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 IL
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
Ionishing statement that one reason why
% many applicants for insurance are re-
iected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people. and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However. if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-AdV.

at the same place on consecutive days.
AS neither hears well, their brief

slipped and this is what was over
heard:

Jews lake Up Earmina.

When the Federation of Jewish
Farmers in America recently held its
twelfth annual convention in New
York city the fact was brought out
that there are more than 10000 Jews
who own their own farms in the
United States. The total value of the
land amounts to more than $J0.000.-
600. while the mechanical equipment
is worth an additional $10,000,0OO.
Most of the Jewish farmers are for
eign-born citizens who have achieved
their success through personal thrift
and industry.
