H ONE OF TWO WA YS. BftVfl The bladder was created for one pnrpose , Bftpfl namely , a receptacle for the urine , and as such pfl it is not liable to any form of disease except pfl by one of two ways. The first way is from im- Bftpfl perfect action of the kidneys. The second Bftpfl way is from careless local treatment of other diseases. P PJ CHIEF CAUSE. Bftpfl Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the I ftafl womb , like the bladder , was created for one P Bfl purpose , and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or disease , except in rare Bftpfl cases. It is situated back of and very close to Bftpfl the bladder , therefore any pain , disease or inconvenience - convenience manifested in the kidneys , back , Bftpfl bladder or urinary passage is often , by mis- | Bftpfl take , attributed to female weakness or womb l trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly , set your urine aside for twenty-lout | BftpJ hours ; a sediment or settling indicates kidney BftpJ or bladder trouble. The mild and extraordi- BftpJ nary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root , BftpJ the great _ kidney , and bladder remedy is BftpJ soon realized. If you need a medicine BftpJ you should have the best. At all druggists j fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a BftpJ sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by J mail.
