WOMEN SHOULD KNOW 1T.

Many women suffer untold agony
and misery because the nature of their
disease is not correctly understood.
They have been led to believe that
womb trouble or female weakness of
some sort is responsible for the many
ills that beset womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy Or dark circles under the ey' 8,
rheumatism, dragging pain or dull
ache in the back, weakness or bearing
down sensation, profuse or scanty sup
ply of urine with strong odor, frequent
desire to pass it with scalding Or burn
ing sensation, sediment in it after
standing in bottle or common glass for
twenty-four hours, are signs of kidney
and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often at
tributed by the patient herself or by
her physician to female weakness or
womb trouble. Hence, so many fail
to obtain relief, because they are
treating, not the disease itself, but a
reflection of the primary cause, which
is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as we'll as men are
made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble and both need the same
remedy.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the
great discovery Of the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, and is easy to
get at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar.
To prove it's wonderful merits y"u
may have a sample bottle and book
telling all about it, both sent absolute
ly free by mail. Kindly mention the
Florida Agriculturist and send your
address to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham

to light a cigar. "Have a cigar?" he
said absentmindedly, as he scratched a

his conscience-''very mild, and won't

were seriously injured. II is uncertain
whether he will be able to retain the
sight OF one or either OF them. He
was taken to the Mary Fletcher hos
pital.
Burns injuries are in his hands,
which were terribly laceraied, one
thumb having to be amputated at once,
and the inside OF one wrist was torn
TO pieces, one artery being severed
and the cords fairly pulled out, but ii
is hoped that the hand may be saved.
The force of the explosion was so
great that four men, standing near by,
were thrown violently to the ground
and it is wonderful that Others were
not badly hurt. The l0-fOot drill,
which the men were using, was
blown out of sight and after several
hours was found a long distance away
on the back side of the ledge. This is
the first serious accident which has
happened since the opening of the
ledge some dozen years ago.
