What To Do.
There is comfort i'll the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-ROOt
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for it's wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in ffty-cent and one-dollar sizes.

Microscopic Detective.

Ehrenbcrg. prince of microscoplsts,
some years ago was employed by the
Prusslan government to investigate
case OF smuggling A case had been
opened. valuables extracted and the
case repacked and shipped onward to
Its destination. The only clew to the
criminals was that the unpacking must
have been done at some OF the customs
houses through which the goods had
passed. TO all appearances the mi
croscope had a hopeless task. Ehren-
berg took some Of the sand which had
been used In repncking, placed 1t un.

lay peculiar specimen OF foraminl-
fern. That animal was found only at
one place in the world and told Just
where the crime had been committed.
