ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
and as such it is not liable 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
careless local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder troubles
So the womb, like the bladder, was Great
ed for one purpose, and if not dOctOred
too much is not liable to weakness or dis
ease, except in rare cases. It is situated
back of and very close to the bladder,
therefore any disease pain, disease or in
convenience manifested in the kidneys.
back, bladder or irinay passage is often.
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort. The
error is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set your
urine aside for twenty -fo,tr hours; q sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or blad-
der trouble. The mild and the extraor-
binary effect of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, and bladder
remedy is noon realized. If you need
. medicine you should have the best.

CONDITIONS IN ALASKA.

Capt. Philip Ray, the army officer
who was sent by the war department
to Alaska to investigate and report
upon conditions along the Yukon, has
returned aud while it is evident from
what he says that he has great faith
in the wealth of the territory his re-
port is anything but encouraging to the
horde of inexperienced argonauts who
are now rushing into the vast wilder
ness to join in the wild search for the
golden fleece. His estimate of tins
seasons output of Klondike district is
5000, 900 to $1,000 900, which is very
much lower-less than half-the esti-
mates ordinarily given. The output
on the American side he thinks will
be 81 ,OOO, GOO this year, and he further
expresses the opinion that tive have
better and more extensive mining Sec
tions in Alaska than in the Northwest
Territory" As to food he says there
is no scarcity aud that in fact .'there
has not been so much food in the Yu-
kon country in the last five years as
there Is now. Among the white men
there has been no starvation at any
time and those who had money could
buy food" But he says further:
