Man and His Tailor.

A man can be measured to the best
advantage, tailors say, away from a
glass. Standing before mirror he Is
almost certain to throw out his chest,
If he does not habitually carry it so,
and take an attitude that he would
like to have rather than the one he
commonly holds, whereas the tailor
wants him, as the portrait painter
wants his subject, in his natural pose
and manner. With the man in that at
titude the tailor can bring his art to
bear, If that is required, in the over
coming of any physical defect and pro-
duce clothes that will give the best at
tainable effect upon the figure as they
will be actually worn.-New York Sun.

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-RoOt, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
sca1ding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
oovery and book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, DR.. Kill

writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the
address, Binghamton, n. Y, on every
bottle.
