Old GentIeman's Memory Also Wen.
Back to the Time He Spent
in Hot Brazil.

Among the members of n firm hav-
ihg South American connections are
the JOnHeS, father and son. Recently
Jones Junior, who had just returned
from Brazil, was relating some rather
tall stories of life down there, when
he asked:
Now, during that awful heat, what
do you suppose II was. aside from the
temperature. that made it impossible
for us To take our afterdinner SiestaT
"Why, what?" asked a gullible sis
ter.
THE peculiar noises" continued
Jones Junior. You see, the coffee
was popping on the trees. The sun
was so hot the grains just roasted be-
fore they were picked"
Whcreupon dad yawned.
Rather warm down there" ne adj
mitted "But when | was in Brazil
you couldn't sleep nights. Every once
In while there would sound the most
extraordinary noise that ever fell upor
human ear"
"What were the sounds, dadT'
asked Jones Junior. WITH Il grin"
The rubber trees were stretching
themselves" answered dad.

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 PLAINTIFF 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 DIR. kilmeT'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 fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles ard neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp Root by Parcels Post Address
DIR. 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.
