Many Children Suffer
From Kidney Trouble

Three years ago my little girl, Angela,
was taken sick with scarlet fever and
hter dropsy set in; her face and limbs
swelled and her eyes pulled. A leading
physician here at the time, treated her
without the slightest success. A sample
Of your Swamp-Root having been left at
the house at the time, / resolved to try
it, and as it agreed with her stomach i
continued using it with gratifying results
The Inflammation began to subside after
she had taken the first fifty-cent bottle, and
after she took two large bottles she was
pronounced cured by the doctor, and has
been in good health ever since. The doc
tor came to see her every day and exam
ined her every second day until he pro-
nounced her kidneys in perfect condition
Now then the doctor was under the inn
preston that / was giving my girl his
medicine, but as his medicine had failed
to do bit Of good, and desiring not to
offend him, did not tell him l was CIV
ing her Swamp Root and he did not know
the difference. l did not use one drop of
his medicine after ! started my girl on
Swamp Root, and have always felt that
DIR. Kilmer's SWamp-R Root saved my girls
life, for which am grateful.

SLUGGISH MARKET
 AT NEW ORLEANS Price of Cotton Barely Moves on the Week-End
 Session

New Orleans, February 13-The price of cotton barely moved on the weekend session, the future list closing at exactly the level of yesterdays close, something which rarely happens. Prices had no decided tendency at any time. At their highest they were ? to points over yes- terday's close, and at their lowest points under. The dullness was due in a great measure, to the holidays of the early part of next week
 Sentiment was bearish, but shorts were not willing to increase their lines On the contrary, some little covering came from them. Much bearish talk was caused by developments in international politics and lower spot prices in the south resulted in unfavorable comment
 The undertone of the market was steady enough. which was apparently due to the continued heavy export movement and the increase in northern mill takings. Secretary Hester of the New Orleans exchange putting these takings at 91 ,00o bales for the week, against 6000O this week last year.
