Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly IN direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful IN overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmer's SWamp-Root il
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record OF success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, IN
an interview Of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common TO the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sails
at all drug stores IN bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Americas Victory coiors.

Those in America who choose the
seasonal cOlors for the dyers and
dressmakers, have united upon a rich,
deep blue and a bright cherry as the
victory colors for 1919. It is not the
red that we associate with conquerors,
observes a correspondent, it is too light
and thin in its tones; but it Will IN
doubtedly prove a success, as it is an
excellent CONTRAST to the victory blue
The choice OF these colors is confined
to America We do not know that
France viii launch victory eolors, but
it is to be supposed that if she does,
she will use the horizon blue of the
French uniform or the blue Of the
French flag. She Is not much given
TO this kind Of work. It may be that
she will not celebrate victory through
fabrics.

Weekly Health Talks
a Single Remedy Often Cures
Many Diseases
By VALENTINE MOTT, n. D.


It is almost impossible to give a list OF
the endless diseases that follow indigestion.
Perhaps a whole column in this newspa-
per would be required to print them all.
You eat to keep alive--to supply blood and
flesh and bone and muscle and brain. It
is easy to see that if your food is not di-
gested and taken up by the delicate or
gans and distributed where it is needed, a
disease of some sort is sure to come. Dys-
pepsia Is common symptom, and 30 are
liver complaint, loss of flesh, nervousness,
bad memory, dizziness, sleeplessness, no
appetite. Many times, when neglected, in
digestion results IN coughs, throat diseases,
catarrh, bronchitis and even more danger
GUS things. And all these disorders arise
because the food is not properly digested
in the stomach. It is plain even to a
child that relief and cure are to be had
only by setting up a healthy condition in
the stomach. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
Y, many years ago combined a number
of vegetable growths into a temperance
remedy for Indigestion and called II
Golden Medical Discovery. It is probably
the most efficacious discovery ever made
in medicine, for the list of people all over
the world who have had their countless ills
overcome by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery makes an amazing total of thou
sands.
l know of no advice better than this:
Begin a home treatment today with thi:
good vegetable medicine. It will show
you better than I can tell you what it viii
do. When taking Golden Medical Dis
covery you can rest assured of one very
important thing-it contains neither alec
hol nor opiates. There is nothing in i
but standard roots and herbs that posses
curative properties of high order. 4
safe medicine is the only kind you cal
afford to take.

You can turn gray, faded hair beau
tifully dark and lustrous almost over

old famous Sage Tea Recipe, Improved
by the addition OF other ingredients,
are sold annually, says a well-knOwn
druggist here, because it darkens the
hair so naturally and evenly that no
one can tell 1t has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have a surprise await
ing them. because after one or two
applications the gray hair vanishes
and your locks become 1uxuriantly
dark and beautiful.
This Is the age OF youth. Gray
