WONDERFUL STORY OF AN OLD
SOLDIER ABOUT A GREAT
KIDNEY REMEDY.

Having suffered so much for years
with Inflammation of the kidneys, blad-
der and enlargement of prostate gland.
also with an injury to canal caused by
roughness of doctors in forcing sound
catheters, ETC., into the bladder, after
hours of retention of urine, 1 now feel
well as l ever expect to be and truly
thankful. 1t was thru seeing your ad-
vertisement of Swamp-Root in Bos-
ton paper that 1 at last found some
thing reliable which in the future will
prevent the using of instruments so
often and relieve much suffering.
Having a doctor in the family, l re-
lied somewhat on his treatment in the
past, but in my last serious illness, his
medicine didn't have its usual effect
and when my acute kidney trouble
caused dropsy and my face to swell bad
ly, 1 knew something heroic must be
done to prevent it rapidly extending
over my whole body, as it often does
in such severe cases, especially Bright
disease. 1 then ordered large bottle
of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, which
soon reduced most of the distressing
pains and the swelling also. Before It's
use, there was over one inch of sedi-
ment in a quart of urine. Now it is
clearer than ii has been for years. /
feel sure that if / continue taking your
medicine. l will be nearly or completely
out of danger. Many who knew my
condition before commencing Swamp
Root think my partial cure something
wonderful, and L have only just COM
menced on the second bottle. l will
always feel safe with $1.00 bottle OF
your wonderful remedy in my house.
Under the above circumstances, feel it a
duty I owe DR.. Kilmer & Co. to write
this testimonial to show the public what
Swamp-Root has done and is doing for
sufferer of many years, who wore the
blue between 1S60-65 and took part in
the siege of Paris against the Commune
soldiers and followers in 1871.

THE PRESIDENTS SECRETARY
Everybody Rejoices Over fhe Selection
of Charles ID. HilleS.

Possibly out in the States the people
do not care SO much about it, but there
is always very great interest at WASH
ington over a new Secretary to the Pres
ident. That means there is very great
interest just now in Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Charles d. Hilles, whose
selection for the important official post
close to the President is announced.
Washington already feels Very well ac-
quainted with Mr.. Hilles, and there is
a well-defined conviction in advance
that. mighty as are the official obstacles
he will encounter, he can be depended
upon to add one name to the list of
Secretaries to the President who have
not failed.
The word goes around Washington
that "Hilles knows politics." He speaks
the language of the political tribes and,
among other qualifications, that is very
essential. He also knows news and how
to impart it. That is another essential.
Nowadays a Secretary to the President
must have something of the sense and
training that makes a successful Wash
ington correspondent, or his incum-
bency spells additional worries for his
chief. Mr.. Hilles is withai courteous
and tactful. There are hundreds of peo-
pie who parade in the role of advisers
and friends of the President. They will
be kept in good humor when they trek
over the Secretary's Threshold.
There are about as many Secretaries
in Washington as officials, for what Off
cial would have any dignity or prestige
in the Federal community without a
Secretary? They are especially numer-
Gus at the Capitol, and very especially
numerous at the Senate, where some of
the Senators have two or three or more
each. They have fallen a-foul of Vice
President Sherman, or Vice President
Sherman has fallen a-foul of them, and
there is war 1t might be added that
the fortunes of this war are all on the
side of the Vice President.
The red-cushiOned chairs and sofas
at the rear of the Senate Chamber are
nice and coy, as the Secretaries found
out long ago. There is an air of dis
tinction and ease in the enjoyment of
floor privileges, which the Secretaries
realize, even IL they have to stand lean
ing against the Senate's walls when the
lred-cushioned chairs and sofas are all
filled. So numerousiy have the Secre-
taries been crowding around and con-
versing uproariously that the Vice Pres
ident believes they disturb orderly pro-
cedure. He has ordered a stricter en-
forcement of the rules which keep the
Secretaries off the floor, except on par
ticular occasions when they have bust
ness, and nearly every Secretary is rush
ine to his Senator with protests The
controversy Is spirited and bitter, and
the Vice President announces that ,un-
less the Secretaries keep within bounds
he will announce that the Sergeant-at-
Arms is not efficient in enforcing order
| ly conduct among the Senate's EN-
Moves
