. ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from I'M
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment cf other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
festeu in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage 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. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex-
traordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail, upon receipt of three two-cent
stamps to cover cost Of postage on the
bottle. Mention THE COLUMBIAN and
