my bed about eight weeks under the
doctors care. He pronounced my case

ceived, I decided to try Swamp-Root
After taking several bottles of Swamp
Root I was able to get up and attend
to my work About a year later my
husband was affected with a severe
attack of kidney trouble and doctored
for some time wit hthe doctors and re-
ceived no benefit. Knowing of the
good had received, he decided to try
swamp Root. His condition was such
that he was confined to his bed and
words cannot tell how he suffered, but
after taking Swamp-Root he was re-
lieved so he could go on with his
work without pain. wish to heartily
recommend Swamp-Root to all per-

habits and who had the faculty of
looking into the future.
Yet while George Law was gaining
In prosperity he was constantly IN
touch with the old folks upon the
farm In the country near Troy. He
had accumulated a considerable sum
upon which be was relying as imam
cial basis for certain contracts which
he hoped 20 secure. But Just az thar
time he heard indirectly that his old
father was staggering under a load
Indebtedness. His farm had been
mortgaged and the interest upon the
mortgage was eating up the farm.
Young Law did not hesitate an in

asked for statement which would
show what his Indebtedness was.
When the statement YVES procured
the young man took out OF his small
accumulation enough to liquidate
every mortgage so that he was able
to turn over to his father Quit-claim

Ject OF protection against floods in this
city. At that meeting Captain Mitchell

Others who have given some study TO
the subject wiz also participate In the
discussion.

first step to effect protection against
floods is TO arouse sufficient interest

zens that such protection can be Sc.
