Il You Need a Medicine

Have yon ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many prouucts tnat 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 10
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, o
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.

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,
80 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.

A negro rookie was on sentry duty
when an officer approached, and the

''That's no way to challenge" said
the officer. "Sing out when you halt

voice. Now, I'll approach again, and
see how you do it."
When the officer got within 80 feet
the negro, keeping time with his feet
