Kilmer A Co., Binghampton. N. Y.
Gentlemen: About one year ago
two of my children suffered badly
from weak kidneys and diabetes;
their urine was very bad and they
would have severe spells of dizzi-
ness, and were all run down in
health. 1 was Just about discourag-
ed#! I tried several remedies and fi-
nally a doctor, but they did not seem
to Improve. I knew of a friend who
was taking Swamp-Root for kidney
trouble with good results, and I de-
cided to get some for the children.
I noticed there was some Improve-
ment after they nad taken two large
bottles, and continued to give It to
them until they had taken a half doz-
en bottles and were well on the road
to recovery. I think Swamp-Root
has done more for my children than
any other medicine I have tried and
1 recommend It to one having chil-
dren who suffered as mine did.

severe pains In the back and hips.
Was treated by a pbyalclan, but with-
out any benefit. I noticed some
Swamp-Root advertising and resolv-

four bottles I was completely cured.
Have not suffered any pnln at all
since and can recommend Swamp-
Root to anyone suffering from kid-
ney trouble. Sincerely.

Dr Kilmer A Co.. Binghamton, N.
Y. Dear Sira: I have derived auch
great benefit from the uae of your
remedy, Swamp-Root, that I believe
it to be the moat Important for the
public to know ita worth. For the
paat ten years I have been the moat
miserable of men. Did not know
what the trouble was but had to ur-
inate very frequently both day and
night; was all puffed up generally.
Could not aleep more than a couple
of hours at a time, and was greatly
distressed after eating a mea! and
was about worn out. I had tried
nearly everything I could see adver-
tised and hear of, without helping
me to any great extent, until finally
In October last at Rlpan. Wls., I pur-
chased a one dollar bottle of Swamp-
Root and commenced taking It ac-
cording to directions and I followed
that with another bottle and exper-
ienced such great relief and benefit
from same that I purchased five dol-
lars worth at Huntsville, Ala., and
continued Its use and am now taking
it, but In smaller doses and twice a
dav In place of four tiroes a day and
believe by the time present supply Is
used up I will be entirely well. I am
feeling better now than for ten years
past. Can eat and sleep first class,
In fact I am feeling so good that I
cannot resist telling you about It.
You are at liberty to publish this
testimonial should you wish.
Very Respectfully.

Dr. Kilmer A Co.. Binghamton. N Y.
Dear Sirs: I write today to the pub-
lic that your Swamp-Root cured me
of kidney trouble. I was almost
past going; having spasmodic spells
with my kidneys that were breaking
down my constitution.The best med-
ical aid was employed and they pro-
nounced my trouble as alkili In the
kidneys, but were unable to do me
any permanent good.
I took four bottles of Swamp-Root
and became a well man. This was
six years ago and I have had no trace
of the trouble. Yours for suffering
men,

—Dr. Kilmer A Co., Binghamton. N.
Y. Gentlemen: About four years
ago I suffered from kidney trouble
and rheumatism In my hips. The
pain across my back became so se-
vere that I could hardly straighten
up and could not walk without drag-
ging my feet. I would urinate fre-
quently and would have to rise two
or threo times during the night,
causing me to suffer from loss of
aleep. And with the pain I was all
run down and began to lose flesh. I
saw Swamp-Root advertised and
bought one bottle to try it. After
taking It I felt better and could
aleep all right at night. I continued
to take It until I had taken four
large bottles. I wns entirely free
from any pain In the back and began
to gain In weight. I always rec-
ommend Swamp-Root to my friends
as I think tho cure in my case re-
markable.
Yours very truly.

Mall Carrier’s Experience.
Plountville, Tenn.—I have been a
rural letter carrier for over five
years. Some two years ago I was
taken with severe pains In my back.
I used medicine from my family
Physician for several months without
any benefit. A friend, Mr. J. D.
Nelson, advised me to try your
Swamp-Root, but I had no faith In
It. I continued to grow worse and at
last decided to try this remedy and
bought of Long Bros, a flfty-cent bot-
tle which gave me great relief. I
then bought two one-dollar bottles,
which 1 can truthfully say have com-
pletely cured me.
Had It not been for Swamp-Root.
T would have beeu compelled to quit
the rural free delivery service.
I advise all mall carriers who get
pains In their back that Swamp-Root
will cure them.
I was so bad that very often my
wife would have to help me to arise.

Results After Using.
Boston. Ga., Jan. 13, 1909.—Dr.
Kilmer A Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
Gentlemen: Some time ago l was
troubled with kidney trouble. I
thought for some time I was suffer-
In with Diabetes. I had severe
pains In my back and hips. A friend
recommended Swamp-Root and 1 de-
cided to give It a trial. I obtained
a bottle from a druggist and after
taking a few doses, felt relieved. Af-
ter taking several bottles the pain
was entirely gone and I have not
suffered the slightest since. I can-
not be too enthusiastic in my praise
of this wonderful medicine and It
gives me great pleasure to give my
testimonial in regard to Its merits.
R. J. ROUNDTREE,

ture.
We have sold Mr. Roundtree
Swamp-Root and have also sold It in
a number of cases for kidney trouble
and always with perfect satisfaction.

