_ Cambridge, Maine.—" I suffered ter-
ribly with pains and soreness in my
Bides. Each month
I had to go to bed.
and the doctor tola
me I simply had to
go under an opera-
tion before I could
get help. I saw your
advertisementin the
paper, and I told my
husband one day to
Eet me a bottle of
ydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Com-
pound. Before I took
the third dose I felt better. I took it
four times a day for two years, getting
better all the time, and now for four
years I don't have any pains. After
taking the medicine for two years I had
another rhild—a lovely baby girl now
four year* old—the life of our home. I
do praise this medicine. It is a Godsend
to women who suffer with female
troubles and especially for pains at the
periods. I surely was very bad once,
and I know that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound saved me from an
operation." —Mrs. JosiE M. Shaw,

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best-
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
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, as like
an endless chain system the remedy >•
recommended by those who have bee'«
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
j wle."
According to sworn statements und
verified testimony of thousands who hnve
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due'to the fact,
►o many people claim, that it .fulfills 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., Binghamton, N. Y., and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
Large and medium size bottles for sale
at all drug stores.—Advertisement.
Hear first unci speak afterwards.
The housewife smiles with satisfac-
tion us she looks at the basket of

'ertlsement.
Don't put things off—put them over.

than a home inlettted with rats, mice, cock
