THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required TO Win the
Peoples Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason why
il is that 30 many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop
out of sight and are. soon forgotten !
The reason is plain-the article. did not
fulfill the promises Of the manufacturer.
This applies more particularly to mod
icine. 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 benefited. to those who are
in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take
for example Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
a preparation I have sold for many
wears and never hesitate to recommend, !,
for in almost every case it shows ex-
celIent results, as many Of my custom
ers testify. No other kidney remedy
that I know Of has so large sale. i"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, tho success
of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to
the fact that it fulfills almost every
wish in overcoming kidney, livcr and
bladder diseases, coyrects urinary trou-
bles and neutralizes the uric acid which
causes rheumatism.

Telegraphic communication over the

rapping and bridge approa aches on the
Salt Lake Route between Acoma and
Callente. The westbound trains over the
line are stalled at Acoma and the east
bound trains at Callente, Both lines of
the Southern Pacific between San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles are OUT as the
result of the heavy rains. The coast
line OF the Southern Pacific is washed
out just south OF Santa Barbara and the
valley line at the TehachapI mountains.
The valley line at the point OF the wash
out is used jointly by the Southern Pa
cifc and Santa Fe lines, All rail COM
muncation, therefore. with Los Angeles
and the north and east is entirely cut off.

Route which reached Salt Lake from Los
Angeles was No. S, the eastbound Los
