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 plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine
A medhinal 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, Take for
example DR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation ] 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 know of
has 20 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 fulils 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
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
Large and medium size bottles for sale

Chinese Like Automobiles.

American automobiles are rapid
ly growing popular in China. Their
use is limited not by the desire of the
wealthy natives to possess them, but
by the total lack of roads outside of
II few city districts. Many of the
wealthy Chinese own several motors,
and in Shanghai 1t Is said to be diff
cult to maintain taxicab business be-
cause the natives charter ali the cars.
The Chinese have also established sew
eral motor driven bus lines. Chinese
chauffeurs are said to be the coolest
and steadiest drivers in the world, but
poor mechanics.

Not Bread Alone.

A Japanese newspaper, in emphaslz-
ing the gravity of the responsibility
resting on Japan and America on ac-
count of the fact that the world &c.
tivity is shifting from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, says that these two great
nations are bound to exchange more
and more of their products and de-
clares that they must come to agree on
high principles. MAN cannot live by
bread alone" quotes the editor-which
is perfectly true; but, as the old
darby remarked, observes an exchange,
