Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is the chief cause of bladder troubles So
the womb like the bladder, was created for
one purpose, and if not doctored too much
is not liable to weakness or diseased, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder therefore any pain,
disease or inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is
often by mistake attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort The
error is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set you
urine aside for twenty-four hours; sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or bladder
trouble. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy is soon
realized. If you need a medicine you should
have the best At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet, both sent free by mail.
