HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
if it stains your linen it is evidence of
kidney trouble; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so.
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp—Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in curing rheuma-
tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passages. It corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad elfects following use of liquor.
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day, and get up
many times during the night. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of-Swamp-
Root is soon realized. It stands the high-
est for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases. If you need a medi-
cine you should have thebest. At drug-
gists fifty cents or one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and a
book that tells more about it, both sent
absolutely-free by mail, if you send your
address to Dr. Kilmer 8: Co., Bingham-
ton, N. Y. When writing be sure and
mention that you read this generous
offer in The N ORWALK GAZETTE.
