Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
Il il that 20 many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason il plain-the article did not fulhii
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine:
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itsef, 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, q
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, tor IN
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits. as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has 30 large
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success OF Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
90 many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri'
nary troubles and neutralizes the urit
acid which causes rheumatism.

that was at first light and gradually

Carol was playing magnificently. She

back. her eyes dilated. The scene had
arrived in the play where Britton had
gone too far, he had shown his hand,
and Carol terrified, was eager to draw
back.
lie came around the table to her, and
suddenly she was in his arms. his lips
were against her hair. And suddenly,
astoundingly. Carol was aware Of the
fact that his touch awakened nothing
in her: she was as far from him in
spirit as she was in the part she was
playing.
The act came to an end and the cur
tain dropped. The applause was deaf
cning. Alone on the stage, Britton
turned to Carol. quickly.
You'll let me see you home to-
night?"
Carol turned to him. Her eyes wore
bewildcred look. She was struggling
to regain her spirits, to forget that
feeling Of detachment that had swept
over her. At that moment Britton
meant no more to her than stranger.
How ridiculous that she should feel this
WY, but. OF course. the feellnS was only
temporary.
She forced smile and nodded her
head quickly. Then the curtain was
raised and she was bowling to the ap-
plauding audience. She was conscious
now that she could see the rows Of seats
that stretched beyond the glare Of the
footlights. No longer was she shut in
alone with Britton. The glamour of 1t
had faded. >
Carol hurried off the stage without
speaking to Jervis. and, once In her
dressing room making her change for
the last act. excitement took hold of her
again. She laughed aloud in her relief;
What had been the matter with her?
The feeling must have been due to the
fact that she had thrown herself 81
intensely into the part. but she was all
right now, and she had promised TO let
Britton see her home!
