Nothing to Worry About.
A'flcopy of the New York“Voicc,
mining: the abusive attack on Yale—we
might-1 almost say, libellous attack—has
coached us, and- has been read. It is
enough to say that when fanaticism
' takes the place of common sense the
fanatic’s statements should be taken
with a grain of allowance. In this case
several grains would not be too much.
The story of the orgies at Yale are, in
our opinion, very greatly overdrawn.
We, do not believe the students of the
university are going to perdition so
completely as the “Voice” would have

dents who are sober, industrious and
God-fearing. In our opinion, quoting
from a forgotten exchange, Yale is

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-fom
hou1s; a. sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. T00 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 in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilme1’ s
Swamp-Root, the g1 eat kidney remedy
fulfills every wishb in 1elieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, 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 extraordinary
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 druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and. pamphlet both sent
free by mail. MentionTHE GAZETTE,
