American people threatens the ma
tional prosperity are finding support
for their claims in some statistics

count of various luxuries imported

clous stones and jewelry imported.

amount seems small when compared
to the sum of 100000 devoted
to various forms of woman's wear

On art objects Americans expended

Appendicitis and after having an operation
performed it left me with a severe case
of kidney trouble. was doctored by sew

the advice of friend and procured bot
tie of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root. After
taking the contents of the first bottle / felt
greatly relieved and decided to continue it.
After using the contents of three more dol
