Locomotive Engineer Has
- Remarkable Experience
I have been thinking that word from
me would benefit those who may be
suffering as I was before I began tak
ing your 'Swamp-Root, the great kid
ney, liver and bladder remedy. I am
a locomotive engineer, employed on
the Tyrone & Clearfield Branch of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Three years
ago I was afflicted with kidney and
bladder trouble so bad that I was com
pelled to lay off duty from my engine
and was In the care or-two doctors.
However their medicine did not bene
fit me. One day, I noticed your ad
vertlsement, to send name and ad'
dress for a sample bottle of Swamp
Root. At this time my trouble had
reached a serious stage. I sent for
the sample bottle and in three days
received a small bottle of Swamp-Root
which I took according to directions,
and by the time I had taken the con
tents. I could pass water more freely.
I was so pleased with my experiment
that I sent my wife to the drug store
of W. H. Mllick, Phlllipsburg, Pa., and
secured a one-dollar bottle . I contln
ued taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
until I was entirely cured. Now when
ever I feel any pain or soreness after
being exposed to bad weather or hard
work, I take a dose or two or swamp
Root. I cannot recommend this rem
edy too highly, especially to brother
engineers who are more or less trou
bled with their kidneys (more than
any other class of men.)

Unsafe to Laugh at Others.
Dr. A. R. Taylor, a foremost west
ern educator and for many years pres
ident of the Kansas State .Normal
Bchool in Emporia, tells this story:
"As I was walking downtown one day
just a few steps ahead of me was a
fine old gentleman in sun nat ana
broadcloth who had a most absurd
poster pinned on his back, contrasting
oddly with his dignified bearing. Just
then around the corner came a young
fellow with an even more ridiculous
poster pinned to his hack. Being ig
norant of his own decoration, the
youngster immediately began laugh
ing at the older man.
So I fell to moralizing, deducing
something like this: 'Could we but
see ourselves as others see us, we
would often change the theme of our
discourse.' Then as I stepped into a
butcher shop the proprietor called out
to me: 'Why. what's this tne boys
have been pinning on your back?' "

sas told of the meanest neignoors tnai
ever lived, or, at least, tnat was tne
opinion of Mrs. Smith, who lived next
door.
Smith was going downtown one
morning when he ran across a friend
and the conversation eventually
drifted to a new family that had
moved into the house adjoining the
former's. k
"I am sorry they came there," said
Smith, referring to the new neighbors.
"They are simply driving my poor wife
crazy."
. "That's hard luck," commented the
friend, sympathetically. !'What do they
do have a domestic scrap every
night!"
"Yes," replied Smith, ''but that isn't
exactly what's driving mother bug
house. You see they fight in some
foreign language and she can't under
stand a word ther say." Philadelphia
