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 plain-the article did not fulfill
he 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 DR.. Kilmer'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
yerifed testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
20 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
harry troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Ewamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Q Large and medium size bottles

WHEN TIE CENTURY BEGAN
Mode of. Reckoning Is Simple, Vet the
Matter Is Frequently Subject
of Dispute.

The Twentieth century began on the
first day of January. 1901. In COM
mon usage the First century means
the years A. d. / to 100; the Second
century the years 1O1 to 200; and the
Nineteenth century the years A. ID.
1901 to 1900. The Fifth century be-
fore Christ was 500 to 401 B. G. A
century begins with the beginning OF
the first day in its first year. and does
not end until the close of the last day
in it's hundredth year. The mode OF
reckoning is often confused with the
common mode of stating the age of
person. A person born at the begin
ming of the Christian era would be
called one year old during his second
year, that is during the course OF the
year two; he would be called two
during the year three; and forty DUR
ing the year forty-one, etc. !

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
and The FLU
First Step in Treatment Is q Brisk
Purgative With Calotabs, the
Purified and Refined Calomel
Tablets that are Nausea
less, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experiences
that no medicine for colds and innu'
snza can be depended upon for full ef'
feetiveness until the liver is made thor
oushly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new, nausea
less colonel tablets called Calotabs,
which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects Of the old style calo'
mel. Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go long way
towards preventing influenza and is one
Of the most important factors in en-
abling the patient to successfully with
stand an attack and ward off pneu'
monia.
One CaIotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow Of water-that q
all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight
est interference with your eating, pleas.
ure or work. Next morning your cold
has vanished, your liver is active, your
system is purified, and you are feeling
fine, with hearty appetite for break
fast. Druggists sell Calotabs only in
original sealed packages, price thirty
i've cents. Your, money will be cheer
fully refunded II you do not find then
delightful. (Adv.l
