KIDNEY REMEDY
HlGALY RECOMMENDED

There is no medicine which we handle
chat gives such good results as your
swamp Root. Many OF our customers
have informed Us at different times that
they have derived great beneht from its
use.
There was one case in particular which
attracted a great deal Of attention IN this
neighborhood early last Spring, as the
eentleman's life was despaired OF and two
doctors treating him for liver and kidney
trouble were unable 10 give him any re-
lief. Finally a specialist from st. Louis
was called in but failed to do him any
good. / az last induced him TO try your
swamp Root and after taking it for three
months, he was attending to his business
as usual and is now entirely well. This
case has been the means of creating an
increased demand for your Swamp-Roos

Very truly yours,

I wish to add my testimony to the
wonderful curative powers of the Shi-
var Mineral Water For a number of
years my wife has been a sufferer from
indigestion and nervous debility, and
her condition had reached such a stage
as to BATTLE the skill Of our most emil
nent physicians. Her extreme nervous
ness and heart troubles at times were
alarming and she had become almost a
nervous wreck. The latter part of last
May she began using the Shivar Water.
which she has continued to this date

Greenville, S. c., Feb. &c. 1914.
For over two years, folio wing nerv-
Gus breakdown, I have suffered with a
liver so torpid that ordinary remedies
were absolutely powerless. Under
such circumstances. I came to Shivar
Spring, and began drinking the Water.
Upon advice however, the first night I
took a laxative: the second night a
milder one Since then I have taken
none at all. The effect Of the water
has been remarkable-its action on my
liver most marked, and my health and
spirits greatly improved. 1 am salts
fed that the laxative, followed by the
Water, was the proper treatment in my
case. My condition is now perfect.

THE CRISIS

gans, or both, fail to respond to drugs
prepared by human skill. In fact drugs
seem to do them about as much harm
as good for their systems rebel against

physicians call stubborn" and
''chronic' for the reason that they
persist in spite of drug treatment. I
hO not refer to incurable diseases such
as cancer and consumption, but to that
larger class of functional disorders
which we meet every day, where the
organs of digestion and elimination are
impaired.
For this class of cases our best ply
sicians and our big city specialists send
their wealthy patients to the mineral
springs where, in the great majority of
cases they are permanently restored
OF decidedly benefited. But what about
the poor man who has not the money
or the busy man or woman who can
not spare the time to spend several
weeks or possibly months at a health
resort? Shall circumstances deny them
the restoration to health which Nature
has provided? Read my answer in the

already told their story to Jeffries over
the telephone from Calabasas, and Mrs.
Jeffrtes had thrown open her house to
receive Nan. Weary from exposure,
confusion and hunger. Nan was only
too grateful for refuge.
On the evening Of the second day De
Spain was invited to join the family ut
supper. In the evening the Jeffrieses
went down town.
De Spain was talking with Nan in
the living room when the telephone bell
rang In the library.
