RELIABLE REMEDY
RESTORES KIDNEYS

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
edy.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. DR.. Kilmer used it for years in his
private practice. 1t helps the kidneys,
liver and bladder do the work nature In
tended they should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it will help you. No other remedy can
successfully take it's place.
Be sure to get Swamp Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper-Ady.

IN WASHABLE LINGERIE
MANY CHARMING AND PRAC.
TIcAL DESIGNS SHOWN.
French Ideas Improved Upon by
American Makers of Underwear
All Kinds of laces Have
Sanction of Fashion.

The best of French ideas have been
adopted by American designers and

Such display of charming and prac-
teal conceits are glimpsed in the
lingerie field that each one seems
prettier than the other. 1t is crafty

Laces of all kinds are used on fem

binche, fancy net laces, milan and rib
bon laces such as bruges, are amply
used Openwork embroidery in Eng

motifs, wheels and flowers meet in va
rious ways with lace trimming Little
tiny plaits alternating with handmade
openwork are features of the white
lingerie, which does not permit of a
touch of color to mar its snowy fair
ness
The newest lingerie is of silk wolfe
trimmed with succession of frillS
and footings.

part together and relied more upon
the grace of outline and daintiness of
material for it's charm than upon any
adornment of lace.
Nightrobes of lustrous pussy willow

trimmed simply with bows of ribbon
and picot edging. A row of large eye
lets just below the bust and another
row just below the knees allow wide
ribbons to be drawn through and tied

at the hem finish the rather full skirt
portion.
Almost all the chemises have re-
movable shoulder straps. They are
made shorter than usual and have
gained in width what they lost in
length.

For the mother. in a large series OF
cases studied, labor was delayed on an
average OF one hour and a half, and
often much longer. or the ten eases

Doctor DeLee visited the famous
hospitals of Berlin, Vienna. Munich
and Heidelburg. and IN all OF them
was told that this method had been
tried and discarded. The best Amer
team confinement doctors agree that
results in the past with this treatment
have not been satisfactory.
In fact, the whole impression
gained from published literature on
this subJect-the literature is large
and not to be easily understood by
the layman-is that the method is not

vn,p,zine. The article in question ap"
rcared under the signatures Of two
women. quite evidently medical
authorities, and contained frequent
,un,a,ions Of statements credited to
Kronis and Gauss.
The public, on reading this article.
naturally inferred that tins method
was something news as q matter OF
fac, the suggestion for the use or
combination of scopolamin 'hNoscin)
and morphin was made over Twelve
Years ago, and was put 10 81 tnorough

not altogether obsolete, II mas Deeh
practically discarded.
The history of the method Is OF IN
tores, Steinbuchel first published q
r,per I'm 1902, telling OF his expert
ments. He began with small doses OF
morphiu and scopolamin and had no
upfavorable results. that is, no dan

Tallowing his work, many physlc!-
ans used repeated doses OF morphln

excessively large doses, serious c0nse-
oueuces resulted. particularly the
death of the infant.
The method of Gauss In the clinic

after an interval Of about half an
hour the object is again called to her
attention. IL she remembers having

A natural Inference obtained from
reading magazine literature when
has recently appeared on this subject
is that the physician who withholds
this method from his labor cases IS
negligent Of his patients fishts. Ihe
facts are that the method has been
thoroughly investigated over long
ueriod OF time and has been found
wanting. because Of the dangers con-
nected with It. These dangers are
related particularly to the direct ac-
