What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BIB RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent theis
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious illness, makes a chemical analy.
sis of the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health sta
tistics, Bright's Disease, which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one
year, in the State of New York alone.
Therefore, it is particularly necessary to
pay more attention to the health of these
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy
is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention.
get swamp Root at once from any phar-
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in
bottles of two sizes-50c and $l.OO.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for

LAW IS HELD CONSTITUTIONAL
SO-CALLED BLUE SKY" STATUTE
UPHELD BY SUPREME COURT.
Means Defeat for Bankers in Their
Fight Against Measure to Prevent
Fraud In Business.

Washington, Jan. 23.-So-called blue
sky laws Of Ohio, Michigan and South
Dakota regulating sale of securities
and designed to bar get-rich-quick
schemes were held constitutional by
the supreme court in far-reaching de-
cisions affecting similar laws in 26
states Justice McReynolds alone dis
scented to the opinions of the court.
May Burden Business.
The court admits that such statutes
may burden legitimate business, but
holds that the interests of legitimate
business are not paramount to the
police powers of states to protect their
citizens from fraud. Federal court in
functions suspending enforcement Of
the laws are dissolved.
The laws do not attempt to prohibit
unwise investments, but give states
authority, through security commits
sions or banking superintendent, to
forbid, within their borders, sales Of
securities believed dangerous.
Model Blue Sky Laws.
The Michigan and South Dakota
statutes were patterned upon the
model blue sky bill drafted by the
national association of attorney gen.
erals whose law is also the model for
the laws of several other states.
That securities are instrumentalities
of commerce and, as such, exempt
from state regulation and subject only
to national supervision, was the prin-
cipal contention of bankers, stock
statesmen, and corporations attacking
the laws.
