THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win lht
Peoples Confidence

Have o ever stopped to reason
why 1t 10 that SO many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason is plain-the arr
ticIe did not fulil1 the promises of
the manufactures. This applies more
particularly to d medicine. Al medi-
cinal preparation that has real cura-
tive value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy
is recommended by those who have
been cured, to those who are in need
of 1t.
In an interview on the subject a
prominent local druggist says Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation / have sold for
many years N neyer hesitate to rec
ommend, for in almost every case 1t
shows immediate results, as many cus-
toners testify. No other kidney rem
edy that I know OF has 50 large a
SALE
The success of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that 1T .fulfllIs
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder diseases, c~orrects urinary
troubles and ~neutraIizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
Al free trial bottle will be sent by
mail, absolutely free. Address DIR.
Kilmer Il Co. Binghamton. N. T., and
mention this paper. Regular size bot
ties sold at ali druggists-50c. and
s1.0o.

was a break of about % points from the
