evils which have come, and must continue
TO come to the entire country through the
maintenance OF the single gold standard
and the consequent contraction OF the cur
rency. Tho senator refuses 10 abandon
the hope OF an International monetary
agreement, but does not hesitate to avow
that as between the single gold standard
and independent restoration Of silver By

latter. In n recent card he said

WHAT 1T INDICA E

Nothing so interferes with ones plans or
ambition like sickness or poor health. Have
YOU ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness? You can easily find
out by setting aside your urine for twenty four
hours a sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, isalso convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
1t is a source of comfort to know that DIR.
KiImer's Swamp Root is the great remedy for
all kidney and bladder complaints. 1t relieves
pain, stitch or dull aching in the back, difficult
or painful urination, frequent desire to %urinate,
scalding or pain in passing it, and quickly
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during the
night. The mild and extraordinary effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. Its action is
gentle, yet immediate, the relief speedy and
the cures permanent. At druggists fifty cents
and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet, both sent free by mail. Men
ton HERALD and send your address to DIR.
