WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

IL is possible to talk too much, to
talk recklessly and carelessly. TO use
your tongue in such a way as 70
imperil happiness and foment strife
and destroy confidence.
Loquacity is not a sign Of senss
THE shadows murmur, but the
deeps are dumb" Speech is one OF
the greatest gifts God has bestowed
upon us. but it is a gift that should
be exercised with due regard to
facts.
Joshua showed that he was an
astute strategist and an accurate d.
agnostician of human nature when
he ordered all conversation discon
tinued during the seven days Jericho
was being besieged.
You can kill a thing by wild and
foolish talk. You can ruin a splen-
aid project by discussing its difficult
ties. You can blacken character by
whispering suspicious.

There are people who, when they

for utterance. but these ideas are
not assembled. There Is a conges-

the brain.
A dumb devil is a sad affliction. Il
is bad not TO be able to speak, but 1t
might be worse. II is worse when
the gift CT speech is SO misused and
abused that your neighbors wish you
had been born with a dumb devil.
