II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Or. KiImer's SWamp-Ro

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, az 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, q
preparation I 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 30 large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's SwampRoot is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulflls almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address DR..
Kilmer & Co., Bnghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

MELLON HELPS STOCKS
REACH NEW HEIGHTS
'Ey the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December 29.-Stock
and commodity markets displayed a
buoyant tone this week with a
marked expansion in public interest.
Speculation in stocks received con-
siderable stimulus from the lowering
of call money rates after the mid
month requirements had been met
and Secretary MELONS reported in
dnrsement OF the rise in stock values.
The industr.Sl average was elevated
to the highest level since the peak
of the postwar boom in 1919 and
the railroad average to the highest
figure in seven years.
