SWAMP ROOT SAVES
KIDNEY SUFFERERS

You naturally feel secure when you know
that DR.. ,Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy, is alb
solutely pure and contains no harmful or
habit producing drugs.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence, prescribed by DR. Kilmer
many years ago, is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
Swamp Root is scientifically compounded
from vegetable herbs. 1t is not stimu-
liant and is taken in teaspoonful doses. 1t
is not recommended for everything. Ac-
cording to verified testimony it is natures
great helper in relieving and overcoming
kidney, liver and bladder troubles.
If you suffer, don't delay another day.
Go to your nearest druggist now and get
a bottle. All drug stores sell it in two
,izes-ffty cents and one dollar.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper ADV.

Movement convention here, says the

just as he was going to begin service
in the church and asked him to marry
them. He said if they would wait until
after the service he would give them a
public wedding
Aftar the benediction he announced:
"Now, will those persons wishing to
be married please come forward" 1t
is recorded in the story that eleven
women and one man answered to the
call.
An Offset to that story is one told by
DR.. Alonzo r, Petty of woman who
was before judge asking for di-
vorce. The Judge leaned over the desk
and said to the woman:
Madam, how long did you know
this man before you were married?"
