What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. 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. Ii 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
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-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its Won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

THE "soNE AGE. IN KANSAS,

The pioneers OF Kansas will never
forget the buffalo bone age" When

broken out" for the producing OF
crops. Nlne-tenths Of the pioneers Of
that section OF Kansas - and there
weren't many at that-had literally
nothing but team and n few house
hold goods that they had hauled from
the east In n single wagon. or course
there were no buffalo. for this was IL
the late seventies. but their bones
strewed the plains. and these bones
were the only thing that had a com.
mercial value. and they were utilized.
They were hauled In great wagon
loads 20 the nearest railway, often
from sixty 20 hundred miles away,
and sold. The horns were the more
valuable. and they went first. but the
rest OF the skeleton soon followed.
There were no fortunes made 10y these
early bone hunters. for large load OF
buffalo bones brought only from s. 10
s. nc the railroad towns. but the pro-
ceeds from n load enabled the settler
