Elephant Strong as Forty Men.

horse is about as strong as five
men, and an elephant is as strong as
eight horses. And while we admire
American ingenuity, let US not forget
that for centuries the elephant has
been the important draft animal in
India The elephant is really the
nearest approach to living one-man

trating horse power as is done by trac-
tors is not so new after all. We've
simply invented a docile mechanical
elephant that can stand this climate

WHAT THE DOCTOR KNOWS
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi d.
tion of the kidneys,
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes chemical an
alysis of the patients urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing their
work properly, the other organs can
not readily be brought back to health
and strength
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's Disease, which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in one year, in the State OF
New York alone. Therefore, it is par
ticularly necessary to pay more at
tention to the health of these import
ant organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder
remedy.
iDe mild and healing influence OF
ms preparation, in most cases, is soon
realized, according to sworn state
ments and verified testimony of those
who have used the remedy.
When your kidneys require atten-
uon, get Swamp-Root at once from
any pharmacy. 1t is sold by every
druggist in bottles of two sizes-5OC
and $t00.
However, if you wish first to test
tHls great preparation send ten cents
