WOMAN ESCAPES DROWNING. Wife of Scow Captain Is Sliding from Broken Stringpiece to Water When Husband Snatches Her from Danger Just in Time. More than a score of passengers on the steamer Horatio Hall, of the Maine Steamship Company, terrortaed early to-day, when the big boat crashed into the plier at Elghty-sixth street and the Bast River, throwing many from their berths and almost demolishing the dock. Capt. William Robinson and his wife, who were asleep on voard the scow Matthew McLane, which was tled up at the pler, were thrown from their berths, It required all the persuasive power of the officers of the Horatio Hall to Quiet the frightened passengers, who rushed from the cabin haif-clad, to learn the serfousness of the collision. For an hour many of them tramped anxiously About the big steamer before they per- suaded themselves that it had suffered no Injury. were Encaped from Drowning. Capt. and Mrs. Robinson were also badly frightened. ‘They rushed from thelr scow to the pler, dressed only in thelr night clothes, As Mra, Robinson stood shivering in the cold the corner of the pler on which she stood started to give way and she slipped toward the water. She screamed in terror, but her husband managed to pull her to a place of safety as the section of the pier sid into the water. The strong current that has always bothered? boatmen at this point caused the accident. The Astoria ferryboat Bowery Bay was crossing the river as the Horatio Hall came down and the steamer signalled that {t would go astern, The engines were stopped and the steamer for a moment seemed al- most at a standstill. Suddenly the Horatlo Hall was seized by the current and carried In toward the shore. Before the engines could be reversed the steamer had crashed into the pier. ‘The cracking of great timbers could be heard for a great distance down the river. Pler Almont Destroyed. The pler was almost wholly destroyed. It was 100 feet long and 80 feet wide, and had been condemned for a long tme It has been used recently for un- loading stone.

Y., Nov, 8th.— Whoever goes to Binghamton, as T did, will tind @ much alive, brisk elty, with beautiful, wide, asphalted streets and charming. residential sec- tions, Its business streets are decked with handsome business buildings and public institutions, but none of them can compare in magnitude and beauty with the new Swamp-Root Laboratory now nearing completion This tall, towering building is the first object that confronts the eye upon alighting from the train at the railway stations. The building itself is remarkable because when finished it will be the finest, most scientifically bullt and best equipped medical laboratory in the world. It was the pleasure of The World to, send a representative to inspect thi: building and from the standpoint of) an architect, scfentist and searcher after tho beautiful, I can say, with warmth, that the trip from New York was well worth while. Thousands and thousands of the readers of The World owe their re- stored health, and the restored health of their friends, to Swamp-Root, the great kidney, Hver and bladder remedy, and I am sure they will be interested in my brief description and the photograph of the new Labora- tory, where, beginning with the new year, Swamp-Root will be com- pounded. The magnitude of the building ts not all. It will stand for centuries, It has the finest of modern steel con- struction, with fireproof masonry and cement arches; not a piece of wood is used in its structure. It is situated on the most central and commanding THE LARGEST AND HOST COMPLETE CABORATORY Ii THE WORLD |site in the city, and has a frontage o 231 feet on Lewis street, 345 feet on ‘Chenango street and 407 feet on Lack jawanna avenue; {ts floor space jamounts to the astonishing area of | four and one-half acres, and 1s to be ; devoted exclusively to the Swamp- | Root business, | The bullding {s eight stories high, built of steel, granite and light col- ored brick, and its architecture is of the most pleasing style. As is the present Laboratory, s0 | will the new one be equipped with the very latest scientific apparatus for the compounding of Swamp-Root. the demand for which has so greatly In- |ereased that the mammoth new Lab- oratory became an absolute necessity. A convenient switch connecting with the main lines of all railroads entering the city runs direct to the (doors of the shipping department. After going through this new strue- ture as well as the present Labora- 'y the writer wis surp ised to see) the immense scale on which Swamp- Root is prepared. | But when an hour later T sat In the offices of Dr. Kilmer & Co, and had, the pleasure of seeing many hundreds ‘of the thousands of unsolicited test!-} monial letters from all parts of the world—letters written by grateful men and women cured Root—I thought these people did just them and asked that their testimo- nials be published, in order that all might know of this wonderful medi- cal discovery. Having scen a little mountain of these letters, each bearlng the im- print of sincerity, no one would won- der that this business has increased as it has, and that the largest and |finest laboratory in the world is need- ed and forthcoming. It may be of interest to our read- |ers to know that they can obtain free |by mail a sample bottle of Swamp- as you and I would do, They sat) down and wrote their thanks for what Swamp-Root had done for {Root by addressing Dr. Kilmer & |Co., Binghamton, N.

