Not Always Understood.

A fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer as much
from distressing kidney and bladder troub.
les as the men. The womb Is situated
back of and very close to the bladder, and
for that reason any distress, disease OF
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 doctoring. II you have pain or dull
aching in the back, pass water too fire.
quently, or scanty supply, with smarting
or burning-there are also convincing
proofs of kidney trouble. If you have
doctored without benefit, try DIR. Kllmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy.
The mild and the extraordinary effect will
surprise you. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures. If you take a medicine
