MILD, GENTLE LAXATIVE
 FOR WOMEN GIVEN FREE

So many of the ills of women are due to habitual constipation. probably be- cause of their false modesty on the sub ject, that their attention cannot be too strongly called to the importance of keep ing the bowels open. It Is always impor- tant to do that. regardless of the sex, but 1t Is especially important in women.
 From the time the girl begins to men struate until menstruauon ceases she has always vastly better prospects of coming through healthy if she watches her bowel movements If you find yourself consti- pated. with bad breath. pimply complex ion. headaches, belchng gas and other symptoms of indigestion and constipation.

around came to see John Spriggs' fine rig and everybody west of the Ale gheny mountains knew John Spriggs was the owner of the finest rig in the country.
 One of the famous trips made by the carriage was when the Spriggs family. consisting of John, his wife and two children, started out from Cincinnati for long trip to Philadel- phia in this new carriage. Two hors- es were hitched to the combination shaft and enough provisions for a month were packed in the little bear. skin covered trunk fastened to the back of the carriage. It took all of two weeks to go from Cincinnati to Philadelphia and ten days to come back. The carriage stood the trip well. It made other trips just as well ard is yet a good rig though somewhat out of date.

Exhortinq the Ducks.

There are two tiny boys in this town whose mother sings often to them at their request, and as she is an ardent church woman, the children hear as many hymns as anything else. The oth- CT day they were playing with their wooden ducks in the bathtub, and strangely enough the ducks were more inclined to float sideways than in the approved manner. After several at tempts to keep the misguided ducks straight the older boy shouted:
 Stand up. duck, stand upi" Then two-year-old. noting the familiar phrase, leaned over the tub and ex- horted: "'Tand up, duck! 'Tand up for Jesus!"

PHYSICAL WRECK RESTORED TO HEALTH BY GREAT KID-
 NEY REMEDY

Some time ago I began the use of Dr. kilmer's Swamp Root with the most remarkable results. For years was almost wreck and was great sufferer. The doc tors who treated me made me believe that my great sufferings were due to female trouble. l was so bad at times I would faint away and had sinking spells. Finally new doctor was called in and he said that I had kidney trouble and gave me medicine, of which I took sev- eral bottles. l obtained some relief from this but 1 was getting weaker all the tune; l could not sleep and suffered so much pain that my husband and children had to lift me in and out of bed. After this time two friends sent me word to try Dr. hilmer's Swamp-Root, which 1 did, and l am glad to state that the first dose gave me great relief After taking the third dose l was helped into bed and slept half of the night.
 took several bottles of Swamp Root and l feel that l owe my life to this wonderful remedy. The two family doc tors said that l could not live three months; my urine was in a terrible con dition-thiek and slimy-and l would have to be helped in and out of bed ten to twenty times every night. After taking Dr. kilmer's Swamp-R Root for two days | was entirely free from getting up and could sleep soundly.
