I always carry a large stock of Swamp-Root and it has a steady de- nand for kidney liver and bladder troubles. Very frequently my custom CTS give personal testimony as to the medicinal value of Swamp-Root, and 1t is a common occurrence for me to sell to people who buy the remedy on the recommendation of others who have used it. Have sold Swamp-Root since it was first put on the market, and will continue to sell it until a bet ter kidney, liver and bladder remedy is found.

 ''At a time when the struggle Is still progressing toward the object of the war-the defeat of our enemies + and while Germans in the field and at home are ruled by a single purpose, to win, we cannot yet discuss in de- tail all the questions which must be solved at and after the conclusion of peace.
