What Shall We Do.

A serious and dangerous disease prevails
in this country, dangerous because so decep-
tive. 1t comes on so slowly yet surely that it
is often firmly 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, lumbago, frequent desire to
urinate often with a burning 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 the water passage, increasing de-
sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in
passing, small quantities being passed with
difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it
with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has
formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected
The Third stage is Bright's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that DR..
KImer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a Remedy famous
for its marvellous cures Of the most distressing
cases and known as DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root

great discovery, Swamp Root, sample bottle
