tack the vital organs, causing catarrh OF
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a arrangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid
news. Swanp-2oot corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp-R oot, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. It stands the highest be-
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. Atrial will convince anyone.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail. Address,

1t is exceedingly interesting to

w. w. Adams talk of their recent
trip to Cuba. DR.. Tompkins says
HAVANA, at one time the hot-bed of
all sorts of disease, is now the clean
est, best kept city he ever saw.
What a pity it is some of the
good things said about men after
their death were not said to them OF

What cheer and inspiration they
would have been to many souls

this popular store will be refreshed
by veritable sea breezes throughout

.Tamworth Pigs For Sale.

This celebrated English Bacon hog
crossed on the lard varieties, such as
Berkshire or Essex, is in my opinion
the ideal hog for this country. They
grow quickly and are more capable of
making a hog out of themselves in a
pasture than any other hog.
Meat is always nice and fine grained
with more lean than fat even though
your hog may weigh or hundred
pounds.
The only hog that if stunted while
a pig can be made hog.

We were delighted to learn
through Mr.. John Griffis of the con-
tinued Improvement of Mr.. ]. Cor

over heated while fighting fire. To
show how intensely Mr.. Bussey
suffered, while he was in paroxysms
of pain ten stalwart men could
scarcely hold him in bed.

This faithful creature always laid
an egg of the same size as the por-

Perceiving the hens intense am

Then the farmer greatly pleased,
put in the nest a whitewashed foot

barn he found an egg OK. but no
hen was in sight.

Mrs. ] E stallings, Aiken, S. c.,
says: For several years I suffered
from backache and rheumatism and
although I tried remedies and took
treatments I did not succeed in OBJ
tanning satisfactory relief. About
two months ago I heard of Doan's
kidney pills and procuring a box,
l began using them according to
directions. I can say that nothing
ever proved of as great benefit to
me as they. The pain in my back
was greatly diminished, my kidneys
were strengthened and the dull,
tired feeling disappeared. I have no
hesitation in giving Doan's> kidney
pills my endorsement"
