had frequently seen advertisements telling of the wonderful results accomplished by Swamp-Root in conditions similar to his. and he began taking this great remedy.

Mir Bernard Berger. a well-to-do mer- chant of corner High and Hall Streets. Highland Park, was for several years an intense sufferer from rheumatism. Doc tors were consulted, but were unable to relieve him. As last resort. he was persuaded. through an advertisement in The Advertiser, to try pr.

 Two years ago I had a severe attack of rheumatism. Was confined to my bed for two months and suffered intense pain.
