IRE YOUR
KIDNEYS WEAK?
Have You Bladder or Uric Acid Troubles?
You May Be Afflicted and Not Know 1t.
To Prove for Yourself the Wonderful Curative Properties of
SwampRoot the Great Kidney Remedy Every Reader
OF the daily Age Herald May Have Sample Bottle Sent
Absolutely Free by Mail.

IL Is now conceded by eminent scientists
that the most important organs of the bod
are the kidneys. They filter your blood and
work away night and day, whether you are
asleep or awake.
People are apt to believe that kidney dis
ease is rather rare disease, bu, statistics
have proven that it is most common
trouble.
And the proof of this is that most dis
eases, perhaps So per cent, are caused in
the beginning by disorders of the kidneys.
BECAUSE they fail to filter your blood.
Your other organs may need care, but
your kidneys most, because they do most.
If you are Sick begin doetoring your kid
neys, because as soon as they are well
they will help all the other organs to
health.
When your kidneys are not doing their
work some of the symptoms which prove il
to you are pain or dull ache in the back,
rheumatic pains, sciatiea, sediment in the
urine. scanty supply scaldng irritation in
passing it, obliged to go often during the
day and to get up many times during the
night; uric acid, sleeplessness, nervous irri-
liability, sallow, unhealthy commplexion,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes, loss of
energy and ambition.
II your water, when allowed to remain
undlsturbed for twentyfour hours forms
a sediment or settling, or has cloudy ap-
pearance it is evidence that your kidneys
and bladder need immediate attention.
Swamp-Root Is the great medical triumph
OF the 18th century, discovered after years
of untiring effort and research by the ia
nous kidney and bladder specialist, DR..
Kilmer. 1t will be found by both men and
women just what is needed in all cases of
kidney, liver, bladder and uric acid trou-
bles.
This famous new discovery, Swamp-Root,
WAL set your whole system right.
The best proof of this is a trial, and moth
ing could be fairer than the offer to send
a sample bottle of Swamp-Root and book
telling all about it, and containing some of
the thousands upon thousands of testimo-
NAL letters received from sufferers cured.
Both the sample bottle and book will be
sent absolutely free by mail to any ad-
dress.
The great discovery, Swamp-Root, is so
remarkably successful that our readers are
advised to write for a free sample bottle,
and to be sure and mention reading this
generous offer in the Birmingham Daily

Played Into Hands of the
Enemies of Silver

Athens, October 2.-(Special.) lion. John
w Tomhnson, candidate for governor,
spoke here today to a large and representa-
tive audience, the court house being filled
with prominent democrats from every part
of the county. In a complimentary and
duced by w. r. Walker, Esq, prominent
member of the Athens bar and an old
school mate of Mr.. Tomlinson 5. The
speaker was greeted with generous APP
plause, and throughout forceful and losi-
cal presentation of the issues of the day
he was listened to with close and marked
attention. He reviewed briefly the history
of the great contest of 1896 and of the or
ganzed effort for the renewal of the great
fight in 1900, with William ]. Bryan as the
leader.
Paid His Respects to Staliings
Referring to the letter Mr.. Stallings wrote
to the New York journal, he said that Mr..
stallings, by writing it, played into the
hands OF the enemies of silver and Mr..
Bryan. He quoted the CORTLAND Enter
prise, a leading silver paper of north Ala
bama, which criticised Mr.. Stallngs ex-
PLANTATION of this letter, which was that he
desired to compliment a southerner. The
audience applauded Mr.. Tominson when
he said that this was no time for paying
compliments; that Mr.. Stallings letter had
been used all over the nation to disorgan-
ize and dishearten the silver forces led by
Mr.. Bryan.
Another Thrust mt Book Trust
Mr.. Tomlinson argued the currency ques-
ton, the trusts and imperialism. He said
the book trust was one of the trusts that
could be throttled by state legislation; that
1t had been done in Indiana, West Virginia
and Tennessee, where the children of these
states were getting books for a great deal
less than the children of Alabama.
Mr.. Tomlinson said he expected the book
trust to fight him. He also said that he had
scme indications of trades and combines
affecting the gubernatoral race: that he
expected to do some plain talking in this
campaign and was not going to be deferred
in fighting the enemies of silver and Bryan
by any threats that had been or might be
made
Besides being politically strong in Lime

complaints had been made to the postal
authorities at Washington as to irregu-
larities in the Wilkesbarre office. and
Mr. Gregory said n thorough inveStiga-
ton had shown that the allegations made
were true.
Mr.. Gregory would not divulge the
names of those who made the complaints.

dence was ample to cause the arrest and

AN IMPORTANT OFFICE.
Washington, March 9-The arrest of
Il. f. Bogert, postmaster at Wilkesbarre.
Pa, on a charge of tampering with or
binary mail. was reported to Chief Post
office Inspector Cochran this afternoon.
Wilkesbarre is an important Presidential
office. and Postmaster Bogert's salary is
$4,000 year. He has been postmaster
since May, 1896.
Postmaster Bogert would not be inter-
viewed. but in his paper the Evening
Leader tonight appears the following:
There are always two sides to a
question. and when there are three or
four fellows, and one or two in particu-
lar. clamoring for political office, and
hungry for the emoluments attached
thereto, there are sure to be schemes
worked ;tnd plans formed to cntrap the
incumbent cause his removal and punish
him otherwise. even il nothing further
than the annoyance and chagrin that
accomplishment of their devilish under
hand work imposes. When the diaboli-
cal schemers are fully shown up, and
their nefarious trickery exposed. there
is question as to which side will furn-
ish the raciest reading
The inference to be drawn from the
above is that Bogert imagined himself
the victim of conspiracy to Dust him
from the postmastership, and in order to
discover the conspirators he opened let
tiers addressed TO Republican politicians.
