Have You Tried Swamp: To Prove for Yourself the Wonderful Tier Great Discovery Every Reader of This
 May Have Sample Bottle Sen
 Absolutely Free by Tail.

Statistics prove that more people are brought to the grave by diseases of the kidneys and bladder than by any other disease.
 Kidney trouble is in itself so insidious and deceptive that thousands have some form of it and never suspectit.
 For many years medical science has been trying 10 discover some remedy that would positively overcome these dangerous troubles.
 But not until recently was the discov- cry made. Dr. Kilmer, the eminent physician and scientist, after years of study and research, and after test on test that never varied in the grand re- suit, announced the discovery of Swamp p-Root, which has proven itself most wonderful cure for all diseases of the kidneys and bladder.
 While Swamp-Root has proven sueh,a remarkable success in curing kidney and bladder diseases, it has also proved equally invaluable in the cure of blood diseases, rheumatism, liver and stom- ach troubles, and in the regulation and cure of all uric acid troubles.
 If your water, when allowed to remain undisturbed in glass or bottle for twenty-four hours, forms a sediment or settling, or has cloudy appearance, it is evidence that your kidneys and blad der need immediate attention.
 Swamp-Root has been tested in so many ways, in hospital work, in private practice, among the helpless too poor to purchase relief, and has proved so sue cessful in every case, that special ar engagement has been made by which all readers of this paper, who have not al- ready tried it, may have a sample bot tie sent absolutely free by mail.

THIS CITY PROTECTED.

RIVER TO BE PATROLED NIGHT
AND DAY TO PREVENT THE
PLAGUE FROM ENTERING THIS
PORT.
The people OF this city will be glad
to learn that the possible entrance OF
yellow fever in Wilmington and Phil
adelphia by the way Of the Delaware
river will be prohibited. as strict
quarantine has been declared by the
State Board of Health.
DR.. Henry d. Heller, executive offi-
Ger of the Pennsylvania Quarantine
Board, has ordered a night patrol OF
the river at Marcus Hook to prevent
any vessel from the infected district
passing up without inspection. Dr.
Heller stated that he had no fear that
the disease would be introduced into
the city by way of the ocean. The
authority Of the State Quarantine
Board did not extend beyond the pro-
lection Of the harbor. 1t had not an-
thority over the railroads, and he be-
lieved the chief danger to be from pas.
sengers from the infected district
coming North by rail.
The Pennsylvania railroad is the
only road entering Wilmington ant
Philadelphia, whose lines run to Tho
infected district OF Virginia. J.. r
Wood, the general passenger agent
yesterday assured the city and health
officers that no tickets from Old Poin'
Comfort, Hampton or any point in the
infected districts would be sold or ac
cepted.

The death of Colonel Hawkins. Of
the Tenth Pennsylvania Regiment, is
deplored by everyone. His gallantry
lin the field was universally recognized
and appreciated, and made him pub
lie idol. His death win also have a
decided effect on the political situation
in Pennsylvania. The enemies OF SEN
ator Quay had decided to make Colo
mel Hawkins their candidate for the
lgubernatorial nomination. With this
end in view, and knowing the love Of
the American people for a military or
naval hero. they made the most OF
what they considered their opportunity
to launch his boom. 1t had begun to
look as though Senator Quay must ae-
cept him, OF be beaten in an attempt
to defeat him at the primaries, when
the sad news came that death on the
high seas had thwarted the plans of
the enemies Of the Beaver man. 1t Is
extremely doubtful whether the anti
Quay element can find another man
sufficiently popular to serve their par
poses.
