pOrtuniy for getting nch over night that have

you an opportunity to actually become nch be-
fore your money is turned over by joining the

deep test drilling at 1000 feet; also, the Black
Diamond, now down ZOO feet and dozen of
Others, any one of which may become gushers any
day.
There has never before been within my grasp
such world Of quick. potential wealth. There
has never been such absolute assurance that prop
erty will grow into values running into the millions
as is offered by these leases Look at this: Fifty
acres offsets the deep Watkins test now down
1000 feet. twenty-five acres more offsettng the
Watkins deep test. twenty-five acres again off

Why DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND

and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp Root and start

Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
