This cute little baby has found home.

The little one has been looking for a
home ever since its mother went away

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Re
garding Health Statistics

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes a chemical an
aiysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are do
ing their work properly, the other
organs cannot be brought back to
health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1910, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves
us to pay more attention to the health
of these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is Dr. KiImer's Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its remarkable
record of cures.
If you feel that your kidneys re-
quire attention, and wish a sample
bottle, write to Dr. K1lner & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y. Mention this pa
per and they will gladly forward it to
you absolutely free, by mail.
