A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About
Kidney Troubles

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
analysis of the patients urine. He
Knows that unless the kidneys are
doing their work properly, the other
organs cannot readily 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 1913, 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.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence OF
mis- preparation, In most cases, Is
soon realized, according to sworn
statements and verified testimony OF
those who have used the remedy.
II you feel that your kidneys re-
ou1re attention, and wish a sample
bottle, write to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing

In correspondence to the Minneap-

from Christiania, among other things
the following:
1T needs but a short stay in Nor
way to satisfy even the casual observ-
or that public opinion now is over
whelmingly friendly to Great Britain
as against Germany. The country is
carefully neutral in every public utter
lnce, but the common talk of the
streets and in the lounging places is
much like that heard in London. There
is in Christiania, little Anglican
church, hidden away in one of the
poorer quarters of the city, off Moeller-
eaten. 1t excites no comment when
the king and queen attend the services
in that church, in which special pray
er is offered for success to British
arms, as they did last Sunday.
1.-THE service was impressive, and a
Observation-Disclosures was likely to feel
it come right home to him when he
heard that special prayer was said for
his gracious majesty, King George,
and for King Haakon of Norway, and
for the president of the United States.
Among the Americans now in Nor.
way, l have met is J. w. Arctander
formerly Of Minneapolis. With tireless
diligence, he is now in his old age

Norway. Not that he expects to prac
tise law here, but that he may while
here, have something to d."
