There Is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp

wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. 1t corects inability

it, or bad effects following use OF liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect OF Swamp-R0ot is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its Won

tatlon against the United States on ac-
count OF the supposed unfrendly atti-
tude Of that country towards Russia,
which was slightly noticeable through
out the negotiations seems 10 have be-
come daily more pronounced; and, since
tho Vcksburg Incident at Chelnulpo,
American business men here are really
alarmed concerning tho possible effect
upon American trade.
Within the last few days orders for
American goods have been counter
manded. the only explanation siven be-
ing that the prospective purchasers did
not desiresto buy American goods under
the present circumstances.
United States Consul-General Watts has
felt 1t to be his duty to write to the
State Department, pointing ont the state
of public feelirg here, and the great
prospective damage to American trado
unless measures were taken to allay the
irritation.
Americans here believe that an official
explanation of the VicksburG incident
will DO opportune and have ai excel
lent effect. In government circles it is.
seen plainly I hat Russian susceptlbilities
have been wounded. and the fear is eN-
pressed that should Washington now dis
regard Russia and procure exeqllutnrs
for the newly appointed American COR
s,lls at Mlikden and Antung from Pekn,
and attempt to send those officials to
their posts a really unpleasant incident
might be created.
