THOUSANDS have KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND never
SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance
Often Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch
with the public, there is one prepare
ton that has been very successful in
overcoming these conditions. The
mild and healing influence of Dir. Kill
mer'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 Com
panies. in an interview of the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large ma
jority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug
stores in bottles of two sizes, medium
and large.
However, IL you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton.

that bad conditions during the past

The turning forces in this move to-
ward prosperity is the 1924 building
program.
Perhaps the most widely recognized
authority on building is James B. Car

magazine Mr.. Darlington says that
the 1924 building program means
billion and a half for new homes,

Another man was IN. town recently
looking for some easy money. He

the merchants three or four times
what the Herald would charge for the

His money might have clinked nice in
Onr till but the Herald does not con-
slider it business honesty to partici-
pate in a scheme for over-charging

The usual game is to work one man
against another and get them to fail

You are a business man. Your bust
ness represents the biggest business
in the state of Wisconsin. | wish to
offer this as a suggestion: Right now
at his first of the year, take little
time, and figure up what you have.
How many cows, hogs, chickens,
horses, sheep and any other form OF
live stick, put valuation on them per
head. How' much hay and other feeds,
value of this per ton Of bushel. Ma
chinery do likewise. Figure value OF
land, investment in buildings and all.
Household goods and in fact every
thing. You should know how much
yol/ investment stand you. Start the
year right, know what your invest
ment is and be able to show at the
end of the year 1924 if it has been a
profitable year or not. Guess work
never made any business success.
Guessing has ruined many business.
