ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such il is not tablet to any form OF
disease except by one OF two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action OF the
kidneys. The second way is from care
less local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause Of bladder trou-
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was created for n purpose, and II not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease, except in rare cases. II
is situated back of and very close to the
bladder, therefore any pain, disease OF
inconvenience manifested in the kid
neys, back, bladder or urinary passage il
often, by mistake, attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble Of some sort,
The error is easily made and may be az
easily avoided. To find out correctly
set your urine aside for twenty-foul
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
kidney or bladder trouble. The milo
and extraordinary effect Of DIR. kilmer's
Swamp-R Root, the great kidney and blad'
der remedy is soon realized. III you
need a medicine you should have the

Electric BitterS.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener-
ally needed in the Spring, when the Ian
guild exhausted feeling prevails, when
the liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of a tonic and Alternative is felt. A
prompt use of this medicine has often
averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fevers. No medicine will act more sure
ly in counteracting and freeing the sys-
ten from the malarial poison. Head
ache Indigestion, constipation, dizziness
yield to Electric Bitters. Only fifty cents
per bottle at NJ. Friedman's drug store. !
