WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so often
expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
the great kidney remedy, fulflls every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver
bladder and every part of the urinary pas
sages. It couects inability to hold urine and
scading pain in passing it, or bad effects fol-
lowing use of liquor wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled 10 get ap many times during the
night to urinate. The mild and the ex-
tmordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its wonder
ful cures of the most distressing eases. If
you need a medicine you should have the

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours
sediment or settling indicates diseased con-
dition 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 convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

After fifteen seconds he would sigh and

an explosive voice exclaimed:
''Good heavensl Let up, will you? I've

pIcYcLEs crRE AsTHMA.
Views of Physicians Who Have
studied the Subject.

studied the Subject.
The value Of bicycle riding for that
portion of humanity suffering with divers
ailments that may he benefited by exer-
else is no longer disputed very largely
An English physician VINO has made the
study of bicycle riding as it pertains 10
asthmatic persons the object OF special
research has come out unqualiriedly ia
favcr OF the use OF the wheel.
Asthma, according to the generally ac
crpted idea, may be cured, or, at least,
relieved, by exercising the respiratory or
gsns. Asthma is known by great many
as shortness of breath. The slightest eX-
erCion ont of tile ordinary causes palpi
tiition OF the heart and a choking, half
rnffoo ated feeling. The face and head
become extremely warm and flushed,
and the sensation OF extreme discomfort
has depressing effect upon the system.
Nearly all first beginners on the bicycle
find Till climbing decidedly annoying
The heart throbs with each effort of the
limits, and the blood surSes in heat waves
over the body. PeTspiration is greatly
accelerated, and hill climbing is voted u
nuisance. Constant practice, however, il
the heart be sound, soon enables cyclists
to climb ordinary hills with a comparative
degree OF comfort.
1t was the resemblance OF the symptoms
OF asthma to the trials OF the hill climber
that induced the physician who inyesti-
gated tie subject TO experiment with
cycle riding upon asthmatic patients.
He found, first of all, that bicycle riding
whether by inyalids or by well persons
increased the depth OF breathing without
fatigue More air was taken into the
lungs to aerate tile blood. Chest expan-
sion Increased slightly.
The patient with asthma could not ride
very far at first without wheeling and
coughing. At night he choked up about d :
badly as ever Little by little, day after
day, this wore off, and at length, after a
year Of moderate riding, IL dawned upon
him one day that he was so much improved
that a ride Of thirty or forty miles did not
fatigue him in the least. Furthermore, all
tnat disagTecable tiehtness over the chest
al night from w hich he had su ffered for
years was gone.
ia another year he could ride fifty miles
Where he had been able TO ride twenty
five, and without any discomfort. Dur
ing the winter he rode indoors
Today he IS practically well, American
physicians, who have studied the subject,
are inclined 20 agree with the theory Of
the b:cycle cure for asthma. At least
malt a dozen instances are cited in New
