The New Cure for Kidney, Bladder and Uric
Acid Troubles.

Almost everybody who reads the
newspapers is sure to know of Swami
Root, the great kidney remedy.
1t is the great medical triumph of
the nineteenth century; discovered
after years of scientific research bv the
eminent kidney and bladder specialist
DIR. Kilmer, and has truly wonderful
powers In curing kidney, liver, bladder
and uric acid diseases.
Kidney trouble is responsible for
more sickness and sudden deaths than
any other disease, and is so deceptive
that thousands have it without know
ing it.
Thousands owe their health and even
lie to Swamp-Root and thousands
more who to-day think themselves be-
yond help, can be made we'll by the
use of this great remedy.
Swamp-ROOt has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in pri-
vate practice, among the helpless too
poor to purchase relief, and has proved
so successful in every case that a spec
1al arrangement has been made bv
which all readers of the TIMES. who
have not already it, may have a sam
pie bottle sent absolutely free by mail.
Also book telling more about Swamp
Root and containing thousands of tes
tlmonial letters received from men and
women who owe their very lives, to the
wonderful curative properties of
SwampROOt. Be sure and mention

The day of great industrial invention )
is not yet ended. Two discoveries of
importance are just announced, which.
If the claims made for them can be sub
stantiated, will work wonders in the in
dnstrial world. One is new process
for hardening steel far beyond any,
thing ever known before; the other is
the commercial production of liquid
air and its adaptability to many, if not
all, of the processes for which steam is
now used. The latter claims to OBJ
viate the disadvantages under which
steam labors, without having any of its
own, and, though this is too much to
believe, it does seem probable that the
new, strange substance will be substi-
tuted for steam in many of the depart
ments Of industry where the latter is
now indispensable.
