of the week for attempting to cash d
forged money order, was given hear
ing yesterday before Commissioner
Spencer The preliminary examination
brought out several interesting facts, and
seems to indicate that an attempt was
made to defraud the government of sew

attempts to defraud the government

1t used to be considered that only urinary

nearly all diseases have their beginning in the
disorder of these most important organs.
The kidneys filter and purify the blood-that
is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneys weak or

your entire body is affected, and how every
organ seems to fail to do its duty.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for many Kinds of diseases; and if permitted to
continue much suffering with fatal results are
sure to follow. Kidney trouble irritates the
nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, slespless
and irritable Makes you pass water often
during the day, and obliges you to get up
many times during the night. Unhealthy kid
neys cause rheumatism, gravel, catarh of the
bladder, pain or dull ache in the back, joints
and muscles, makes you're head ache and oack
ache, causes indigestion, stomach and liver
trouble; you get sa!low, yellow complexion,
makes you feel as though you had heart

no strength; get weak and waste away.
The cure for these troubles is DR.. Kilner's
Swamp-Root, the world-famous kidney rem
edy. In taking Swamp-Root you afford nat
ural help to nature, for Swamp-Root is the
most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kid
neys that is known to medical science.
If there is any doubt in your mind as to
your condition, take from your urine on rising
about four ounces, place it in glass or bottle
and let it stand twcnty-four hours Iron ex-
animation it is milky or cloudy, if there is a
brick-dust settling, or if small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are in need of i'm
mediate attention.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take, and is used
