Suffered TWenty.0ae. Years
Finally Found Relief

Having suffered for twenty-one years
with a pain in my side, finally have
found relief in DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. Injections of morphine were my
only relief for short periods of time.
I became so sick that / had to under
go a surgical operation in New Or
leans. which benefited me for two
years. When the same pain came
back one day ! was SO sick that l
gave up hopes of living. A friend ad-
vised me to try your Swamp-Root and
/ at once commenced using 1t. The
first bottle did me 80 much good that
1 purchased two more bottles. I am
now on my second bottle and am feel
ing like a new woman. I passed a
gravel stone as large as big red
bean and several small ones. l have
not had the least feeling of pain since
taking your Swamp-Root and i feel it
my duty to recomend this great medi-
cine to all suffering humanity.

The Alaska daily empire., 1914-08-17

If all the warning nations of Europe were tomorrow to drop hostilities, leave boundaries as they were, forget reprisals, and turn over to their sub jects the vast sums they have voted for war expenditures, think what would happen!
 How many boys and girls would be equipped with educations, who other. wise must struggle along without them! How many cripples provided with artificial limbs!
 How many sick restored to health!
 How many discoveries and inven' tions worked out which now halt for want of funds!
 How many toilers rested and given fresh start!
 How many babies, lives saved!
 How many books written!
 How many debts paid!
 How many homes made happy!
 It would be the easiest thing in the world.
 It Is simply a matter of saying, we governments exist for the real bene- fit of our peoples, not for the aggran. dizement, nor the satisfaction of an cient grudges, nor even the glory of our nations.
 We are simply great numbers of peo- pie, suffering, rejoicing, starving, feast ing, toiling, learning, living and dying.
 What prifteth 1t nation if 1t shall conquer the world at the cost of the lives and happiness of thousands of it's people?"
 And yet there is no power on earth, apparently, that can dissolve the mob spirit which at present dominates the actions of European nations, into sane self.consciousness And so health and happiness and education and pro gress will have to wait until they re- cover from their debauch. - Seattle Sun.
