CHILDREN HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE

Three years ago my little girl, An
gela, was taken sick with scarlet fever
and later drOpsy set in; her face and
limbs sWelled and her eyes puffed. A
leading physician here at the time,
treated her without the slightest sue
cess A sample of your Swamp-Root
having been left at the house at the
time, I resolved to try it, and as it
agreed with her stomach I continued
using it with gratifying results. The
Inflammation began to subside after
she had taken the first fifty-cent bot
tie, and after she took two large bot
ties she was pronounced cured by the
doctor and has been in good health
ever since. The doctor came to see
her every day and examined her every
second day until he pronounced her
kidneys in perfect condition.
Now then the doctor was under the
impression that I was giving my girl
his medicine, but as his medicine had
failed to do a bit of good, and desiring
not to offend him, 1 did not tell him l
was giving her Swamp-Root and he
did not know the difference. I did not
use one drop of his medicine after I
started my girl on Swamp-Root, and
have always felt that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root saved my girls life, for
which l am grateful.
I cannot praise it too highly.

Helping Kidneys
By Clearing Blood
A Function Greatly Assisted
By a Well-Known
Remedy.

Most readers will be interested to more
clearly understand why analysis of urine is
SO important In the use of S. S. S: to
purify the blood, it's action is a stimulant
to the myriad of fine blood vessels that
make up the constructive tissues of the
kidneys. All the blood from all over the
body must pass through the kidneys. They
act as testers and assayers. And according
to what they allow to pass out in the urine,
both as to quantity and materials, the
health of the kidneys and the quality of the
blood is determined. The catalytic energy
forced by S. S. S. is shown in the urine.
1t is also demonstrated in the skin. And
as the blood continues to sweep through
the kidneys the dominating nature Of
S. S. S., acting as it does through all the
avenues of elimination, shows a marked
decrease of disease manifestations as dem
onstrated by urine analysis. This assist
ance is a great relief to the kidneys. The
body wastes are more evenly distributed to
the emunctories their elimination is stim'
ulated by the tonic action afforded the
liver. lungs, skin and kidneys. Thus, in
cases of rheumatism, cystitis, chronic sore
throat, huskiness of voice. bronchitis, asth.
ma and the myriad of other reflex indica.
tions of weak kidney action, first purify
your blood with S. S. S., so it will enable
the tissues to rebuild the cellular strength
and regain the normal health.

cellOr Visits Us

Frank P. Hess, grand chancel-
lor of the Knights of Pythias
order in Idaho, was in the city
last Friday evening and Saturday
from his home in Wallace and
paid the local lodge of that order
a very pleasant visit on the even
ing of his arrival. After short
business session the lodge meet
ing was turned into a general
good visit, followed by a light
luncheon. Mr.. Hess found the
local order in a very flourishing
condition, both financially and as
regards membership, and stated
it is one of the banner lodges of
the order in the state.
From this place Mr.. Hess went
to Culdesac and then drove across
to Genesee.