KILMER & CO., Binghamton, N.Y, never en Gentlemen — While {t has been my habit or inclination to r ommend remedies the ingredients of which are not all known to me, It seems as if | should make an excep- tion in the ease of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. My experience, so far as I have tested it in my practice, forces me to the conclusion that it ts z |a remedy of the greatest value in all by Swamp-| uric acid, kidney, liver, bladder and other inflammatory conditions of the genito-urinary tract. 1 now take pleasure in prescribing Swamp-Root in all guch cases with a feeling of assurance that my patients will de- rive great benefit from its use, I shall continue to prescribe it In other cases in my practice with the expec- tation of the best results. Very truly yours, NOVEMBER 10, 1902, DR. KILMER & CO., Binghamton: | About two years ago I had a very severe caso of kidney and bladder trouble. The pain in the small of my back was so severe that I could not stand it to stay in one position | more than a moment or two, and was | biged to pass water very often day | nd night, ors without getting relief. Noticing | an advertisement in the TOPEKA bought a bottle. the time I had! finished the first bottle the pain had entirely disappeared from my back. The pain and frequent desire to pass water ceased. However, I continued to take the medicine, using about six bottles in all. That was over a year ago, and I have had no return of the trouble since. ANN ears, Chief Engineer, State Capitol Bldg.

Lorerson ——— Vinton, Iowa, July 15th, 1902. DR. KILMER & CO., Binghamton, N.Y. Gentlemen — My trouble began with pain in my stomach and back, so severe that it seemed as if knives were cutting me. I was treated by two of the best pfysicians in the county, and consulted another. None of them suspected that the cause of my trouble was kidney dis- ease. They all told me that I had cancer of the stomach and would dle, I grew 6o weak that I could not walk Mrs. H. N, Wheeler, of 117 High Rock St., Lynn, Mass., writes on Nov. 2, 1901; “About 18 months ago I had a very severe spell of sickness, I was extremely sick for three weeks, and when J finally was able to leave my bed I was left with excruciat- ing pains In my back. My water at times looked very like coffee. 1 could pass but little at a time, and then only after suffering great pain. My physicial condition was such that I had no strength and was all run down, The doctors said my kidneys were not affected, but I felt certain that they were the cause of my trou- ble My sister, Mrs, C. BE, Little- field; of Lynn, advised me to give Dr. { cured a bottle, and inside of three days commenced to get rellef, I fol- lowed up that bottle with another and at the completion of this one found I was completely cured. My strength returned, and to-day I am as well as ever, My business is that of canvasser, I am on my feet a great deal of the time and have to use much energy in getting around, My cure is therefore all the more re- markable and is exceedingly gratify- ing to me.” Flemington, N, J., March 31, 1902, DR. KILMER & CO., Binghamton, Gentlemen—It is not customary for me to write testimonials regarding medicines, but I feel that it is my duty to thank you, and by so doing tell other sufferers what Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, has done for me, This recommendation will not in- terest people who are well, but is in- tended for those who are trying to obtain better health. Some time ago I read in a paper of a case, Mrs. Gertrude Warner Scott, of Vinton, Iowa, who had taken Swamp-Root with such remarkable success, and belng personally ac- quainted with the party (as I used to live there a number of years ago), I thought I would try it for myself. IT have never been of a strong consti- Kilmer’s Swamp-Root a trial, I pro-! tution and have been troubled a great 4 deal with my back and kidneys. 1 started taking Swamp-Root about six woeks ago. I have taken five bottles I have gained 23 Ibs. and feel better and stronger to-day than I ever did in my life. Our druggist, F. C, Burk, told me Saturday that he has a very large sale of Swamp-Root, the gre kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and Lam glad to tell you I think that Swamp-Root does all you claim for it. Gratefully yours, ott. Clerk, Lake's Hotel. Nil Mr, Plthu Stevenson, a well-to-do and well-known farmer residing at Black Bayou, Post-Office Atlanta, Tex., cured of distressing kidney trouble by the use of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, Under date of Sept. 20th Mr. Ste- venson writes as follows: DR. KILMER & CO., Binghamton, N, Y.: Gentlemen—With my kidneys dis- eased and gravel the size of peb- bles in my bladder I was in constant misery for several years. Like a drowning man sinking for the last time, I was grasping all straws in ‘sight. 