HOW TO FIND OUT
Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and
et it stand twenty-four honrs ; a sediment or
ettling indicates an unhealthy condition of the
: idneys. When urine stains linen it is posi-
ive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent
lesire to urinate or pain in the back is also
onvincing proof that the kidneys and bladder
re out of order.
order.WHAT
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so oftan
xpressed , that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root , the
; reat kidney remedy , fulfils every wish in re-
ieving pain in the back , kindeys , liver , blad-
ler and every part of the urinary passages. It
orrects inability to hold urine and scalding
> ain in passing it , or bad effects following use
f liquor , wine or beer , and overcomes that
inpleasant necessity of being compelled to
; et up many times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
iwamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the
ijghest for its wonderful cures of the most
iistrsssing cases. If you need a medicine you
hould have the best. Sold by druggists.price
