lowing use of liquors, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant nee
essity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for
its wonderful cures OF the most dis
tressiDg cases. II you need a medi-

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water
glass with urine and let it stand
twenty-four hours sediment or
settling indicates diseased condition
of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence Of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.

money-lender does Mr.. Robertson
speak. when he says that lawful

There is a strange solicitude for the

the lender rather than the wishes of
the borrower.
