Doctors Said He Would Die
A Friends Advice Saves Life

wish to speak of the wonderful euro
that l have received from your noted
Swamp-Root, the great kidney and blad-
der cure. Last summer I was taken with
severe pains in my back and sides. I
could not breathe without difficulty and
was nearly wild with the desire to urinate.
Was compelled to do 30 every ten min
utes with the passage of pure blood with
the urine. tried all the different doc
tors from far and near, but they said it
was no use to doctor as would die any
way. l was at the end of my rope and
was so miserable with pain and the
thought that must die that words can
not tell how felt. One day friend told
me Of the wonderful help she had received
from DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. She gave
me one of your pamphlets which I read
and determined to try Swamp Root. After
taking half a bottle I felt better. Have
now taken ten bottles and am well as I
ever was, thanks to Swamp-Root. 1 wish
to tell all suffering people that have kid
ney, liver or bladder trouble, that DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp Root il the best medicine on
the market.
All persons doubling this statement can
write to me and I will answer them di-

portion about the crown. The fexibil-
ity of the crown makes It possible to
turn II up or down anywhere. 1t may
be considerably stretched also. Extra
width Is sometimes let in the brim
in another straw or fabric and con-
cealed by . silk facing on the under
brim and q soft scarf or sash on the
upper brim.
If the shape seems to be passable
without piecing there Is no other trim
ming better than a drapery Of light
silk or chiffon. The rule Is that the
drapery should be light and durable
like the hat, and In spite Of its fragile
appearance chiffon may be repeatedly
washed.
The owner Of q panama hat should
not use hatpins to fasten 1t on with.
Hat fasteners should be sewed to the
head band and thrust into the hair to
secure the hat to the head. 1t Is al
most a crime to thrust pins through
the beautiful. painstaking weave Of
which the hat is made. The evidence
of carelessness shows a lack of ap-
probation. When one sees fine pa
