Joke on Admiral

When the new swimming pool at the
Naval academy was opened. Admiral
Henry B. Wilson issued orders that
women were not to be permitted to
swim in it, The officers wives and
their friends were to use the old pool.
But the word was passed about--and
it reached the ears Of the admiral
that a certain young woman had been
in the pool, not once, but frequently.
And the admiral started an investiga-
ton. It was quickly called off when
he found the young woman" in the
pool was none other than Violet Ray
a means used to cleanse the water.

Swamp Root Fine Medicine

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in 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-
tions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine will do for them.
By enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive
sample size bottle by parcel post. You
can purchase medium and large size bottles
at all drug res.-Advertisement.
