BITTER TASTE

Pills and Strong Medicines Made
This Lady's Troubles Worse,
But Thedford's Black Draught
Improved Her Appetite and

Nancy, Ky.--Mrs. Cora Waddle, q
resident of this place, gives out this
statement: II have taken Black
Draught and found 1t to be the best
liver medicine 1 ever used. 1t has
Just been fine for indigestion. sour
stomach and a bitter taste in the
mouth.
1 used to get bilious and constipated
and had to take something. Pills and
other strong medicines would only tear
my stomach up and leave me In a
worse fix than before taking. I began
to have sick headache.
After learning of Black-Draught 1
took it and was cured of sick head
aches. One or two doses a week, or a
pinch after meals, kept the bowels
open and took away all bile. 1 have a
good appetite, due to my use of Black
Draught."
If your liver is not acting properly
you may suffer from such symptoms
as headache, biliousness, constipation,
Indigestion, etc, and unless relief is
obtained serious trouble may result.

Article XIX

To those colonies and territories which
as a consequence of the late war have
ceased to be under the sovereignty of the
states which formerly governed them and
which are inhabited by peoples not yet
able to stand by themselves under the
strenuous conditions of the modern world,
there should be applied the principle that
the wellbeing and development of such
peoples form q sacred trust of civilization
and that securities for the performance
of this trust should be embodied in the
constitution of the league.
The best method of giving practical eff
feet TO this principle is that the tutelage
of such peoples should be entrusted to
advanced nations who by reason of their
resources, their experience their
geographical position can best undertake
this responsibility, and that this tutelage
should be exercised by them as manda-
tory on behalf of the league
Certain communities formerly belonging
to the Turkish empire have reached
stage of development which their exist
ence as independent nations can be pro-
Visfonally recognized subject to the rem
dering of administrative advice and as
sistance by mandatory power until such
time as they are able to stand alone. The
wishes of these communities must be
principal consideration in the selection OF
the mandatory power.
There are territories. such as southwest
Africa and certain of the south Pacific
isles, which, owing to the sparseness of
their population, or their small size or
their remoteness from the centers of
civilization, or their geographical continu-
ity to the mandatory state, and other cir
der the laws OF the mandatory state as
integral portions thereof subject to the
safeguards above mentioned. in the inter
estS or the indigenous population.

If You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-

reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.

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.. Kilmer'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-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has so large a

According to 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,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

GOING BACK TO NATURE
BY DIR. w. LUCAS.

People get sick because they go
away from Nature. and the only way
20 get well is to go back. Something
grows out of the ground in the form
of vegetation to cure almost every i'll.
Some of these vegetable growths are
understood by man, and some are not.
Animals, it would seem, know what to
do when they are sick better than
men and women. Observers have
noted that a sick horse, dog or cat
will stop eating food and seek out
some vegetable growth In the field or
yard, which, when found and eaten,
often restores appetite and health.
Haven't you seen these animals do
this very thing yourself?
DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. " long since
found the herbs and roots provided by
Nature to overcome constipation, and be
had these vegetables collected and made
up Of Mayapple, leaves of Aloe, root OF
Jalap, into little white sugar-coated pills,
that he called DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
You must understand that when your in
testines are stopped up, poisons and de-
cayed matter are imprisoned IN your sys.
tenn, and these are carried by the blood
throughout your body Thus does your
head ache, you get dizzy. you can't sleep,
your skin may break out, your appetite de-
clines, you get tired and respondent AS
a matter of fact, you may get sick all
over. Don't you see how useless all this
is? All that is often needed is
a few of DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
which he has I -ced in all drug stores for
your convenience and health. Try them
by all means. They are probably the very
thing you need right now.
