How to Find Out.

Fill bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty four
hours a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys:
if it stains your linen it is evidence of
kidney trouble; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-R Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passages.
1t corrects inability to hold water and
scalding pain in passing 1t, or bad effects
following use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to go often during the
day and get up many times during the
night The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures Of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best At druggists, 30 cents or 81.
You may have a sample bottle and a
book that tells more about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail, if you send your
address to DIR. Kilmer & CO., Bingham
ton, n. Y. When writing be sure and
mention that you read this generous
offer in the Paw Paw True Northerner.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

10y local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is 10y constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness Is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflam
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

The old year has passed away,
and gone; the New Year has been
ushered in. We know the history
of past year, but no one can look
down through the vista of time
and tell what the ensuing year
may bring. Let us so live during
this year, that we could expect
nothing but great reward from
that Supreme Ruler of the world.
Much has been done in 1893, and
the beginning Of movements, the
end Of which no one can see,have
had their being. The year ahead
of us will witness the fruition of
the work begun in 1898, and holds
achievements of great glory for
our people. We believe the race
and the American people in par
ticular are advancing morally and
mentally. The strength of the
latter has been in the simplicity
of their national life, their love OF
fair play and justice, their freedom
from ostentationssand vulgar dis
play, the little esteem in which
they hold the idea, and their,,regard
for the. industrious. If they will
keep the faith and hold fast to the
principles OF virtue and truth
which has guided them and sus
tanned, they can enter upon the
New Year confdent..and hopeful
ready for whatever the day may
bring,let it be good or bad. Let III
ever be ready to praise that Su
premeRuler for what He may see
At to cast upon us. Think not o
past, but ever remember there il
a bright future ahead of us, and
that we should strive to reach the
topmost round of that great ladder
Of fame, during the year 1899.
