II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t IL that 80 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
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to 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 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 testify.
NO other kidney remedy has so large a
according to sworn statements and
Verihed testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
hiimer'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

 BYCITY RECORDER
Manager of Hotel In Which Verbal Assault Occurs
 WithdraWS Complaint

Montgomery. December 16.-The case against Charles H. Allen, pub fisher of the Advertiser. charging disturbance of the peace when he denounced Dr. P. A. Baker. national superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, was dismissed when 1t was called in the recorders court this afternoon. The manager of the hotel, in the lobby of which the yer bal arraignment was publicly made, said that since Dr. Baker did not re- sent the verbal assault and there was no fight, he would withdraw the complaint which he had made.
 The arraignment of Dr. Baker, in the presence of a considerable crowd followed a law enforcement meeting held Tuesday afternon at a Mont gomery church, which was addressed by Dr. Baker and former Superinten- dent of Law Enforcement John k. Kramer. In his address Dr. Baker severely criticised "15 per cent of the federal judges of the country" whom he said did not cooperate in law en- forcement. Senator Underwood and certain American newspapers. He charged that the Montgomery Adver- tiser had accepted. in 1915, $100, ,000 from the brewers of the country.
 Encountering Dr. Baker the next day in a hotel, Mir. Allen introduced himself and denounced in strong terms the statement made by Dr. Baker, and Dr. Baker for making it. He declared that a banking loan from a Philadelphia bank, on which interest had been regularly paid, and which had now been paid, had been falsely distorted by the superinten- dent of the Anti-S Saloon league. Since the superintendent of the -Sa loon league had again made what he termed "a slanderous charge" he said the controversy had become "a personal matter" In the denuncia- tion of pr. Baker, MT. Allen urged him to rise from the settee on which he was sitting and afford personal satisfaction. Dr. Baker did not rise during the verbal altercatfon, which lasted for nearly five minutes, and said: I'm not in the fighting busi- ness"

Baker declined to rise from carrying out a threat ito slap his jaws" or Knock him down If he would stand on his feet" No at tempt was made to prosecute the publisher of the Advertiser, but the hotel manager. following the public incident, thought that it should be investigated.
