II 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 irore particularly to 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 DIR. Kilmer's swamp Root, a
preparation I 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 8
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands owho have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
20 many people claim, that it ful6lls 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 sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. X,
and enclose ten cents; also mention TINS
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

While Sonora is, to all effects and purposes, al
though unrecognzed such by the other nations Of

ary order adherents of De la Huerta firmly and con-
sstenty refuse to admit they constitute republic;
they also denounce statements made by newspapers
in Nogales to the effect that the underlying purpose
of the of relations with the central govern
ment was to lay a groundwork for annexation by the
United Stated. These two points, hackers of the new
movement in Sonora declare of vital Importance to
their future They maintain that their move was
purely, persstenty contested to prevent the viO-
lation of their rights under the constitution of the
Republic of Mexico through the sending of federal
troops into the state against the demand of Governor

themselves and the central government That such
