Gentlemen:-About one year ago
two of my children suffered badly
from weak kidneys and diabetes;
their urine was very bad and they
have severe spells of dizziness, and
were all run down in health. / was
just about discouraged. / tried sew
eral remedies and finally a doctor,
nut they did not seem to improve. I
knew of a friend who was taking
Swamp-Root for kidney trouble with
good results, and I decided to get
some for the children. / noticed
there was some improvement after
they had taken two large bottles,
and continued to give it to them un-
til they had taken a half-dozen bot
ties and were we'll on the road to re-
covery. 1 think Swamp-Root has
done more for my children than any
other medicine l have tried, and I
recommend it to one having children
who suffered as mine did.

Good Advice Regarding The Proven
ton of Coughs and Colds.

If people would only properly forti-
fly and strengthen their system. about
IS per cent of coughs, colds and pneu-
monia might be avoided. These troub-
les are simply the result Of weakness,
which produces d catarrhal condition
of the mucous membrane, which is as
an internal skin of the body. When the
skin is weakened, it becomes, infected
with germs which are carried through
the system by the blood. The parasites
attack and break these delicate tissues
and set up a soreness which produce
what is in reality an external scrofula.
The only thing that Will cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia is a
medication which is absorbed and car
ried by the blood so that the diseased
membrane is disinfected, cleaned,
soothed and healed.
We have remedy which we honestly
believe infallible and indispensable for
the prevention and cure of coughs.
colds and all catarrhal conditions. 1t
is the prescription of a famous ply

ton Of 80 years of cures gained
through the use Of this medicine We
promise TO eltHeT effect d cure III every
case or make no charge for the medi-
cine. We urge everybody in Augusta
who has need of such a medicine to
try ReXall Mucu-Tone.
1t stands to reason that we could not
afford to make such statements and
give our own personal guarantee to
this remedy if we were not absolutely
positive that we could substantiate our
claim In every particular. and we see
no reason why anyone should hesitate
to accept our offer and try it. We have

is sufficient fer a cure. As a general
