Don’t keep on suffering from those
awful chills—that horrible shivering
and shaking—that burning fever.
Go to your druggist or general store
this very day and get a bottle of
Swamp Chill and Fever Tonic—the
famous, never-failing remedy that’s
been relieving the suffering for years
and years.
For the small sum of 60 cents you.
get a sure-shot remedy that quickly
drives out all the malaria—and drives
it away to stay! That’s why so many
leading physicians prescribe Swamp
Chill Tonic as the best malaria rem-
edy there is.
Swamp Chill Tonic contains no
’ calomel. It is tasteless, easy to take,,
and has no unpleasant after-effects.
No purgative has to be taken with
it—the medicine itself acts gently and
agreeably upon the liver and bowels.
Get well immediately, by getting a
bottle of Swamp Chill Tonic today.

You are aware, of course, that dur-
ing the last ten years, Goodyear has
been able steadily to increase the
amount of mileage built into its tires.
Do you realize, also, that this in-
crease has been accomplished with-
out extra cost to the user—that
Goodyear Tires are priced no higher
today than in 1910?
In no tire in the Goodyear line is
the declining cost of mileage more
evident than in the present 30x3-,
