WHAT SHALL WE DO
A serious and dangerous disease pre-
vails in this country, dangerous be-
cause so deceptive. It comes on so
slowly yet surely that it is often firmly
seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may
be divided into three distinct stages is,
First, Kidney trouble, indicated by
pain in the back, rheumatism, lumba-
go, frequent desire to urinate, often
with a burning sensation, the flow of
urine being copious or scant with
strong odOr.
If allowed to advance, this reaches
the Second stage, or Bladder trouble,
with heavy pain in’ the abdomen low
down between the navel and the water
.. passage, increasing desire to urinate,
with scalding sensation in passing,
small quantities being passed with dif-
ficulty, s’ometimes necessary to draw it
with instruments. If uric acid or gravel
has formed, it will prove dangerous if
neglected.
The third stage is Bright’s Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that
Dr. Kilmer, the great kidney and blad-
der specialist, has discovered a Remedy
famous for its marvelous cures of the
most distressing cases and known as
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root.
