tack the V1td1 organs, CduSlHS CdtdIIu OI the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell.
 Bladder troubles almost always result from derangement of the kidneys and cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel ing badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's SWamp-RoOt, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
 It corrects inability to hold urine and sca1ding pain in passing it., and over comes that unpleasant necessityof being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases.
 Swamp Root is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have sample bottle of this wonderful new dis covery and book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kill mer & Co.,, Bingha,nton, N. Y. When writing mention reading this generous offer ill this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp Root, Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot, and the address, Binghamton. N.
