The game opened with Taftville los
ing the choice for ends and having
10 play against strong wind. The
ground was in hard condition, the
Footing was not sure, consequently
many mis1icks were made. Brown set
the ban in motion for Taftville, but
run in on Sterlings goal was cleverly
lepulsed by the Sterling fullbacks.
Both sides showed good football and
it was evident the game would be a
fast one. During this half, Sterling
had most of the play, but Taftville
played q good defensive game, the half
Lacks showing up splendidly and time

play Sterling secured a nice goal,
following a mislIick by Wilson. They
deserved the goal and the point was
dsverly taken. Midtield play contin-
ued for the rest of this half, which
ended in favor Of Sterling 10.

How She Fooled
The Doctor

Three years ago my little girl. An
gela, was taken sick with scarlet fever
and later dropsy set in; her face and
limbs swelled and her eyes puffed. A
leading physician here at the time,
treated her without the slightest sue
cess. A sample of your Swamp Root
having been left at the house at the
time, l resolved to try it, and as it
agreed with her stomach | continued
using it with grateful results. The in
f1ammation began to subside after she
had taken the first fffty-cent bottle,
and after she took two large bottles she
was pronounced cured by the doctor
and has been in good health ever since.
The doctor came to see her every day
and examined her every second day
until he pronounced her kidneys in
perfect condition.
Now then the doctor was under the
impression that I was giving my girl
his medicine, but as his medicine had
failed to do bit Of good, and desiring
not to offend him, I did not tell him I
was giving her Swamp Root and he
did not know the difference. l did not
use one drop of his medicine after l
started my girl on Swamp Root, and
have always felt that DIR. Kilmer' s
Swamp Root saved my girls life, for
which | am grateful
I cannot praise it too highly.
Very truly,
