TEN WEEKS in BED---EMI-
NENT PHYSICIANS FAILED
WONDERFUL RECOVERY

l wish to inform you of the great
benefit l have derived from the use
of Swamp-Root. l had been sufferer
for more than twenty years from kid
ney and liver trouble and was almost
constantly treated by the most emf
nent physicians who could only give
me temporary relief ! had been in
bed ten weeks when l began the use
of Swamp-Root. INSIDE of twenty
four hours | could see that | had
been greatly benefited. / continued
to use Swamp-Root until l had used
several bottles when / really felt that
my old trouble was completely cured
and I am positive that any person
suffering with kidney or liver trou-
BILE can be cured by the use of this
preparation.
I am now in the best of health,
better than I have been for ten years
or more. I do not know how to eX-
press myself as strongly as | desire,
in favor of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
as am sure that it saved my life and
that my good health is due entirely
to this great remedy. / heartily
recommend it to every sufferer and
am confident they can be benefited
as l have been. 1t is pleasure for
me, gentlemen, to hand you this
recommendation.

Parted Hair.

In spite of every style that comes
and goes in hair dressing, the parted
coiffure always enjoys certain pop
ularity, says an exchange. Just now,
the part is on the side. and it is very
becoming part to most types of face.
The sculptors Of classical times and
many artists of later days-notably
Raphael-almost always parted the
hair, and it has been said that their
reason for doing so was that they
wished to impart an intellectual air
to the women they created. That.
surely. is not the reason the coiffure
of today parts the hair of some of his
patrons. But his reason is good

ableness. the part of today is becom-
