reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises Of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
\ 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. a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate TO recommend. for in
almost every case il shows excellent re-
suits, as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According 10 sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation. the success of Dr.
hilmor's SUamp-Root is due to the fact,
20 many people claim, that it fuhils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrccts uri-
nary troubles and ncutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Despite Post War Contraction United
States Launchings Were
Greatest

The shipyards of the world during
1920 launched a total of 5,S61,000 gross
tons of merchant vessels, a decrease
of almost 100000 tons from the 1919
figure but, an increase of more than
400, 900 tons over the total for 1918,
says a statement issued by Lloyd's
Register of Shipping. Figures for
Germany are excluded, complete re-
turns being yet unavailable.
Despite the sharp contraction in the
American shipbuilding industry dur
ing the past year and the expansion
in the same period in the volume of
British ship construction, shipyards in
the United States during 1920 launch
ed 2,476,OOO gross tons of mercantile
shipping, compared with 2,055,00 tons
for the United Kingdom.
AS the two countries had under way
at the beginning of 1920 a practically
equal amount of work (2,994,000 gross
tons in the United Kingdom and g.
900 tons in the United States) the
fact that American shipyards during
the year launched twenty per cent
more tonnage than British yards is an
indication of the greater speed of con-
struction in this country.
The decline of 100000 gross tons
in the worlds total from the 1919 fig
ure Lloyd's Register points out, is
due to the decrease in the American
shipbuilding program, launchings in
the United States being 100000 tons
less than in the previous year, while
British production showed gain of
more than 100000 tons. Other coun
tries launched q total of $4,000 tons
during 1920, or about 10000 tons less
than in 1919.
In comparison with the pre-war fig
ure the launchings for 1920 through
out the world show a gain of about
rs per cent. The American total is
nine times that for 1913 and other
countries, exclusive of Great Britain,
show an advance of about 20 per cent.
For the first time since the begin
ming of the war, the United Kingdom
last year exceeded it's 1913 figure, the
gain being about 7 per cent The
yearly output of the United States and
the United Kingdom in launchings
