Power of Poise.

POise is power. The man who Is
not master Of himself under all cOndi-
lions cannot feel the assurance. the
power, which is the right of every hui
man being to experience. He is never
sure of himself. and the man who is
never sure of himself Is never wholly
at ease. He is not even well-bred. for
good breeding implies self-cOntrOl un.
der all circumstances.
There is. perhaps. no other thing
which is so conducive to ones physical
and mental comfort, efficiency. happi'
ness and success as calm mind. When
the mind is unbalanced. by anger, ex

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root 10
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is %
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose spplica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two siEea,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer l. Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
