ONLY SURE REMEDY.
Mr. w. A. Scott, Circulation Manager The Advertiser Talks Entertainingly Regarding That Great
 Remedy SwampRoot.

[ On November 11th, of this year, MT. Scott made the following statement to the editor of The Advertiser:
 You may say for me that 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 1 make it after 1 had been seriously af- fiicted 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 generally becomes discouraged and gives up. I did almost, but not quite. and to the fact that I tried one more time l undoubtedly owe my recov- | cry.
 T feel it my obligation to my fellow men to overlook no opportunity to re- commend 1t to sufferers no matter wheth- 1 CT I am personally interested in them or not. I have been the means of placing Swamp-Root in the hands of many af- flieted people, and have never yet heard of it's failure to give relief.
 "I wish I could make stronger this in- dorsement of the great virtues of Swamp Root. for 1t deserves the best that can be said of 1t. w. A. Scott"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-03-15

en found it serious struggle to be at my post. Only by the greatest effort of my mind was l able to continue at my work. My condition gradually became worse. though l gave every care and at tention to my health. I tried numerous kidney remedies without relief, and also went to weil-known health resort noted for the great curative powers of its wa ters. l remained there for some time, but obtained no benefit. Physicians were un- able to give me any relief.
 T returned to Montgomery, and dur ing the latter part of the Summer 1 com menced taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root. took three small bottles which relieved me entirely of my trouble. 1 must say this result was a great surprise to me, as l had lost faith in all medi- ctnes and had about concluded that l was doomed to be a chronic sufferer
 There is now no question in my mind of the good effect of Swamp-Root for all kidney troubles, and that 1t Is far su- perior to all other remedies. Dr. Kilmer has certainly discovered a great cure for kidney complications and kindred com .plaints, and I unqualifledly recommend 1t to my friends and the public.

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-Dispatcn, and for the past Jear Circulation Manager of The Mont gomery Advertiser.
 For number of years MT Scott was afflicted with serious complications of the kidneys and bladder. He consulted several prominent physicians in St. Louis chicago and Kansas City, who all treat ed him without the slightest success. In many of the towns and cities visited, while looking after his business, he re- CeiVed all kinds of advice and had count -ess remedies recommended. Most ot ,-.eSe he tried with no material or per inanent benefit His friends and employ CTS became seriously concerned over his loadition, and it was feared that he would have to permanently retire from business. If nothing more serious result ed Being close and constant newspa- per reader, Mir. Scott had frequently seen advertisements telling of the wonderful c5ults accomplished by Swamp Root in

MT. J. H. Button is probably one of the best and most favorably known knights of the grip travelling out of Ala bama's Capital City. He Is an Alabamian by birth and is closely identified with the States commercial interests.
 For several years MT. 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, nc became very blue. His countless friends recommended 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. Kilmers Swamp-Root and here is what he said recently to reporter of The Advertiser:
 For a number of years I suffered from kidney trouble. I not only suffered much, but the state of my health inter- fered seriously with my business duties. The regulations of a commercial trav- eler's life require promptness, and oft

 Swamp-Root and Will Not Do Whhort It.

Mir. c. H. Krueger, a widely-known tonsorial artist and proprietor of bar Der shop located at No. North Court Street, Montgomery. Ala. was for sev- eral years an intense sufferer from kid ney trouble but is today well and happy man, and confesses that his pres ent condition is entirely due to Dr. Kill mer's wonderful remedy Here is what he said recently to an Advertiser report CT:
 About three years ago was seriously affected with kidney trouble, and suffered with pains in my back. I was out of health and run down generally; had no appetite, was dizzy and suffered with severe headache most of the time. I did not know that my kidneys were the cause of all my trouble, but somehow felt

My physicians could give me no relief, and my family and friends, as well as my self, felt that my trouble would end in Bright's disease. About this time be- gan to take Swamp-Root: took in all about six bottles, was completely cured, and am today perfectly well and can go all day without any inconvenience.
 ''I am so grateful for what Swamp-Root did for me that I always keep a bottle at home; I told my friends about 1t and I believe. by personal recommendation, I have been the means of selling at least one hundred bottles.

In recent interview with reporter of The Advertiser, MT. Gammell said:
 My endorsement of Swamp-Root can not be written strong enough, and hard ly know how to express my heartfelt ap- preciation for he wonderful good Swamp-Root did me.
 For years I had been greatly troubled with my kidneys and with severe pains in my back; also with what several doc tors termed inflammation of the neck of the bladder. Sometimes my back would get in such shape that was almost help less. I had tried several good doctors and two or three highly recommended liver and kidney medicines, but could get no relief.

for the gathering. Then came the era
OF numbering. Great RATS of oak. wal
nut, elm and hickory filled the creeks
and rivers tributary to the greater
streams emptying into the Mississippi.
These were the palmy days of the big
timber.
Ruthlessly the vandal axes hewed at
the monarchs of the forest, whose sap
ling days were centuries before. But
even in these extensive forests, in time
the big logs became a scarcity.
Then at the extension of railroads was
created the demand for railroad ties.
Timber too small for lumber could be
worked up for the purpose, and the
oak ties of the Ozarks were in demand.
That was the beginning of the tie era.
Tiemaking is still an important indus
try, though by no means what it used
to be. Except in inaccessible places the
tie timber" is growing scarcer.
The man who does not cultivate a
patch" in the Ozarks is in all probable
1ty a tieman. Patch" is the %vernacular
for farm, and the v%ernacular is as rug
ged as the Ozark patch usually is. Tie
man is a generic title, for the tieman
may be a tie maker, tie marker, tie
gauger, tie putter out, tie rafter or tie
agent. The tieman, any way, has ONE
thing or other. to do with the making
or handling of railroad ties.
After farming and fruit raising, the
most important industry in the hard
wood regions of the Ozarks is tie max
ing. Thus it follows that if you do not
possess the desirable patch you
