tack the vital organs, causing catarrh Of the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell.
 Bladder troubles almost always result from Arrangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by 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 scalding pain in passing it, and over comes that unpleasant necessity of 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.
 Swarnp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists i'll fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a 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.,, Binghamton, N. Y. When writing mention reading this generous offer in this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and the address, Binghamton. N. Y., on every bottle.
