II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1T is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are 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 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 a
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,
so many people claim, that it fulfIls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

OLD CUSTOMS SEEM CURIOUS
Common Plates and Cups Were Once
Shared-Fought for the
Biggest Share.

Noble families in England in the
Middle Ages shared common plates
and cups, used fingers instead of
forks, licked their plates, wiped their
teeth on the tablecloth, and scram-
bled for the largest portion, says the
Detroit News. Books on etiquette is
sued in the Fifteenth century pointed
out that these things were not good
manners. The art of cooking in the
Middle Ages fiourished, however,
cooks excelling at artistic and rich
confectionery.
Dancing in medieval times was true
to its name. Dancers really moved
with nimbleness and agility instead
of slowly posturing round the room in
the manner of modern dancers. The
noble and his family and servants
lived and slept in the great hall of the
castle, with next to no privacy. A
better state of things evolved gradual
ly, more rooms being added and more
windows put in, insuring greater Sc
clusion for the lord and his family.
