# 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, q
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
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
Klmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
30 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 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
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

London. April 10.-Reports that

which the advice of the United
States was not solicited. were con-
firmed by an authoritative Serbian
quarter this morning.
The proposals are characterized
by Serbian partisaEs as the most
acceptable yet advanced. but the
announcement that they have been
definitely accepted by the Italo-
Serbian conterees is said to be
premature.
There are very good grounds
for believing that an end will be
put to this tangle at the San Reno
conference next week., said the
Associated Press informant. "The
British proposals can not be ac-
copied intact. but there are indi-
cations that the two nations most
intimately interested are prepared
TO make what small concessions
are required in order TO render
them N utualiy satisfactory"
