Many women suffer from untold ag ony and misery because the nature of their disease is not correctly under stood. They have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for the many ills that beset woman-kind. Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism a dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weakness or bearing down sensation, profuse or scan'o sup ply of urine with strong odor, frequent desire to pass it with scalding or burn ing sensation, sediment in it after standing in a bottle or common glass for twenty four hours, are signs of kid ney and bladder trouble. The above symptoms are often attrib uted by the patient herself or by her physician to female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain relief, because they are treating, not the disease itself, but a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact, women as well as men are made miseraDle with kidney and blad der trouble and both need the same remedy. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and it is easy to get at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar. To prove its wonderful merits you may have a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolutely free by mail. Kindly mention THE COLUMBIAN and send your address to DR. KILMER & Co.
