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 Svamp-ROot Is
soon realized. II stands the highest Tor
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
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble Is 50
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.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root 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 DIR. Kilmer & CO., Bingham
ton, n. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

head.

AUTO HITS TEAM

Laurel, April 1s.-Unable to see a
team driven by Lester Briscoe. 1903
Myrtle avenue, yesterday in the heavy
mist, large touring car driven by an
unknown man ran into the team and
seriously injured the driver and killed
one of the mules. The accident &C.
Cured on Main street near Johnson's
hardware store. A crowd quickly
gathered and one of the by-standers
was heard to remark that person
should be punished for not protecting
himself against such an accident. He
said that he knew of a preparation
called "SEE THRU" that could be
bought for a dollar from a concern in
Baltimore, Maryland, called the Balti-
more See-Thru Corporation that
would have prevented the accident as
no matter how hard il should be rain
ing a wind shield treated with this
preparation would always remain as
clear as on bright summer day and
that every person who drove a car
should not endanger life by going
without il. He said that he had driven
over from Govanstown several nights
before and could not understand how
the driver of the jitney could make
such speed on a rainy night until he
told him he always used SEE
THRU. After the driver explained
to him how simple it was to have a
clear windshield and guaranteed to
be so as long as it rained he said he
did not lose any time sending off his
dollar for a box and that he found
that it certainly did the trick. Adver.
