Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours /;
sediment OF settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate
or pain in the back, is also convincing
proof that the kidneys and bladder are
out of order.
WHAT TO Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp

unpleasant necessity 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 it's wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. If you
