Such medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp

The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
Swamp-Root is scientifically compound

1t is not stimulant and is taken In
teaspoonfuh doses.
It is not recommended for everything.
According to verified testimony it is

A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need medicine, you should have
the best.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp Root is what you need, you will
find it on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

To be possessed of head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter of using little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, fiuffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fine and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

and hundreds of thousands among the
Irish.
DR.. Henrick Albert, chief financial

guise of American enterprises" said
Bielaski. Most of his cargoes wound
