a row. while Cleveland is dropping
three out of four to Detroit.
Today the two leading teams are a
game and a half apart. If the Sox gain
three victories over st. Louis, Cleve-
land could lost one to Detroit and still
win the pennant, lase two and tie Chi

If 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
forgotten? The reason IS plain-the
article did not fulfil the promises
Of the manufacturer. This applies
more particularly 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 have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every case
it shows excellent results, as many
of my customers testify. No other
kidney remedy has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
due to the fact, so many people
claim, that it fulfils almost every
wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle
CT Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Ad-

CALOMEL LOSING
OUT IN SOUTH
Mr.. Dodson, the "LiverT
Man, Responsible for
Change for the Better

Every druggist in town has no
ticed a great falling off in the sale
of calomel. They all give the same
reason. Dodson's Liver Tone Is taxi
ing its place.
''CaIomel is dangerous and people
know it," Dodson's Liver Tone is
personally guaranteed by every
druggist who sells 1t. A large bot
tie doesn't cost very much but If 1t
fails to give easy relief in every
case of liver sluggishness and con-
stipation, just ask for your money
back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach Or constipat-
ed bowels. It doesn't grippe or cause
inconvenience all the next day like
violent calomel. Take dose of
calomel today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't
