OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative 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, s"Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that I know Of
has so large sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, SO many people claim, it fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address
DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

humor departed.

any use for you, or any of your outfit !

you agreed to accept 1T. You are going
to discover before you are through with
me that Fergus Mccain is not quite as

remained a good chance of controlling
the others.
Once we succeeded in discovering
the hidden store of liquor and getting
it overheard, and with Mccain safely
secured, the danger element would
certainly be greatly reduced. But was
Mccain really secured? 1 could never
hope to conceal the fellow, to keep
him hidden. The narrow confines of
the ship rendered this impossible.
Dade and the boy Moon would be GER
tain to carry the news of his imprison-
ment forward in spite of any threat.
/ began to suspect that Mccain under
lock and key might indeed prove a
greater danger in the end than he
would If left free to roam the deck.
The knowledge he now possessed that
this ship actually belonged to the very
man crippled by his pistol shot would
only serve to render the fellow more
venomous. Nor could determine his
feelings toward Vera; yet if he once
gained ascendancy on board, with such
ruffians as Liverpool and White in
control, the position of the helpless
girl, alone and unprotected, would be
desperate indeed. mol 1 would hold
on to the man and then rough it out
with the others.

streamed through the glass of the COM
