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 medicine.
A medicinal 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 Or. KilIner's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend. for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suite. as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that I know Of
has so large g 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 fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address

Schneider volunteered for a place in

There is the barest possible chance

just returned from the Sweeney
