IT is EASY TO TELL.

People are not apt to get anxious about
their health soon enough. If you are mot
quite we'll" or .'half sick'' have yon ever
thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by settiug aside your
urine for twenty-tour hours; sediment
or settling indicates an unhealthy condi-
ton of the kidneys When urine stains
linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate. scanty supply,
pain or dull ache in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der need doctoring.
There is satisfaction in knowing that the
great remedy DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
fulfills every wish in relieving weak or
diseased kidneys and all forms of bladder
and urinary troubles. Not only does
Swamp-Root give new life and activity to
the kidneys4the cause of trouble, but by
treating the Kidneys it acts as tonic for
the entire constitution. II you neet, a
medicine YOU should have the best. Sold
by druggists, price fifty cents and one
dellar. So remarkably successful has
swampRoot been that If you wish to
prove it's great merit, you may have a

Emphasized, and Doctor Mccoy Makes
Positive the Notice That the So Rate

Doctor Mccoy has been more than gem
erous in extending the rate. 1t will not be

Doctor Mccoy feels that he is acting
with the same good faith now, in giving
positive notice OF the absolute expiration
of the rate, that he has always shown,
