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.
1t is physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t 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. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.

wing, the membrane being stretched
between that and the rather long hind
legs The wing finger was the fourth
digit, and the remains of the. first
three digits. reduced to small claws,
can easily be, recognized on the upper
border of the wing.
The head is a most extraordinary
part of the animal. All pterodactyls
have large but lightly constructed
skulls with a long beak, which in
most of them is set with sharp needle
like teeth. The Pteranodon. as its
name indicates. is toothless, with a
great, sharp-pOinted beak somewhat
like that of az stork or a kingfisher,
and very light and delicately-cOn-
structed skull with an enormous COM
pressed crest stretching backward
from 1t, almost equal to the beak In
length.
The neck is moderately long and
strong, as would be needed to carry
| the large head, but the body looks
absurdly short and small and the tail
is mere little stub. The backbone
between the shoulders is all consoli-
dated into a single piece (called the
notarium), just as the backbone be-
tween the hip bones Is consolidated
In most animals into a single piece
called the sacrum. The upper end of
the shoulder girdle (scapula) is sock
eted into the side Of the notarium.
the lower end (coracoidD into the
sternurri on the under side of the
body This affords 2 very strong pur-
chase for the wings, stronger even
than in birds, which sometimes have
the vertebrae partly consolidated like
'notarium. but never get so far as
to have the scapula socketed into 1t.
Great Spread Of Wing. =
The breastbone or sternum is not,so
unlike the breastbone of bird. II Is
q broad FIAT plate with a high crest
projecting forward and downward in
the middle line, to. which the prinl
cipal wing muscle Is attached. In
this specimen, unfortunately, the
sternum was missing altogether.
The ribs are very imperfect, short,
and little curved. Probably a. con-
siderable part Of the body basket vas
cartflasinous, SO that It has not been
preserved as a fossil. The ribs in
this specimen were scattered, and no
attept has been made to bring them
back to their proper articulations.
They have merely been placed near to
their proper location.
The extent and limits Of the wing
membranes as shown on the specimen
are theoretical No pterodactyl Of
this group has been found In which
they are preserved. They have been
found. indeed, more or less perfectly
preserved, in some of the smaller spe-
cies from the Solenhofen slate Of Ba-
varia. notably the long-tailed Rham-
phorhynchus and the short-tailed
Pterodactylus Scaphognathus, etc.
But these more ancient kinds Of flying
reptiles are much smaller and more
primitive, and so different from the
great Pteranodon In the proportions
of skill and other parts that they
may have been very different in the
wings as well. The best evidence for
reconstructing the wings is the form
and proportion Of the bones and the

probable purposes TO which they could
be applied. 1t is difficult to see how
sufficient width could be obtained
for the stretched membrane of the
wings unless it were extended down
along the sides of the hind legs, as
Doctor WillistOn believed, and not
merely along the side of the body,
as Doctor Seeley supposed. Then If
the membrane was stretched on the
outer side of each hind leg. it must
also have been stretched between
them and up to the tail, In order to
take the strain off the legs. 1t ma
also be supposed that the membrane
stretched from the neck out on each
side over the shoulders as far as the
"pteroid bone" as this would have
some obvious mechanical advantages.
In life all the principal bones Of
pterodactyls were thin. hollow cylin-
ders of an exceptionally hard and
fiaky quality of bone. Moreover. there
are, In some of the bones at least.
openings corresponding to those in
birds, which serve to allow air to cir
culate within the hollow cavity of the
bone.
Soaring Like Bird.
This is not the only point in which
pterodactyls resemble birds. They
have also a much higher type of brain
than ordinary reptiles, the cerebellum
or hind-brain is large, and. as in birds.
the optic lobes are widely separated.
1t is also probable, in the opinion Of
some high authorities, that-like birds
they had rapid circulation of the
blood and continuously high body tenn
perature. and were far above the rep
lillian stage in this respect. Indeed the
high type Of brain and the active life
of a flying animal could hardly be
maintained save through high type
of circulation such as mammals and
especially birds possess.
l can picture the pteranodon soar
ing as the great sea birds do today,
sweeping tirelessly across the broad
glittering surface of the Cretaceous
seas, patrolling them from dawn to
dusk In search of such unwary fish or
pelagic mollusks as might be summing
themselves at the surface and come
within reach Of the sudden sweep
from above. Generally, imagine, he
would avoid actually coming down
upon the surface Of the water, for
that would involve at least great
deal of difficulty in rising again into
the air-indeed It Is not easy to see
how it would be possible for the giant
Pteranodon to rise from the level sea,
save through aid Of the wind. At
night he would perhaps return to the
shore many miles distant, and hang
himself up on some favored roost-
tree or rocky point-anywhere that
would be securely out of reach of the
dinosaurs and other fierce reptilian
beasts of prey which lived upon the
land.
Whether the pterodactyls laid eggs.
how these eggs were Matched and
cared for, we have no means of know
ing. Nor do we know much about
their origin and evolution. Perhaps
these really were the last survivors
perhaps they are but one type of a
varied world of flying reptiles whose
forms and habitat the rocks have not
yet revealed to us.
