There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmcr'S swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver. bladder and every part OF
the urinary passages. 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain passing
it, or bad effects following use of Hqnor,
wine or beer, and overcornes that un-
pleasant 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. II YOU need

by druggists, price fifty cents and one
dollar. You may have sample bottle and

A New Saddle for Bicyclists.

Bicycle riders have had introduced To
their notice the Moore saddle 1t mas
been pronounced by riders and physicians
to be the most perfect ever produced.
The objections to saddles In general Use
are many. AT present there is no saddle
which can be used by any rider with ease
and comfort. 1t Is necessary TO Try sad
die after saddle, and in the end the iider
accepts one which does not suit, but be-
cause tits the best one tina can be had. The
reason Is readily apparent, and il is that
many saddles on the market are faulty
both in construction and principle. All
saddles which use two pads are objection
able because the pads become hard and
caky; also, the pads generate heat; also,
there is no way of ventilating, and in hill
climbing the tendency is to slide forward
on to the peak, which is below the level Of
the pads and does not form the abutment
which is absolutely necessary, and the
pads do not wear well and lose their
shape.
''The Moore" saddle consists Of q trans
verse support which is connected to the
usual seat post of the machine; two clamps
surround the support; two flat springs are
carried by the clamps, and to the ends Of
the springs are connected the cantles and
adjusting devices, to which are secured
the two tops made OF leather The saddle
is of ornamental aud attractive appearance;
1T can he easily applied and adjusted to any
sized machine. BY reason of its many
adjustments it can be adapted to any size
or formed rider. 1t places the weight
directly upon the pelvic bones, removing
all pressure, insuring perfect ease and COM
fort, and preventing injurious effects; 1t
insures perfect ventilation; smooth and easy
riding; can be adjusted and take up slack
or make the saddle soft or hard; and
in fact, overcomes every objection and will
perfectly adapt itself to all riders.
