1t You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

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 fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a 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 DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root,
preparation | 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 has so large
SALE
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the prepare ton, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments: corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

very misleading because Of the condi.
tons which it fails to contemplate. 1t
is true that there are many road sur
faces composed of earth or earthly ma
terial which do not become very muddy
under traffic, even during long rainy
seasons, and since such surfaces usu-
all! tend to harden very rapidly as
soon as the weather clears up. it may
be desirable to drag roads of this kind
Immediately after rain. Such roads,
however, would not ordinarily need to
be dragged after every rain, because
of the strong tendency that they nat
urally possess of holding their shape.
On the other hand, many varieties of
clay and soil tend to become very
muddy under only light traffic after
very moderate rains, and, it is evident
that roads constructed of such ma
terials could not always be success
fully dragged Immediately after rain.
Sometimes, in fact, it may he neces-
sary to wait until several consecutive
clear days have elapsed after long
rainy spell before the road is sufficient
~ dried out to keep ruts from forming
almost as rapidly as they can be filled
by dragging.
Well-constructed sand-clay topsoil
roads should not often become muddy
after they are once well compacted.
They may become seriously rutted,
however, under heavy traffic, during
rainy weather, and are almost sure to
need dragging several times each year.
Such roads should ordinarily be drag
ged as soon after rain as prac-
ticable as otherwise the surface soon
becomes dry and hard, so that it is
necessary to do considerably more
dragging in order to fill the ruts. Fur
thermore the material which the drag
moves will not compact readily unless
it contains considerable amount of
moisture.
Gravel roads can be effectively MAIN
tanned with a road drag only when the
gravel composing the surface is fine
grained and contains 4 considerable
quantity of clay earth. Gravel road
surfaces in which this condition pre-
walls not infrequently get badly out OF
shape during wet weather, and may
sometimes require considerably more
attention than well-constructed sand
clay topsoil roads. The time for drag
ging gravel roads is unquestionably
while they are wet. In fact. the best
results are sometimes obtained by do
inc the dragging after the road has be-
come thoroughly soaked and while it
is still raining.
In general, it may be said that the
best time to drag any type Of road is
when the material composing the sur
face contains sufficient moisture to
compact readily after it has been
moved by the drag and is not suiil-
GENTLY wet for the traffic following the
drag to produce mud.
