WAS VERY DESPONDENT.
Crawled Under Culvert and Laid Face Down-
wards in the Water.
Sunday afternoon the body of Mrs.
J oSeph Frank, aged 60 years, who had
been missing from her home for two
days, was found in Willow Brook,
Westport, near her home. She had
drowned herself by crawling under a
culvert which crosses the avenue and
lying down in the water face down-
wards. '
The stream was scarcely ankle deep,
but in the position which she sought
death it was possible to accomplish the
object. Mrs. Frank had been very de_
spondent for several weeks because her
husband was out of work and they were
very poor. ,She had a great dread of
going to the poor house or becoming an
object of charity, but no one supposed
that she would commit suicide.

Women Shonld Know it.
Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their dis-
ease is not correctly understood. They
have been led to believe that womb
trouble or . female weakness of some
sort is rcspo isible for the many ills
that beset womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes.
rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull
ache in the back, weakness or bearing—
down sensation, profuse or scanty sup-
ply of urine with strong odor, frequent
desire to pass it with scalding or burn-
ing sensation, sediment in it after
standing in bottle or common glass for
twenty-four hours, are signs of kidney
and bladder trouble.
' The'abOVe symptoms are often at-
tributed by the patient herself, or by
her physician, to female weakness or
womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to
obtain relief, because they are treating
not the disease itself, but a reflection
of the primary cause, which is kidney
trouble.
In fact. women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and blad~
der trouble and both need the same
I remedy.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, is the
great discovery of the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, and is easy to
get at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar.
To prove its wonderful merits, you
may have a sample 'bottle and book
t_-lling all about it, both sent absolute,
ly free by mail. Kindly mention THE
NORWALK GAZETTE and send your
ddress to Dr. Kilmcr & Ca, Bing-
