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 ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
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 re-
suits, 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 success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

COMMON ANCESTOR TO BLAME
UnsightIy apple" Is Legacy Be-
queathed to His Posterity by
Old Father Adam.

We all shave it in" for Adam for
shutting to our faces the gates of the
Garden Of Eden. But many Of us,
though we may not know it, bear a
particular resemblance to this COM
mon ancestor that puts another chip
on the shoulder. For it is generally
conceded that an adams apple" is
no aid to beauty. And besides making
Of our Paradise a cold, bare world, it
is Adam who inflicted upon us this ad-
ditional burden. When our common
progenitor took the fatal bite that for
ever doomed the rest of us to exist
ence by the sweat of our brows, a
piece of the fruit is supposed to have
lodged in his throat and stuck there
in his children's children unto the nth
generation. And that is why the
slight proturberance that some people
have at the front of the throat is
called adams applet" Speaking of
ancestry, some of us carry about on
our persons unmstakabie proof Of our
ancient lineage.-Chicago Journal.
