DON’T BE MISLED.
We desire to call the attention of our
readers to tho fact that a few drug
gists In this locality, on account of cut
prices on drugs, have adopted the prac
tice of trying to sell something elso
when a well-known preparation of cs
tabllshcd reputation Is called for.
For example, when you ask for Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, tho great Kid
ney, Liver and Bladder Remedy, don’l
allow any druggist or drug clerk tc
persuade you Into buying something
else In Its place. Every time he sue-
ceeds In selling you a worthless sub'
stltute he makes more profit, but you
are humbugged at the expense of your
health.
Swamp-Root Is prepared only by Dr.
Kilmer & Co. Laboratories, Bingham
