WHAT SHALL WE DO.

A serious and dangerous disease prevails in
this country, dangerous because so deceptive. 1t
comes on so slowly yet surely that 1t is often
firmly seated before we are aware Of II.
The name of this disease which may be divided
into three distinct stages is, first kidney trouble,
indicated by pain in the back, rheumatism, lumba-
go, frequent d, sire to urinate, often with burn.
ing sensation the flow of urine being copious or
scant with strong odor.
If allowed to advance this reaches the second
stage or bladder trouble, with heavy pain in the
abdomen low down between the navel and water
passage, increasing desire to urnate, with scad
ing sensation in pas sing, small quantities being
passed with difficulty, sometimes necessary TO
draw il with instruments. If uric acid or gravel
has formed it will prove dangerous If neglected
The third stage is Brights disease.
There is comfort in knowing that Dr. Kilmer,
the great kidney and bladder Specialist has dis
covered a remedy famous for its marvellous cures
of the most distressing cases and known as DR.
Kilmers Swamp Root.
1t is sold by all druggists.
As proof of the wonderful virtues of this
great discovery, Swamp Root, a sample bottle
and book of valuable information will be sent

There was slight mistake last week in
the item about the school in No. /. We
think the type must have got slightly mix
ed, for the item read, that, "There were

read, "There were no tardy marks in
