NOT ALWAYS UNDERsrOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, Is that women suffer as much
from distressing kidney and bladder
trouble as the men. The womb is stu
ated back of and very close 20 the blad-
der, and for that reason any distress, di-
sease or Inconvenience mari tested 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 as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for
'wenty-four hours; a sediment or settling
is evidence that your kidneys and bladder
need doctoring. Ifyou have pain or dull
aching in the back, pass water too FREE
quently, or scanty supply, with smarting
or burning-these are also convincing
proofs of kidney trouble, II you have
doctored without benefit, try DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy.
The mild and the extraordinary effect will
surprise you. 1t stands the highest for
it's wonderful cures. Ifyou take medi-
cine you should take the best. At drug

Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver be inactive, you have bilious look /;
if your stomach be disordered, you have a
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are affect
ed, you have a pinched look. Secure
good health and you will surely have good
looks. "Electric Bitters" is good al
terative and tonic. Acts directly on the
stomach, liver and kidneys. Purifies
the blood, cures pimples, blotches, and
boils and gives good complexion.
