NATIONAL FLOWER OF FRANCE
Iris, or FIeur-de-Lis Was Originally Called the FIeur-de-Louis-V
 for It's Medicinal Purposes.

The iris, or the f1eur-de-lfs, is the national flower of France. It was originally called the fleur-de-Louis. The ancients valued it highly for me dicinal purposes. A powder made from the root, mixed with honey, was used for broken bones, and it was also con- sidered beneficial for snake and SCOT pion bites. A valuable perfume and oil was also obtained from the iris.
 The legend as to how the flower re- ceived it's name goes back to the Greeks Iris was the messenger of the gods, and the rainbow was dedi- cated to her. On her birthday, Juno invited all the flowers to celebrate the occasion. They all came in their prettiest frOcks. Among them were three sisters, gorgeOusly dressed in gowns of purple, yellow and red, and who were unknown. Since they had no name, they were called Iris, because their gowns were the color of the rainbow.
 Since Iris was the messenger of the gods, and conducted the souls of dead women to their final resting place, the Greeks decorated the graves of their women with purple iris.
 This flower was widely used in old Egyptian architecture. It signified power and eloquence to the Egyptians, and was, therefore, carved on the brow of the Sphinx, and upon the scepters of their kings.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
 SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched. with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-- cine.
 It is 6 physician's prescription.
 Swamp-Root is 6 strengthening medi- cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad- der do the work nature intended they should do.
 Swamp-Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on its merit and it should help you. No other kidney medicine has so many friends.
 Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. r., for 1: sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.
