Charleston admits the existence
in the city of the gold fever, and
of so violent a type that nothing
but a trip to the Klondyke mines
will relieve it. There seems little
doubt that many of her citizens

much money in the pockets of the
men who are getting up the ex.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
poae, 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 ls from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause Of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
il not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
usinary 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. 70 find out correctly, set
your urine aside for "a hour; a
sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root. the great kidney
and bladder remedy, is soon real
lied. If you need medicine you
should have the best. At druggists.
