HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand "a hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates diseased
condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is positive evidence of
kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate or pain in the back, is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR. Kilmcr's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fultills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages 1t
corrects inability To hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad effect
following use OF liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urinate
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp Root is soon realized 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases II
you need medicine you should have
the hest. Sold by druggists; price fifty
cents and one dollar. For sample
