payers, and most upright citizens of
the county, and it is exceedingly un-

Kidney EOuDlS.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used TO be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the Kidneys
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect Of Dr.. Kilmer' S

soon realized. 1t stands the highest for its
