often expressed that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney and bladder rem
edy, fulfills every wish in curing rheu-

water and scalding pain in passing IL, 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 ex-
traordinary effect of Swamp proof is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need medicine you should
have the best. Sold by druggists in fifty

had been sentenced. This practice he
condemned in strong terms 1t is wrong

suits, he said, for a man to permit his
sympathies to interfere with his judg-
