II Is that so many products that are
extensively advertised, all at once drop

The reason is plain-the article did not

This applies more particularly to
medicine. A medicinal preparation that
has real curative value almost sells It
self, 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, Tor
in almost every case IL shows excellent
results, as many Of my customers tes-
tify. No other kidney remedy that l
know OF has so large a sale"
According 10 sworn statements and
verified testimony OF thousands who
have used the preparation, the success
OF DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-ROot is due to
the fact that, so many people claim, IL

There is absolutely no spirit OF crltl-

are the bodies advocated:
