Wisconsin Druggists Experience
With DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root

am Of the opinion that Dr.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root enjoys the best reputation
and has met with more success in the
treatment of the diseases for which il is
intended, than any other medicine on the
market. Swamp-Root sells and pleases;
and in gravel it il recommended as one Of
the best medicines. / am so well pleased
with the demand for Swamp Root that I
never fail to give it my personal recon-
mendation, feeling that it will do what
it claims.
Very truly yours,

Sokelven. He is over one hundred
years old Until very recently he was
puttering with some kind of work ev-
cry day, but now he stays in bed most
of the time. In his palmiest days he
! was a man of tremendous strength.
He could pick up a barrel of herring
and lug it away with ease. But his
greatest experience was the way he
once assisted in killing a christmas
hog" 1t was q great big lobster,
winch would not stand still so that the
stunning blow could be landed on his
forehead. Then il was that Ola took
hold of the hog by the ears and held
him tight by sheer force. But not long
enough. The hog broke loose just as
the man with the AK was ready for
business. The hog ran away. But
Ola held hogs ear in each land !
This happened long ago. Now Ola
feels that he has had his share of
this world. and he would be glad to
move on TO the next.
