NOT FOR EVERYTHING.

But il you have kidney, liver or bladder
trouble you will find Swamp Root just
the remedy you need People are n OF apt
to get anxious about tho.r health soon
enough. If you are 'not quite rell" or
''half sick" have you ever thought that
your kidneys may be the cause of your
sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside your
urine for twenty -four hours; a sediment
or settling indicates an unhealthy condi-
ton of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate, scant supply,
pain or dull ache in the back is also CON
vincing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der need doctoring.
There is satisfaction in knowing that
the great remedy DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, fulfills every wish in relieving weak
or diseased kidneys and all forms of blad-
der and urinary troubles. Not only does
Swamp Root give new life and activity to
the kidneys-the cause of trouble, but by
treating the kidneys it acts as tonic for
the entire constitution. IL you need a
medicine you should have the best.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar, or by mentioning the Vernon
County CENSOR and sending your adj
dress to DR.. Kilmer and Co., Binghamton,
N. Y, you may have a sample bottle of
this great discovery sent to you free by
mail.

s William Guider, was, on Monday. NOM
mated for mayor of Milwaukee, by the
republicans. His rival was H. J. Baum
gaertner for the honor. One peculiar
feature of the situation is that the nomi-
nee is candidate on reform platform
made by his rival. 1t appears to be
another case of the corporations not
considering seriously what party plat
sorm may contain il they are permitted
to name the candidate. We have two
illustrious examples of this in the state
treasury and snti-pass planks in recent
republican platforms. But "there will
come a day" and an end to this kind of
politics. The corporations feared Mr..
Baumgaertner, but they were willing to
chance Mr.. Guider, although he is said
to be a clean, upright and honorable
gentleman.
