Samuel Woodworth, tho son of a modest Massachusetts farmer, was born In Scituate, that state, January 19, 1785. While the family were poor and had no luxuries, their lot was no worse than that, of the ordinary New England family, and they lived in comparative comfort. ■While his life was a succession of ambitions, attempts and failures, his fame rests secure on his faithful portrayal of the old fashioned well and weather-beaten well-sweep, universally to be found on the farms of that day.. While living in New York City, on Duane street, he came home one July day, nearly overcome with the heat, and with nothing to drink but the tepid water of the city—ice being unknown in those days in the summer months —he exclaimed to his wife: “What would I not give this moment for a long draught from the old oaken bucket hanginng in my father’s well!” "Samuel!” replied his wife, “wouldn’t that be a good subject for a poem?” Forthwith he sat down — the thronging recollections of his childhood crowded thick upon him—and that charming idyll of tme bu■olic New England sprang into sheath'ess life and fame. The music is said o have been adapted from an anient Scottish melody by Frederick Smith. Woodworth died in 1852. This song, like so many of the leart lyrics of an elder day, is found n the famous song collection called

Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer’# Prescription, Overcame# Kidney Trouble. It is now conceded by physician# that the kidneys should have mom attention as they control the other organs to a remarkable degree and do a tremendous amount of work in removing tho poisons and waste matter from the system by filtering tho blood. The kidneys should receive some assistance when needed. We take less exorcise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lame back, annoying bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brick-dust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kidneys require help Immediately to avoid more serious trouble. An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. There is nothing else like it. It is Dr. Kilmer’s prescription used in private practice and it is sure to benefit you. 4 Get a bottle from your druggist.
