People who fail to look after their health are like the carpenter who neglects to sharpen his tools. People are not apt to get anxious about their health soon enough. If you are "not quite well" or "half sick" have you ever thought that your kidneys may be the cause of your sickness ? It is easy to tell by setting aside your urine for twenty-four hours ; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trcuble. Too frequent desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull ache in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. There is satisfaction in knowing that the great remedy Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, ml. fills every wish in relieving weak or diseased kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary troubles. Not only does Swamp-Root give new life and activity to the kidneys the cause of trouble, but by treating the kidneys it acts as a tonic for the entire constitution. If you need a medicine take Swamp-Root it cures. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents und one dollar, or by sending your address, and the name of this paper to Dr. Kilmer & Co., inghamton, N. Y., you may have a sample bottle of this great discovery sent to you free by mail. WE WISH YOU ALL Christmas flammoth SOUTH MAIN STREET, in ossiog. llorrls O.

Happy Clothing House L. GOLDIN, Prop.. Prevent pneumonin A Prevention is always bettor than cure, oven when cure is possible. But so many times pneumonia is not cured that prevention becomes the natural act of that inBtinct of solf proservation which is " tho first law of nature." Pneumonia can be pre vented and is of ton cured by tho uso of Ayer's Chorry Pectoral. "Some years ago I hod a severe cold nnd was threatened with pneumonia. I could neither eat nor sleep, and was in a wretched condition. I procured a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the directions, and at the end of fifteen davsw as as well and sound as before the attack. I have recommended it in many cases of pneu monia since, and hare never known it to fail in effecting a care." JOHN HENRY, St .Toneph, Le. "I was attacked with a cold that settled on my lungs, and defied the skill of my phy sicians so that they considered me incurable. At last I began to use Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and was entirely cured after having taken two bottles.'' FRANCISCO A. SEVEUIAN0, Taunton, Maes. is put up in half-size bottles at half prico 50 cents.
