ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created Tor one purpose,
namely, receptacle for the urine, and as
such it is not liable to any form of disease
except by one OF two ways The first way
is from imperfect action OF the kidneys.
The second way is from careless local
treatment OF other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is the CHEF cause of bladder troubles and
suffering so painful TO many that life is
made miserable. The wemb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and If
left alone it notliatSle to become diseased,
except in rare cases. When in position the
womb is situated hack OF and very close
to the bladder, and for that reason any
distress, disease, or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder, or
urinary passage, is often 10y mistake at
tTibuted to female weakness or womb
trouble OF some sort The error is easily
made and may be as easily avoided by
paying a little attention to the urine fgee
pemphlet). The nsild and extraordinary
effect of DIR. KilIner's Swamp Root, the
great kidney, liver, and bladder remedy,
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures. If you need medicine
you should have the best. AT druggists,
