HOW TO FIND OUT

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling usually In
dicates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. Too frequent desire TO ur1nate,
scanty supply, pain or dull ache in the
back, should also convince you that the
kidneys or bladder 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, kid
neys, liver, bladder and every part or
the urinary passage 1t corrects IN
ability to hold urine, and scalding pain
in passing it, or bad effects following
use of liquor. wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity OF be-
ing compelled to get up many times dur
ing the night to urinate.
The mild, pleasant and extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
results in the most distressing cases. II
you need a medicine, you should have
the best. Sold by druggists in fifty
cent and one-dollar sizes
You may have a sample bottle Of
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
and a book that tells all about it, both
sent absolutely free by' mail. Address,
