NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD

A fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer as much
from distressing kidney and bladder troubles
as the men The womb is situated back of
and very close to the bladder, and for that
reason any distress, disease or inconvenience
manifested 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 by setting urine aside for
twenty-four hours a sediment or settling is
evidence that your kidneys and bladder need
doctoriug. If you have pain or dull aching
i'm the back, pass water too frequently, or
scauty supply, with smartng OF burning

trouble. If you have doctored without
benefit, try DR.. Eilmer's Swamp-Root the
