And maybe your hopes grow dim,

You have only lost your hold;
Get back to the life and back TO the

Get back TO your works enfold.
There is work laid out for your hands

So stick to your task with vim;
There is nothing the matter my boy

During the last few years, conditions in
oil lines Of business, even professional
life, have changed SO completely that ev-
cry man is waking up to the fact that in
order to win success he must specialize
and learn to do some one thing and do it
well.
So it is with any article that is sold to
the people. 1t must have genuine merit
or no amount of advertising will maintain
the demand for the article.
For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Rem

tors had so much confidence in it that they
invited every one to test it.
