THE NEW METHOD OF
BLOOD PURIFYING.
What the New Discovery in Medical
Science Has Accomplished.
The Prompt Way Yourself When Symptoms

The EMINENT SPECIALISTS FREE OFFER TO ALL
READERS OF THIS PAPER.

For a great many years it has been
the custom for sick people to say: MY
blood is out of order 1t needs purify
ing. 1 feel all used up. My skin needs
clearing. My brain feels tired"
They are right, but do they act right
They generally go and get a laxative
(bowel cleaner) to purify their blood.
Does their blood run through their
bowels?
Science has to-day furnished proofs
that all the purifying that your blood
needs, in fact, all that can be done,
must be done by your kidneys.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys every three min
utes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purities of the blood-thatist is their work.
Purifying your blood is not a ques-
ton of taking laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are already
IN your blood, causing your present
sickness 1t IeaCes there
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your kid
neys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using

Kidney Remedy.

natural help to nature, for Swamp-Root

aid to the kidneys that is known to
medical science.
DR.. Kilmer, the eminent physician
and specialist, has attaineda far-famed
reputation through the discovery and
marvellous success of Swamp-Root in
purifying the blood, and thereby cur
ing chronic and dangerous diseases,
caused by sick kidneys, of which some
of the symptoms are given below.
Pain or dull ache in the back or head,
rheumatism, neuralgia, nervousness,
dizziness, irregular heart, sleepless-
ness, sallow complexion, pimples,
blotches, skin troubles, dropsy, irrita-
bility, loss of ambition, obliged to pass
water often during the day, and to get
upmany times at night, and all forms Of
kidney, bladder and uric acid troubles.
Swamp-Root is sold by all dealers, in
fifty-cent or one dollar bottles. Make
note of the name, SWAMP-ROOT, DR..

The great discovery Swmp-Root has
been tested in so many ways, in hospital
work, in private practice among the

and has proved SO successful in every

An Evidence of Pro,pertty.

country, that the great arteries of railway
travel are a sure indication of its condition
depression in commercial lines means
abandoned business trips and the cancella-
ton OF pleasure travel, while a healthy con,
dltlon of affairs means business trips and an
increase OF passengers on pleasure bent.
A good evidence that business revival

sleeper on the trains leaving New York and
Chicago Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-

END CLOSE AT HAND.
Filipinos Admit the Sovereignty Of
the United states.

Washington, May Z. Aguinaldo
emissaries to the American Philippine
commission have formally admitted
the sovereignty of the United States
over the Philippine archipelago. From
member of the cabinet 1T was
learned that this admission was made
to President Schurman, and the CHAR
acter of the answer was no doubt as
gratifying to the commission as II is
TO the president.
AS result of the dispatch sent by
Mr. Schurman it is the confident eX.
pectation of the president that the end
Of the rebellion is close at hand. This
result will not be obtained without
concessions which have been recon-
mended by the commission and which.
by direction of the president, will be
granted. These concessions contem-
plate giving the Filipinos form OF
government modelled after that of the
United States. The members OF the
cabinet who were seen say that the
commission had unanimously adopted
a recommendation which was sub
mitted to the president in Mr. Schur-
mans dispatch, providing three de-
partments for the government OF the
archipelago:
First, the executive department;
second. the legislative department.;
aid, third. the judicial department.
| Mr.. Schurmans communication
made a deep impression upon the
cabinet meeting yesterday, and after
! the meeting it was stated that the
situation in Luzon, aside from its
military feature, is most encouraging.
! While the administration believes
from Commissioner Schurman'S cable
gram that the end of the Filipino in
Eurrection is near. it is not thought
wise to send any instructions to Gen.
Otis that would result in his pursuing
less vigorous military policy. 1t is
feared that back of all the Filipino ne
gotiations for suspension of hostili-
ties there may be merely a desire to
gain time for reorganization and for
strengthening intrenchments. 1t is
therefore probable that until the Fill
Ipipos actually yield the campaign will
be conducted with as much vigor as
if there were no indications of an
early peace.
