OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason. is PLAINTIFF article. did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative vslne almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited. to those who are minced of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example Dis Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that l know OF
has so large sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, SO many people claim, it fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

down to dinner in a French restaur
ant. He held up the fork, and
"Camerade. camerade," he said.
"Ah, out, out" said the waitress,
dashing off to the kitchen, to return
with another fork.
Here was a poser for the soldier. He
