dealers pay an intra-State rate Of $3.50

Obliged to pay for coal. or to the prices
above minimum for which 70 is con-

varies as much as 60 cents a gross ton,

# You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out Of sight and are soon forgot
temp The reason is plain-the article
did not fulfil the promises OF the
manufacturer. This applies more par
tieulsrly 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.. Kilmer's swamp
Root. a preparation I have sold for
many years and never hesitate to rec
ommend, for in almost every case IL
shows excellent results, as many Of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy has so large a sale"
According TO sworn statements and
have used the preparation, the sue
cess Of Dr. kilmer's SWamp-Root is
due TO the fact. so many people claim,
that Il fulfils almost every wish in
