Excellent !" he said. Then we can

I'll telephone Aunt Elsie" Ellen
added thoughtfully. She went into
the nursery where Lizzie had been
reading to Tommy and sent the girl
out.
Lizzie was downstairs not more
than fifteen minutes. Ellen looked
fearfully at her face when she came
up.

you'll keep him absolutely by himself,

sighed in sick foreboding. There

luncheon and Lizzie's brought up

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-ROot

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants Tor insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Ro is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be cure
