Your grocer has the lemons and any

YOU with three ounces Of orchard white
for a few cents. Squeeze the juice OF
two fresh lemons into bottle, then put
in the orchard white and shake well.
This makes a quarter pint of the very
best lemon skin whitener and complex

freckles, tan, sallowness, redness and
roughness disappear and how smooth
soft and white the skin becomes. Yes
It is harmless, and the beautiful results

RELIABLE PRESCRIPTION
FOR THE KIDNEYS

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
It is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi'
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test OF years;
It is sold by all druggists on it's merit and
it should help you. No other kinney meoi-
cine has SO many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. T., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
