A majority of the ills afflicting people to

The symptoms of kidney trouble arc unmis
takable, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, sleep
lessness, pain or dull ache in the back, a
desire to urinate often day or night, profuse or
scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine
are signs of clogged kidneys, causing poisoned
and germ-filled blood. Sometimes the heart
acts badly, and lube casts (wasting of the
kidneys) arc found in the urine, which if
neglected will result in Hriglit's Disease, the
most dangerous form of kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Koot. It has a world wide

What do the Children Drink 7
Don't yivc them tea or coffee. Have you tried
the new food drink called GUAIN-O? It is
delicious and nourishing and takes the place
of coffee. The more Grain-0 you give tlie
children the more health you distribute
through their systems. Grain-0 is made of
pure, grairs, and when properly prepared
tastes like the choice grades iff coffee but
costs nbout 1-4 as much. All grocers sell it.

said to be "first in war, first ia peace and
first in the hearts of bis countrymen." It
is a great thing to be first. Nothing is of
morevalueto mankind and brings great
er Happiness tliau a good remedy. Many
thinus will relieve but the one that will
cure is best. Brazilian Balm is such a rem
edy. Tens of thousands have found that
it is the only thing that would cure Ca-
tarru anu Asthma. I'orlsyrs. it has nev
er failed in a single case to cure Asthma,
and its record has been as wonderful in
Catarrh. Cases that had, to all appearan
ces, run into Consumption, or where the
nostrilswereentirely stopped uporwuere
the poisonous pus had eaten 'holes into
tne tliroat an tnen deep, or where the
stomach had become ulcerated and raw
from swallowing the germ-laden matter,
were all permanently cured. Such a rec
ord, unknown to any other remedy, just
ly entitles the Brazilian Balm to the 'iirst
place in the regard of the American peo
ple. There are 20,000,000 Catarrh victims
and countless Asthma sufferers in this
country, all of whom can be cured with
Brazilian Balm. A if 1.00 bottle of Brazil
ian Balm contains a month's treatment
for catarrh or asthma, and for 6 months
we will wrap with each $1.00 bottle a
month's treatment of Toxicola Tablets,
