A few evenings since a certain'
young man called on his best girl.
The conversation, just when he was

duty of citizens of the town to lend

The case of Miss Susan McCaf

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble
and Don't Know it.
How To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set
tling indicates an
unhealthy conai
tion of the kid'
rteys; if it stains
your linen it is
evidence of kid
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass it or pain In
the back Is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out ot order.
What to Do.
There is- comfort In the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists inSOc. and$l. sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of this
wonderful discovery
