If You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best Ilave you ever stopped to renson why It Is that so many products that are ex tensively advertised, nil at once 'rop out of sight and arc soon forgotten? The reason is plain the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This spplies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who arc in need of it. A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case It shows excellent re sults, ns many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has bo large a sale." According to sworn statements and verified testimony, of thousands who have uoed the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills al most every wish In overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corrects url n..rv troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.

According to the United Stntcs con- bus of 1020, there nre In this country nt this time 3,170,000 widows and only 1,471,300 widowers.

The main reason for this condition of affairs Is that tho wife Is generally several years young er than tho hsuhand, and then, too, nt tho nges above fifty tho mortality rnto for men Is much higher thnn for women.
