THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win
the Peoples Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon forgot
ten? The reason is plain-the article
did not fulfil the promises of the
manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to medicine. A medi-
cinal preparation that has real cura-
tive value almost sells itself, as like an
endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need
of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
a preparation I have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recon-
mend, for in almost every case it shows
excellent results, as many of customers
testified. No other kidney remedy
that I know of has so large of sale.'
According to sworn statements
and verified testimony of thousands
who have used the preparation, the
success of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root
is due to the fact that it fulfils al
most every wish In overcoming kidney
liver and bladder diseases, cOrrects
urinary troubles and neutralizes the
uric acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle Of
Swamp. Root by Parcels Post. Address
DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

STOP BUYING EXPENSIVE
COUGH REMEDIES
Make the Best at Home

Money spent for the old style, ready
made, cough syrups in bottles holding
only to 21s ounces is very largely
wasted, because most of them are
composed principally of sugar and
water. Yet you have to pay the same
price as if it was all medicine. Stop
wasting this money. You can make
better cough medicine at home at one
fifth the cost. Merely go to J. K.
Kruegers Drug Store and ask for 2
ounces (5Oc WORTH of Schiffmann's
Concentrated Expectorant. Mix this
with one pint of graduated sugar and
one-half pint of boiling water, which
makes full pint (16 ounces). This
new, simple, pleasant remedy is qua
ranteed to relieve the worst cough or
cold. Also excellent for Bronchial
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, hoarsenes
and whooping cough. One hottie will
make enough homemade cough
medicine to probably last The whole
family the entire winter. Children
like it, it is so pleasant to take and it
positively contains no chloroform,
opium, morphine Or other narcotics
as do most cough mixtures. Keep it
on hand in case of emergency and
stop each cough before it gets firm
hold. The above druggist has been au-
thoriEed to return the money in every
single case where it does not give
perfect satisfaction or is not found
the best remedy ever used. Abso-
lutely no risk in run in buying this
remedy under this positive guarantee.
