CHIEF CAUSE


Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder trou-
bes. So the womb, like the bladder,
was CT Gated for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease, except in rare cases.
1t is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any pain, disease
or Inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary pas
sage is often, by mistake, attributed to
female weakness or womb trouble of
some sort. The error is easily made
and may be easily avoided. TO find out
correctly, set your urine aside for TWEEN
ty-fOur hours; sediment of settling in
dictates kidney or bladder trouble. The
mile and the extraordinary effect of DR..
kilmer's Swamp-ROot, the great kidney
ard bladder remedy is soon realized.
