Tho bladder was created for one pur pose, namely, a receptacle for tho urine, and as such It Is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. The first way Is from im perfect action of the kidneys. Tho sec ond way Is from careless local treat ment of other diseases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid neys Is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the womb, like the blad der, was created for one purpose, and If not doctored too much Is not liable to weakness or disease, except in rare cases. It Is situated back of and very clote to tho bladder, therefpre any pain, disease or Inconvenience mani fested in tho kidneys, bock, bladder or urinary passage Is often, by mis take, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. Tho er ror Is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine nslde for twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling Indicates kid ney or bladder trouble. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilm er's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, and bladder remedy Is soon realized. If you nped a medicine you should have the best.

I have used his language, I have not presumed to change or modify his expression, but everything that a child would be likely to skip has been elided.' In Dickens there Is much which not only children but grown folks may skip without serious loss. The present ver sion of "Oliver Twist" Is decidedly su perior to that which Dickens wrote. o Volume four of the Philistine, running- from December, '96, to the pres ent merry month of May, Is now of fered by Mr. Hubbard to discriminat ing readers In a sightly volume bound in green chamois and some other In describable stuff. The Philistine repre sents a Worcestershire sauce effect In contemporary letters thai facilitates mental digestion even If it does some times Hood tho tear duct. Thero Is some humor In the story that Frau Waener the other day wrote nn odd letters to Hans. Rlchtcr in which sho said that she had met Brahms only once. Sho believed he was perhaps little Interested In Wagner's works, but that "his charac ter was too noble to allow any hostility to appear." As regards Urahms' writ ings, sho said thnt of all his famous works sho had only heard one a chamber musl'j piece. The coupling of the complaint thut Brahms was not sufficiently Interested in Wagner's music with the nalvo confession that sho had never taken tho pains to hear moro than ono of his works Is really delicious.