1 felt that fate had destined me to go through life a sufferer, and | such a sufferer! All victims of kid-| ney affliction know only too well what that means. I read your advertisement in some, Texas paper in which the virtue of |} Dr. Kiln Swamp-Root was highly recommended by one having uged it, I read the testimonial twice, doubting !t the first time, after which I decided to give your remedy a j trial, | I used two $1 size bottles. After taking the first the gravel began to} loosen. When T had finished the sec- | ond bottle T had no need for the third. My kidneys stopped aching. The misery I suffered before was like | a dream. It left me so gradually that I hardly realized its going, To-day I am absolutely without pain, which as I did before I was taken down with lumbago, nine years ago, MRS. SCOTT. any more than a child agmonth old, and I only weighed ninety pounds. One day my brother saw in a paper your advertisement of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy. He bonght me a bottle at our drug store and I tock It. My family could see a change in me for the better, so they obtained more, and I continued the use of Swamp-Root regularly. I was so weak and run down that it took considerable to build me up again. I am now well, thanks to Swamp- Root, and weigh 148 pounds, and am keepizg house for my husband and trother. Swamp-Root cured me after the doctors had falled to do me a particle of good. Gobi Uirnaderte Everett, Mass., Feb, Ist, 1902. About three months ago I wrote to you for 2 sample bottle of Swamp- Root. I received the sample, and af- ter using it I bought a fifty-cent bot- tle, taking the medicine regularly, I felt 60 much relfeved from the pain In the back, from which I had suffered for nine years, caused by kidney trouble, that I bought a second bott’e | of Swamp-Root. I consider myself | now entirely cured; since I finished the second bottle I have not felt any | pain in the back, and enjoy life again I owe entirely to your wonderful remedy, Swamp-Root. My wife, who was also troubled | beneficial, I cannot speak too highly of Swamp-Root, the wonderful Kidney ~ and Liver Remedy. I had tried so many remedies without their having benefited me that I was all but dig couraged, and was afraid it would not do me any good, but in a few days after taking Swamp-Root I be | gan to feel better, I was out of health and run down generally; had no appetite; was dizzy and suffered with headache IT did not know most of the time. that my kidneys were the cause of my trouble, but somehow felt they might be, and I began taking Swamp- Root, as above stated. There is such a pleasant taste to Swamp-Root, and it goes right to the spot and drives disease out of the system. It has cured mo, anu I cheerfully recom- mend it to all sufferers. MRS, A. L. WALKER, No. 30 Angler Avenue, Atlanta, Ga. Sept. 30, 1902, DR. KILMER & CO., Binghamton: Gentlemen—About three years ago T was suffering from what several physicians pronounced acute indiges- tion, I felt that my kidneys were involved and had my urine tested. The doctors found my kidneys were affected and gave me something for the trouble, I found no relief from iue prescription, and then decided to try Swamp-Root. I took several fifty-cent bottles, and I am glad to say I soon found relief. When I first began taking Swamp-Root I weighed only 135 pounds, and in a little while my weight ran up to 175, where it has remained for nearly two years, I did not realize how bad off I was when I first began Swamp-Root until aboné a month ago, when a friend of mine (physician) met me on the street and was surprised that I had fleshened up and looked so well and strong, as he said when he last eaw me he had given up all hopes of my ever being any better. But thanks to Dr, Kilmer's Swamp-Root. It did wonders for me. Yours very sin- cerely, E. C. MYERS, Waynesboro, Va. I hereby give my full permission to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.
