Prevalency of kidney Trouble,

So prevalent and deceptive is kidney
trouble that it very often becomes well
advanced before it is even suspected
therefore, it behooves all to be on the
lookout. Should you feel i'll, or not feel
ing well, it would be wise to first pay
attention to the kidneys and ascertain if
they are the cause of your trouble
A simple method of finding out if yorl-
kidneys are at fault has often been called
to the attention Of our readers through
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root advertising in
the columns of this paper, and it is now
repeated for the benefit of those who may
be interested, viz: Fill bottle with
urine and set aside for twenty-fou hours
or so, and if it shows Il brick-dust sedi-
ment or cloudy appearance, or if the
urine Is sc2dty or prOfuse, or If it is found
necessary to go often through the day, or
get up many times during the night, YOU
may be sure your kidneys need attention.
After careful inquiry we find Dr. Xii
mer's Swamp-ItOot, the great kidney, liver
and bladder remedy. is remarkably sue
cessfui in the quick relief and cure of the
diseases for which it is recommended.
There is hardly drug store in the land
that does not keep, and highly recommend,
this celebrated preparation for kidney.
liver and bladder troubles.
by special arrangement every reader of
the Washington National Tribune may
have Il sample bottle of DIR. KiImer's
Swamp-RoOt by mail, free (if theg have
not already had one), by sending their ad-
dress to DIR. kilmer & Co, Binghamton,

wavered. They are breaking! Cheer.
boys, cheer!' yelled Jack, and n cheer
arose that swelled TO roar from 10000
thrOats, more terrible to the enemy than
crash of musketry. 1t struck terror
into their wavering ranks, and they broke
and fled. Their brave. efficient officers
rallied them, and with flashing hayonets
they came charging back again. A volley
greeted them, but failed to stop them. As
the opposing lines crossed bayonets with
each other Jack saw an officer in gray
point his sword toward the colorS of the
10Th and heard him shout, Charge them.
nay braves, and take their colors. and.
followed by a group of men, he dashed
for the colors. Drive them back, boys;
drive them backr' shrieked Jack, as he
raised his gun to shoot the officer. At
that instant Il Young soldier in gray
sprang in front of the officer. his musket
at full-cock and the muzZle within six
feet of Jacks head, and as he did so the
