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 fullills 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 effects 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- _ Rent 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 the best. At drug- gists fifty cents or one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and a ; book that tells more about it, both sent ,absolu'tely free'by-mail, if on send your ~ address to Dr, Kilm’er a 0., Binghgm. ton, 'N.
