Il 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 PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
medicinal preparation that has rea.
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 "TaIe for
example DR.. kilmer's Swamp-R. 1t, a
preparation l 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 test. y.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements a.,
verified testimony of thousands who ha ye
used the prepare ton, the success of DR..
kllmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp.Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.: Kilmer & Co... Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.

NOT HARD TO MAKE CHOICE
Probably Lester Could Have Deter
mined Without the Appeal to
His Physical Feelings.

Two men passed away. One had
been born, and in due course admitted
tc the bar, soon ran for office, was
elected continuous Hon. until at
last he went to his reward, such as 1t
was. And the local paper gave him an
obituary as long as your arm.
The other man followed in the foot
steps of his brawny sire, and became
maker of harrows. He was indus
.trious and honest. and for years the
Hilligoss harrows which he whacked
out by hand were known nearly all
oTer the county as reliable utensils.
By-and-by he, too. passed on. The
paper announced his demise in a few
lines and spelled Ills name wrong.
Now, tell me. Lester, which of those
men would you rather have been? Do
not say the former, or I'll slap your
jaws for you and not let you 60 to the
picture show, either.-Kansas City
