Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance
Often Rejected

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 for insurance are re-
jectedSis because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and tie
large majority of those whose applca-
tions 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, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure
and mention this paper.

Art and the Hoddock,

On one of the piers in Portland an
old fishmonger told the, legend of the
queer markings on the paddock. Just
abaft the fish's gills are two dark
blotches, like bruises, one on each
side. And from each Of these marks
runs straight dark line back toward
the tail. The paddock, said this fish,
erman. was the fish with which Christ
fed the multitude Though that sounds
unlikely. This so annoyed the devil
that he tried to avenge himself on the
species. He seized one, holding 1t
tightly (hence the bruise mark), but
1t slipped away. The DEVILS finger nails
made the long scratches on each side I;
since when all haddocks carry that
pattern. And beauty. in any art, Is
just as elusive as that paddock. It
cannot be nabbed between the thumb
and finger of any manifesto.-Chris-
