ONE OF TWO WAYS.

ne bladder was created Tor one
purpose, namely, receptacle for the
urine, and as such il is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way Is from I'M
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment CT other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the bad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often. by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex.
traordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail. Mention The COLUMBIAN
and send your address to DR.. Kilmer
q Co, Binghamton, N. Y. The pro-
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this offer.

at this stronghold Of the company
failed to 60 to work and number Of
those who did go into the pit have
promised to quit as soon as they clean

prevented them from staying out. The
miners are satisfied with the progress
they have made. They claimed that
the offending miners were nearer to
suspension than they had been since
the strike was inaugurated. The mec
are jubilant over the work they have
