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
bladder are out of order.
What to do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheuma-
tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder, and every part of the urinary
passage. 1t corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it, 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 to 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 dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
g;sts in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of this
wonderful discovery and a book that
tells more about it, both sent absolutely
free by mail. Address DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, n. Y. When writing be
sure and mention that YOU read this
generous offer in this paper.

believe in ''the Cody man" at the
white house:
1.-THE evil results from the late change
in our civil service appear constantly in
our Indian missions-good Christian
men in some cases removed and profane
and immoral men substituted. In Ok
lahoma, at Ponca, no respect is paid to
the law regarding selling liquor to the
Indians, but crowds, and from Other
tribes also, are freely supplied, With
in four years a serious decline is observ.
ed in the Indian service where the
Woman's Home Missionary Society pay
missions. A good man, a co worker
with our mission, has just been remov
ed. Never was the foul hand of the
politicians more in evidence than it /;
