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

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.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists i'll ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, DR.. Kill

mistake, but remember the name, Swamp

AppIes TO Produce sleep.

Apples are such a common fruit that
very few persons are familiar with
their remarkably efficacious medicinal
properties. Everybody ought to know
that the very best thing they can do
is to eat apples just before retiring for
the night. Persons uninitiated in the
mysteries of . the fruit are liable to
throw up their hands in horror at the
visions of dyspepsia which such a sug-
gestion may summon up, but no harm
can come even to a delicate system by
the eating of the ripe and juicy apple
before going to bed. The apple is ex-
cellent brain food, because it has more
phosphoric acid in easily digested shape
than any other fruit. 1t eXcites the
action of the liver, promotes sound and
healthy sleep, and thoroughly disinfects
the mouth. This is not all: the apple
prevents Indigestion and throat dis
eases. tr
