At no time in the history of dis.
ease has there been such an alarm
ing increase in the number of cases
OF any particular malady as in that
OF kidney and bladder troubles now
proving upon the people of this coun-
try
To-day we see a relative, a friend
or an acquaintance apparently will
and in a few days we may be grieved
to learn of their serious illness or
sudden death, caused by hat fatal
type of kidney trouble-Brights dis
ease.
Kidney trouble often becomes adj
vanced into acute stages before the
afflicted is aware of its presence that
is why we read of so many sudden
deaths of prominent business and
prOfes iOnal men, physicians and 9th
ers. They have neglected to stop the
leak in time.
While scientists are puzzling their
brains to find out the cause, each in
dlvldual can, by a little precaution,
avoid the chances of contracting
dreaded and dangerous kidney trou-
BILE, or eradicate it completely from
their system if already afflicted.
Many precious lives might have been,
and many more a yet be saved, by
paying attention to the kidneys.
1t is the mission of The Progress
i've Farmer to benefit it's readers at
every opportunity, and therefore we
advise all who have any symptoms
of kidney or bladder trouble to write
to -day to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
hamtOn, n. Y, for free sample bot
tie of Swamp-Root, the celebrated
specific which is having such a great
demand and remarkable success in
the cure of the most distressing kid
ney and bladder troubles. With the
sample bottle of Swamp Root will al
so be sent free a pamphlet and treat
Use of valuable information.
The States vile Landmark says Sen
atOr LOndOn's vote against cOnvic.
ton was a surprise to some impeaCh-
ment advocates. "When the vote
was announced, a lady sitting near
him, an impeachment sympathizer,
said in a stage whisper: For heav-
ems sake, why did he vote that way !!
Major London overheard the remark
and he Immediately wrote on a slip
of paper and passed to his lady critic
the following For heavens sake I
voted that way That was a neat
answer"
1t is to be regretted that Capt. AL
exander's bill for a general road law
throughout the State should have
failed to secure such support as
would have placed it unchanged on
our statute books, and not with such
amendments as defeat its usefulness.
Mecklenburg has set an example in
the matter of gOOdrOads which could
we'll be followed with profit in all
our counties, and indeed it is a mat
ter of importance scarcely second
to any. We have fairly good roads
in part of Robson, but we need bet
ter, and our conditions and situa-
ton are such that we can have them
more cheaply than in most other sec
tons. Experience has Cleary demon
strated the fact that our present sys-
tenn of road working is a practical
failure. Let's abolish it and have u
good general road law such as will
provide splendid highways through
out every section of our State.-Lum-
