II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that ere ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the 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
sale"
According to sworn statements and
terrified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls 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.-Adv.

| toward the north. His heart leapeC
within him and his soul was full of the
pride of his errand. He ran far ano
fast. But when he reached Asia, and
climbed among the bearded mountains
deep in the holes where there was no
snow he saw CLEANS Of yellow.
"What is this strange color in the
white worldT' said the man. He
stopped and looked. And then--he
went a little nearer. And almost be-
fore he knew 1t, he had the yellow
things in his hands. At once his green
cur turned bright yellow and he cried
out In amazement and fear. Then he
saw that his hands were yellow, too.
And he knew that he could not bear
the great message.
So he stayed in the mountains with
the yellow things, which were grains
of gold. And ever since then he will
forget a great message at times when
he sees the yellow gold in the earth.
When man did not return, the Sun
said: make another cup, little Spring,
and send 1t by white tiger. He is
strong and fierce and will speed for
you"
White tiger took the green cup and
bounded away full of pride. But he
had not gone far before q white deer
sprang heedlessly into him. How
dare you run into mel" cried white
tiger. do you not know that l am
the bearer of the great message" And
with one blow of his white paw he
struck the little deer dead.
Instantly its blood dyed his. green
cup red; and white tiger, knowing
that he could not bear the great mes
sage, fell down and rolled around In
anguish. That is why the tiger is
striped red now. And the red lilies
are called tiger lilies because they look
like him.
LET me bear the great message -
cried the eagle when white tiger
failed to return. Il am greater than
the gray geese and swifter than the
tiger and Drawer than man."
Eagle fed, screaming defiantly, with
the green cup in his fierce beak. For
a while he swept faster than the wind
but all at once, far below him, he saw
a swamp and beasts creeping into it
for the night. Then he could not mas
ter his impulse to stoop for prey. Out
of his beak fell the green cup, IN
needed. And to this day, the swamps
are full of great fleshy green stems
that grow high and long 70 blOssOm
but never can bear anything except
the strange brown things that we call
cat tails. And the eagles sit gloomily
on dead trees and watch the swamps
ever since.
ALAS !" said the Sun. Little
Spring, we have sent our strongest
and bravest. Who can bear the mes
sage now?"
Let me try" cried little bird very

Il am now able TO eilt three square
meals a day for the first time in two
years." was the emphatic statement
made recently by Joseph A. York,
well-known business man and highly
respected citizen of Portland. Maine.
Il am now sixty-nine years of age,
and in all my life | have never run
across medicine that l consider in a
class with Tanlac. l have just fin
ished my fourth bottle and this medi-
cine has benefited me even beyond my
greatest hopes. Besides gaining six
teen pounds in weight, | have been
built up and strengthened until l feel
all of twenty years younger.
For the past two years l have been
in a miserably rundown condition,
and was compelled a short time ago
TO give up all idea of business as L
was too weak to look after anything.
i was nervous, WORKOUT, had no appe-
tite, and suffered most all the time
with Indigestion. Some days l would
eat scarcely anything; in fact | was
afraid TO eat because | knew l would

ing that ! would almost die. My
nerves were all unstrung and the least
thing would worry me and l never
could get a good nights sound sleep.
In fact | just lost interest in every
thing and was greatly discouraged
over my condition.
1.-THE ordinary treatment failed to
do me any good. and as l had read so
many statements from people | know
here in Portland who had been bene-
flied by Tanlac. l decided to give it a
trial. And now l know for myself
what it will do. for l have simply
taken a new lease on life. / am now
able to look after my work as usual.
and never felt better in my life. l am
able TO eat three hearty meals a day
and everything agrees with me per-
fectly. | eat anything | want and
never feel touch of indigestion.
never thought there was a medicine
that could do me so much good, and
am only too glad to have the facts
about my case given to the public"
