Too frequent desire- to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT To Do. There is comfort 1n the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish 1n relieving pain in the back, kidneys, live1, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef- fects following use of liquor, wine or beer. and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urin- ate. The mild and the extrao1dinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by dr uggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail.
