The Secret Of Success

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are cx-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
OF sight and are soon forgotten3 The
reason is plain-thc article did not fulfil
the promises Of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
a medicinal preparation that has real
curative 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 it.
In an interview on the subject promi-
nent local druggist says: Take, for ex-
ample, DR.. kilmcr's Swamp-Roo a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate 10 recommend, Tor in
almost every case il shows immediate
results, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know OF
has so large a sale"
The success Of DIR. Kilmcr's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that it fuliils every