Edgefield, Tenn.—Dr. Kilmer
Co., Binghamton, N. f. Gentlemen:
I hardly know how to express my ap-
preciation for the good your Swamp-
Root has done me. I had been
greatly troubled with my kidneys,
and with pain In the back; also with
what the doctors termed Inflamma-
tion of the neck of the bladder,
Sometimes my back would get In
such ah ape that I was almost 'help-
less. I had tried sevoral doctors and
medicines to no good effect, and fin-
ally I noticed In some paper where
Dr. Kilmer proposed to scud a sam
pie bottle of his kidney medicine,
Swamp-Root, free by mall. I sent at
once and received promptly a sam-
ple bottle. After taking it I found
It did me good. I then purchased
two bottles from our merchant, Mr.
W. J. Ellzer. After taking the med-
icine I felt like a new man, and each
day rode five miles to teach school.
You are at liberty to use this letter,
or refer anyone to me, as I will al-
ways be glad to tell them what
wonderful remedy this Swamp-Root
is. Mr. James Ivens, of Saunders-
vllle, Tenn., is taking it with good
results. Yours very truly,

Results It Has Proved.
Dothan, Ala., Jan. 21, 1909.—Dr.
Kilmer A Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
Dear Sirs: Have been Buffering
more or less from kidney trouble for
the last five years and was Induced
to try your Swamp-Root. Am happy
to say, or give you testimonial, that
it has cured me. I am a traveling
salesman for Messrs. Colgate A Co.,
New York, and am always traveling
on the road. Drinking the different
waters affected my kidneys.
Your respectfully.
SAMUEL WOLF.
A Prominent Mason.
Jackson, Tenn.—According to my
experience, I do not consider there
Is anything to equal Swamp-Root for
kidney affection.
Twice It relieved me when I was
completely helpless.
The last time I was traveling in
Texas, when my kidneys become af-
fected, and for ten days I suffered
excrulclating pains, accompanied
with severe chills. Several years
previous, having been relieved of a
similar attack, I naturally sought
relief as before from Swamp-Root.
After using four of the large Blze
bottles, I was completely restored
and went on my way rejoicing and
praising Swamp-Root. This was
three years ago and I have had no
Indication of a return of the afflic-
tion.
J. C. SMITH, Jr., 33 Mason.
Fully Satisfied.
Waycross, Ga., Jan. 5th. 1909.—
Dr. Kilmer A Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
Dear Sirs: During last October
suffered from my kidneys.
I consulted my physician, who pre-
scribed for me, but his treatment
did not benefit me. After reading
some Swamp-Root literature, I decid-
ed to give it a trial. After taking a
few doses, I felt somewhat relieved,
and after two one dollar bottles had
been taken, I had no pain and was
completely cured. I have not had
the slightest pain in my back or hips
since. From my own experience, I
can cheerfully recommend Swamp-
Root to any one suffering from kid-
ney trouble.
Youra very truly,
SIMON MARTIN.
Mr. Martin conducts a carting and
transfer business.
Kvory mail brings many unsolicited testimonials from peoplo all over the
United State* and foreign lands, expres-ing heartfelt gratitude for what
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root has done for them.
Do not let anyone sell you some other medicine to take the place of
Swamp Root—if you do you will he disappointed—insist on getting what
vou ask for—there is nouthor medicine aa good as Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root.
If You Need A Medicine You Should Have The Best.
ftwamr>-Ro»t Is not recommended for everything, but If you have kidney, liver or bladder trouble or
obliged to go often during the day and get up many times during the night, have smarting or Irritation In
passing or heart disturbance due to kidney trouble, Swamp-Root will be found Just the remedy you need.
lkm’t be Minted__For example, when you ask for Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the Great Kidney, Liver and
Bladder Remedy don’t allow any druggist, drug clerk or store keeper to persuade you Into buying something
else In its place ’ Every time he succeeds In selling you a worthless substitute he makes more profit, but
you are humbugged nt the expense of your health.
NOTE___Every render of The Weekly Democrat-Gazette who has not tried Swamp Root, the Great "Kidney,
Liver and Bladder Remedy, may address Dr. Kilmer A Co., Binghamton, N. Y. and receive a sample bottle
free by mall.

DICK ALLEN’S
NEW STORE
Dick Allen, who recently moved
into new and enlarged quarters on
the east side of the public square,
with hla clothing and shoe store, has
contracted for nermanent advertis-
ing In both The Dally Courler-Oa-
aptte and Weekly Democrat-Gazette.
Hla action, In this respect, is in har-
mony with the most successful mer-
chants of the country at large. True,
some merchants have succeeded un-
aided by publicity, but practically
all notable successes in any Mae of
merchandising, are believers In
newspaper advertising aa the most
economical, most certain, signified
and the quickest means of reaching
the public eye and ear known to as-
tute merchants, professional men or
urtiaans. This la pre-eminently a
newspaper reading age. And it la as
obviously desirable, and more so, for
a merchant to keep hla business be-
fore the eyes of the public at large,
In his trade territory every day and
week of the year, aa It Is to keep hla
name on the sign board over hla
stoic dcor for the comparatively
smaller per cent of the people in
that same trade district to see, who
happen to pass hurriedly along his
way. Newspaper advertising Is a
necessary, but profitable Item of ex-
pense—the same as rent or clerk
hire. Rent provides the location.
Judicious, persistent advertising
provides the customers, and the
clerks serve the customers when
they are attracted to the store to pur-
chase. Dick Allen Is a native son
of Collin county. He learned the
clothing business In detail in the
school of years’ of experience aa
clerk In McKinney. Several years
ago, he embarked in the exclusive
clothing and furnishing business for
himself. Hla business has steadily
expanded. He sought and obtained
larger and better quarters, added a
full line of men’s and boy’s shoes to
his clothing stock and 1b now the
owner of one of the largest exclus-
ive stores of the kind in all North
Texas. Mr. Allen is vice president of
the McKinney Commercial Club and
can always be found with his should-
er to (he wheel In every movement
having for its object the advance-
ment or good of his home town and
people. Keep your eye on Dick Al-
len’s “ad” In this paper every day
and week for the next twelve months.
