TWO REMARKABLE CURES
Of Two Prominent and Well-Known
People.
A Catarrh Cure that Cures.
Some Seasonable Spring Sayings.

Springtime has come at last, and now
is the time for all catarrh sufferers to
begin a systematic course of treatment
for this disease. The greatest difficulty
in the way Of treating chronic catarrh
is that the patient is so liable to catch
cold during the treatment and thus de-
lay the cure. This liability at this sea-
son of the year is, in a great measure,
removed, and no one should neglect
the opportunity to begin treatment.

WHAT SHALL WE DO.

A serious and dangerous disease pre-
walls in this country, dangerous be-
cause SO deceptive. 1t comes on so
slowly yet surely that it is often firm
ly seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may
be divided into three distinct stages
is, First, Kidney trouble, indicated by
pain in the back, rheumatism, lum-
bago, frequent desire to urinate, often
with a burning sensa tion, 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 the water
passage, increasing desire to urinate,
with scalding sensation in passing,
small quantities being passed with diff
ficulty, sometimes necessary to draw
it with instruments. If uric acid or
gravel has formed, it will prove dan
gerous if neglected.
The Third stage is Bright's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that
DR.. Kilmer, the great kidney and blad
der specialist, has discovered a Rem
edy famous for it's marvellous cures of
the most distressing cases and known
as DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.
