The Wonderful Curative Properties Of Swamp
 Root, th6 Great KIdn6U and Bladder R6n6dU.
To Prove what Swamp Root will do for YOU, Every Reader of the Age-Hera1d May Have Sample Bottle Sent Free by Mail.

It used to be considered that only urin- ary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that 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 are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body Is affected. and how every organ seems to fall to do it's duty.
 If you are sick or feel badly" begin taking the famous new discovery, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone.
 Among the many famous cures cf Swamp Root investigated by tho Age- Herald, the one which we publish this week for the benefit of our readers speaks in the highest terms of the wonderful curative properties of this great remedy. MT. Robert Berner. IA West 117th street. New York city, writes: "I had been suf- fering severely from kidney trouble. All symptoms were on hand; my former strength and power had left me; I could hardly drag myself along. Even my men tai capacity was giving out, and often wished to die. It was then I saw an ad- vertisement of yours in New York pa per, but would not have paid any atten- tion to it. had 1t not promised sworn guarantee with every bottle of your medi- cine, asserting that your Swamp-Root is purely vegetable. and does not contain any harmful drugs.

France has much to blush for in the
treatment which has been accorded to
ex-Queen Ranavolo of Madagascar.
Though the queen was removed from
the capital with little ceremony after
the conquest of Madagascar and sent
into exile at Algiers, she was allowed to
take with her a small retinue of native
attendants. She was deprived one by
one of these attendants until there was
left to her only one, an old dignitary Of
the court who took the Office of inter-
prefer. for Ranavolo. though she speaks
English, knew no word of French Now
they have sent the interpreter back to
Madagascar and left the queen alone
with her guards
It has been decided that she is never
again to hear her native tongue and
never again to see one of her own race.
though France has wrested from her
her ancestral domains, and she is help
less in the hands of France. Her posi-
ton seems to call for some of the pity
which the French have been Offering so
literally to Kruger. Her guards at Al
giers are all about her house, and she
Is treated with scant respect.
