 Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re- sponsible for more sickness and suffering than any other disease, and if permitted to continue much suffering with fatal re- suits are sure to follow. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and irritable; makes you pass water often during the day and obliges you to get up many times during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause rheumatism. gravel, catarrh of the blad- der pain or dull ache in the back. joints and muscles; makes your head ache and back ache. causes indigestion, stomach and liver trouble, you get a sallow, yell low complexion. makes you feel as though you had heart trouble; you may have plenty of ambition. but no strength; get weak and waste away.

cheering in these climatic changes, for with the return of cold weather, " all the disagreeable symptoms of Catarrh appear: binding headaches, dizziness, a stuffy feeling about the nose that makes breathing difficult, ch ,Gt pains, and as the disease progresses, a discharge of nauseat- ing matter from the throat and nose keeps one continually hawking and splitting.
 Catarrh is a most disgusting disease. The foul mucous secretions that are con- stantly dropping back into the stomach contarninate and poison the blood and is distributed throughout the body, and it then becomes a deep-seated, systemic, persistent disease that must be treated through the blood, for it is beyond the reach of sprays, washes, powders or ex- ternal treatment of any kind.
 S. S. $. soon clears the system of all Catarrhal matter and purges the blood of the irritating poisons, thus effectually checking the further progress of this seri- ous and far reaching disease.
 Look out for Catarrh in winter, for cold stirs the blood and causes excessive secre- ton of mucus and brings to life all the slumbering poisons that make Catarrh
 the most abominable NAA keeps the blood in .~ .~ ~ such perfect order A kry e that cold waves cause
 no alarm and the change from the heat of summer to the rigors of winter produce no hurtful effects. Write us if you have Catarrh, and our Physicians win advise you without charge. Book on Blood and Skin Diseases free.

 FOR EVERYTHING But if You Have Kidney, Liver or Bladder Trouble, You Will Find the Great Remedy Swamp
 Root, Just What You Need

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 nave their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs.
 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 fail to do its 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.
 Doctors Prescribe Swamp.noo
 Gentlemen:-T have prescribed that wonderful remedy for kidney and bladder complaints, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, with most beneficial effect and know of many cures by it's use. These patients had kidney trouble, as diagnosed by oth- CT physicians, and treated without bene- fit. pr. Kilmer's Swamp Root effected cure.
