1T Is EASY TO TELL.

People are not apt to get anxious a bout
their health soon enough. Ii you are mot
quite well' or '.half sick'' have You ever
thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness?
1t Is easy to tell by setting aside your
urine for twenty-four hours; a sediment
or settling indicates an unhealthy condi-
tion OF the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate, seanty supply,
pain or dull ache in the back is also con-
Tincing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der need doctoring.
There is satisfaction in knowing that the
great remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
fulfiIIs every wish in relieving weak or
diseased kidneys and all forms of bladder
and urinary troubles. Not only does
Swamp-Root give new life and activity to
the kidneys-the cause of trouble, but by
treat ting the kidneys it acts as a tonic for
the entire constitution. If you need a
medicine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists, price fifty cents and one
dollar. So remarkably successful has
Swamp-Root been that IL you wish to
Prove its great merit, you may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free
by mail. Mention the Sunday Times and
send your address to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghalnpton, N. Y. The fact that Til:

DR.. n. B. Shade:
Ny Dear Sir: In regard to your desire
to know my present opinion or my daugn-
ter s condition, who went under your tTea l.
ment in November, S94, for hereditary
tuberculosis, OF which disease her mother
died, as well several members or her
mothers family and Of which she herself
was in the second stage, | have to say
that while at the time OF her entering
upon your treatment her condition was
iii every respect highly unfavorable-
severe cough, loss OF appetite, loss or
weight, ana loss of strength, with gen
eral debility, and while for some time
she did not seem To improve, and In the
month or March following her condition
was that which produced great anxiety Y
upon our part, yet the treatment was per-
sistently continued, and when you dis
missed the case, in June, 1 S9J, after seven
months treatment, her cough was gone, eX-
pectoratiOn had ceased entirely, her appe-
tite was improved and her wei ght increased.
AT this time, six months later, she is able
to take long walks without fatigue, her
weight is still increasing, and her general
appearance eXcites the admiration OF her
acqualIIta noes, while there is every indica-
tiOn that she has been restored TO better
health than she has had for years, which
appears to Be permanent and Continuous.
| was led to put her under your care
through oral and written information and
examination or your eatment, which
has proved to be highly successful, satis-
factory and efficient. Yours very truly,

The Little Wclshman Says His Race
With Bald VIII Be His Iast-Why
Bicycle Racers Break Down-Rac-
ing In Germany-Tom Linton Com
ing to America-Cycling Notes.

Speaking of six da y races, a well known
writer on cycling makes this emphatic
statement: There is every rea son to
believe that the recent event at Madison
Square Garden was the finish of that
kind OF racing In this country. 1t is
better SO. For years the best-inforrned
writers in this country have pronounced
the game brutal and demoralizing.
There is not a redeeming feature in the
kind nf sport in question. To ride on
wheel fer days and nights without as
much sleep as an ordinary man would
get in one night, does not contain one
worthy feature OF sport, and IL proves
lot single thing, except that one man
has more OF the real animal nature than
another man.
Tine truth is that the common instinct
or the brute creation would rebel against
such torture as the riders in the six da y
race undergo. The sight or men riding
On bicycles until their heads become almost
like the heads of ma MACS, until the riders
drop from their wheels asleep and 10
not wake up by the fall until their reason
forsakeS them and their eyes look like
two pieces of fire ready to dart from their
sockets; sights like these cannot In sense
be humane sights.
1T is the aim of true sport to be noble
and elevating and not degrading. When
it teaches the latter, then it is time to
stop 1t.
1T is the brutal in sport that placed
many classes of sport under such iIaa.-
caps as We find them today, anil tt is
