The Chins of Burma.

The Chins of Burma are divided into
a large number Of clans. and man
may not marry woman of his own
clan, but after the marriage ceremonies
are over the wife is initiated into her
husbands clan and has her wrists
wrapped round with cotton yarn as a
witness TO all evil spirits that she is
under the guardianship Of the kun, or
ancestry, of her husband. The Chins
are afraid Of witches; but, as has been
the case with other peoples, they find
great difficulty in learning for certain
whether a given woman is witch or
not. If they knew it they would GER
tainly drive the woman out of the vii
lage and perhaps resort to further vio-
lence. Like the Burmese, they believe
that witches have the power by their
incantations to introduce foreign mat
tiers into the bodies Of those whom
they hate and so to cause them to die.

4 Kidney Remedy Advertise
mGnt Brought Great
Happiness

1 take pleasure in stating that I have
used DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, that /
was greatly benefited by the same and
have used it in my family. 1 had a
son, when quite young he suffered from
bladder or kidney affection. 1 called in
my physician, he attended him but did
him no good. Almost by accident
noticed an advertisement about the
curative properties of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root. I procured a bottle and
gave it to him according to directions.
1t cured him of what we thought was
almost impossible and the same with
others of my family. I have such
strong faith in Swamp Root that |
have never done without it in my fam
lily since the wonderful cure of my son
as we'll as myself. l recommend it to
all who suffer from kidney or bladder
troubles and I am led to believe that
it is one of the best medicines for the
purpose for which it is used. that has
ever been discovered.
This is my experience from the use
of Swamp Root Wishing the promo
tiers of this wonderful medicine large
