If your typewriter stalls, or your

1t to glide. you have but to go around

pocketbook and sends you away, per-
haps sadder, but hitting on all your

But whoever you are and wherever
you live you have one piece of ma
chinery that plays an important part
In your existence, a stupendously i'm
portant piece of machinery, and may
be you have never thought of whether
it is operating properly or not. And
If 1t isn't you have had no idea of
where TO get a repairman. You have
a town or a city. Maybe you live
right in the middle of it, or maybe
you live out in the country and just
come in one In a while. But you use
that town or city as a place to do
your shopping, or to obtain your
amusement, or an education, or to OBJ
tain a livelihood.
Well. is your town working right,
or is it humping along with a fiat
wheel? Is it giving you the maximum
Of service, or does it fall you in half
the ways it might serve you?
When 1t has finally been determined
which is the primary need of a given

II 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 arc soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF 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 DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I nave 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 30 large .

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
