BEDS IN SWEDEN

in Europe Are Reported
by Government.

sulphur ore and copper ore ever dis
covered in Sweden, and the second
largest copper deposits in Europe,
are the subject of an exhaustive re-
port just published by Axel Gavelin,

which was detected recently by the
use of electrical instruments, lies in
latitude 65 north, near Kusfors sta
ton. Tests already made by Mr.. Cav
elm show that the copper ore contains
as high as 10 per cent of copper, the
average run being estimated at 4 per
cent, while the sulphur content of the
sulphur ore is as high as Az per
cent. 1t is estimated that this new
mining field will yield annually 1900
tons of copper and 100000 tons of sui
phur ore. The possibility of getting
SO large supply of native sulphur is

Mr.. Gavelin also reports the discov-
cry of zinc arsenic, gold, silver, lead
and anthony, but the veins of these
metals are believed to be too small for
profitable exploitation. Research is
continuing and further important dis
coyeries are probable.

If You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-

reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill

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 fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney.
