Do You Have Rheumatism?
Are You Sleepless, Irritable, All Run Down?
Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable?
SWAMP-RooT Is the Great Remedy for Kidney, Bladder
and Uric Acid Troubles. To Prove for Yourself Its
Wonderful Merits, You May Have Sample Bottle Sent
FREE by Mail

You are in no danger of being sick if you
keep your kidneys we'll
They filter your blood and keep it pure
and free from disease-breeding germs.
Your other organs may need care, but
your kidneys most, because they do most
If you are sick, begin with your kidneys,
because as soon as they are well they will
help all the other organs to health.
The treatment of some diseases may be
delayed without danger, not so with kid
ney disease.
Swamp-Root is the great medical tri-
umph OF the nineteenth century; discovered
after years of untiring effort and research
by the eminent kidney and bladder special
ist, DIR. Kilmer, and has truly wonderful
healing action on the kidneys and bladder
1t will be found by both men and women
just what is needed in all cases of kidney
and bladder disorders, lame back, dull pain
or ache in the back, gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia,
uric acid troubles and Bright's disease,
which is the worst form of neglected kidney
trouble.
If your water when allowed to remain
in glass or bottle for twenty
four hours forms a sediment or settling or
has cloudy appearance, it is evidence
that your kidneys and bladder need imme-
iiate attention.

compelled to go often during the day and to

This prompt, mild and wonderful remedy
is easy to get at the drug store, in fifty

doubt many tricks in this trade, and. they
are worked all the way from the lazy cul-
tivator to the exporting agent, and back
again. One dealer said to me yesterday:
1T Is the custom to put up an order with
just enough No. 1 on the outside of the
balo to make the thing appear all right; or,
What IS more common, TO grade down an
order by sending No. l on board at first
and following it up with the inferior grades
when the purchaser is tired of opening
Dales. For instance, the agent puts in
five per cent. of No. 1, Is per cent. of No. 2,
and the rest of No. 3 and No. :, calling it
all good current. There is much 'dipio-
macy in the classification of his goods"
The pressing of hemp costs 81 bale; the
landing and shipping charges at Manila
are 30 cents bale. The freight 10 Manila
averages about S1.25 a bale The jobber's
profit is enormous.
A great many things are made of hemp
from floor mattings to binder twine. The
natives select the very finest of the fiber
and weave a delicate fabric, which is as
expensive as the finest silk, and they make
.helr rough garments of it as well. Sail
cloth is made of it, and cordage too. Ma
