Swamp Root a Fine Medicine

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Womens complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irritable
and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tons.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine viii do for them.
By enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer d
Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive
sample size bottle by parcel post. You
can purchase medium and large size bottles

purchasers of the Vegetable Conn
pound reports that SO out of every 100
have been benefited by its use.
This is a remarkable record and
proves the dependabilityof the medi-
cine for the relief of the troubles
women often have.
For weak and rundown conditions
80 common after childbirth it is well
adapted. It strengthens and tones
up the system and restores normal
health.

DIFFICULT MATTER
TO IDENTIFY AUTO
Stolen Car Usually Taken to
the Factory and Different
Parts Scattered About.

By ERWIN GREER President Greer Col
lege OF Automotive Engineering, Chicago)
If YOU were asked whether you could
identity your own car under any set
Of circumstances your impulse would
be to return an unqualified and indig-
nant affirmative. The police of our
city would disagree with you Just as
unqualifiedly.
AS matter of fact, most car own
ers depends upon Identification on
some scratch on the body, some bro
ken screw in the chassis, or some 9th
err equally uncertain factor. They do
not stop to consider that the big
manufacturers are turning out models
in 10000 lots that differ from each
other in not the slightest discernible
degree. BY the time a successful thief
has run a stolen car through his "serv-
Ice station" it would puzzle the most
careful owner on earth to identify his
vehicle
Identification Not Convincing.
An instance in point is illustrated.
Arriving at the police station car
owner found a small group of other
owners who had assembled to try and
identify the same car. The hopeful
owner had a number OF marks by
which he felt confident he could prove
his ownership There was bent
screw. a dent in one fender, scratch
of peculiar shape on the dash. The
car with which he was confronted
was undoubtedly of the same vintage
as his stolen one, hut unhappily 1t was
painted rich uItramarine blue, in
stead of the dark green that had
graced his vehicle The most earnest
scrutiny failed TO disclose any of the
distinguished marks on which he had
relied A slight chipping of the new
coat of enamel revealed the fact that
1t had been put on over a previous
coat of dark green that our friend had
described but two of the other assem-
bled owners had put in bids for dark
green cars and eventually one Of them
managed to identify the car by chip
in the gearset housing. The identiti-
cation was not particularly convincing,
but in the absence of anything better
it served to give the car TO the owner
who had been able to describe the i'm
perfection.
