Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overcomes Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
6ltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning. brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is Dr.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri.
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for =

Arsenic Absorbed by Living Hair.

NfScH'S SNpSorpcu ny Living E'dH.
New light has been thrown on the
legal side of arsenic poisoning, says
the Scientific American. 1t has been
found that arsenic compounds are alb
sorbed by the hair of living persons,
though not absorbed after death. In
the hair of n man arsenic has been
known to reach a concentration of one
to five parts in 100000. The deposit
takes place in the hair after 1t has
been absorbed by the abdominal or
gans--liver and kidneys in particular.
Therefore, in cases Of acute, quick
poisoning, a chemical analysis of the
hair would show no arsenic, while 1t
would be found in the liver and kid
neys. On the other hand, if slow ar
senic poisoning were suspected an
alysis would show arsenic in the hair,
but not in the liver and kidneys, and
it could safely be assumed that the
poisoning was not recent. The legal
value of such evidence Is apparent.
