HOW TO FIND OFT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let IL stand twenty-four
hours; n sediment or settling usually
indicates an unhealthy condition OF
the kidneys. Too frequent desire to
urinate, scanty supply. pain or dull
ache in the back, should also con-
vince you that the kidneys or blad-
der are out of order.
What To DO
There Is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root. the great kidney. liver
and bladder remedy. fulfills almost
every wish in relieving pain in the
back, kidneys, liver. bladder and
every part of the urinary passage. IL
corrects inability TO hold urine. and
sealding pain in passing 1t, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleas-
ant necessity of being compelled to
get up many times during the night
to urinate.
The mild, pleasant and extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. IL stands the highest for
its wonderful results in the most dis
tressing cases. IL you need medi-
cine. you should have the best. Sold
by druggists in fifty-cent and one
dollar sizes.
You may have sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root, the great kidney REM
edy. and a book that tells all about

sure to mention that you read this
generous offer in the Paducah Daily
