WOMEN NEED
SWAMP-ROOT
Thousands of women have kidney
and bladder trouble and never sus
pect-.iti
W Omen's complaints often prove
to be nothing else but kidney trouble,
or the result of kidney or bladder
disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
Pain in, the back, headache, loss
of ambition, nervousness, are often
times symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don t delay starting treatment. Dr.
Kilmer s Swamp-Root, a physiciah's
prescription, obtained at any drug
store, may be just the remedy needed
to overcome such conditions.
Get a medium or large si*e bottle
immediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & c.Vj., Blnghamton,
1.1 , a bottle. When
writing be sure and mention the
Harrisburg Daily Telegraph.
Why Uncle Sam
Turned Teetotaler
V \
The unanimity with which our State legislatures have hastened to ratify the Eighteenth
Amendment to the United States Constitution is a source of wonderment to' many of our repre
sentative newspapers. Thus to the New York Tribune it seems "as if a'sailing-ship on a windless
ocean were sweeping ahead, propelled by some invisible force," while the New York Times explains
the mystery by suggesting that "prohibition seems to be the fashion, just as drinking used to be."
The nation-wide sweep of anti-liquor sentiment is accounted for byother well-known publica
tions in more positive terms. The Pittsburgh Gazette-Times declares that: the abolition of intoxicants
is dictated by "the deliberate judgment" of the American people and the, Toledo Blade terms the
movement "as remorseless as the rise of tides in the sea," yet the New York World characterizes it.
as "a most emphatic denial of local self-government."
