A Feeling of Security

You naturally feel secure when you Snow that the medicine you are about to :ake is absolutely pure and contains no harmful or habit producing drugs.
 Such a medicine is Dr. Kilmers Swamp Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
 The same standard of purity, strength and excellence is maintained in every bottle of Swamp-Root.
 It is scientifically compounded from vegetable herbs.
 It is not a stimulant and is taken in teaspoonful doses.
 It is not recommended for everything.
 It is natures great helper in relieving and overcoming kidney, liver and blad- der troubles.
 A sworn statement of purity is with every bottle of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
 If you need a medicine, you should have the best On sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, if you, wish first to try this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. kilmer X Co, Binghamton. N. T., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

DODSON WARNS
 CALOMEL USERS
It's Mercury! Attacks the Bones, Salivates and Makes
 You Sick.

There's no reason why person should take sickening, salivating calo- mel when a few cents buys large bot tie of Dodsons Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for calomel
 It is pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as sure ly as calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and can not salivate.
 Children and grown folks can take Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per fectly harmless.
 Calomel is q dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick and nauSeated to- morrow. Don't lose q days work. Take a spoonful of Dodsons Liver Tone in stead and you will wake up feeling great. No more biliousneSS, constipa- tion, sluggishness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your drug gist says if you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts better than horrible calomel your money is waiting for you. Adv.

 CTS Endorsement.

Houston, Mss.-Mr. J. A. Trenor, n well-known planter of this place, re- gently related his experience in using Thedford's Black-Draught. I don't believe there is a better liver medicine made" said Mir. Trenor. 'I use it for headache, stomach disorders and torpid liver.
 Tt is not bad to take, does not leave a constipated condition, as so many of the liver pills and medicines do. It does its work and leaves you feeling like a new person"
 Thousands of others have found Black -Draught as helpful as Mir. Trenor describes, and valuable rem edy for derangements of the liver stomach and bowels. It is purely vegetable, having an active effect upon the bowels, gently stimulating the liv- CT, and helping to increase the flow of bile.
 BlacE-Draught has been found to assist in the digestion of food. and relieves constipation in a prompt and normal way.
 On account of Black-Draught's long. proved merit and immense popularity, many limitations are being offered for sale For your own satisfaction if will pay you to insist upon the genuine and be sure the package bears the name "Thedford's Black-Draught"
