Do You Get Up
With a Lame Back?
t
Kidney Trouble Hakes Toa Miserable.
Almost everyone knows of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, be
cause of its remark
able health restoring
I [L properties. Swamp
" Root fulfills almost
every wish in over
coming rheumatism,
I pain in the back, kid
,"" I neys, liver, bladder
-?^=?\lj and every part of the
urinary passage. 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 unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
through the day, and to get up many
times during the night.
Swamp-Root is not recommended for
everything but if you have^kidney, liver
or bladder trouble, it will be found just
the remedy yon need. It has been thor
oughly tested in private practice, and has
proved so successful that a special ar
rangement has been made by which all
reade i s of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have a sample bottle
sent free by mail, also a book telling
more about Swamp-Root, and how to
findontif yon have kid
ney or bladder trouble.
When writing mention
reading this generous
offer in this paper and J
send your address to '? __
Dr. Kilmer & Co., H?D? ???55^B*^
Binghamton, N. Y. The regular fifty-cent
and one-dollar size bottles are sold by
all druggists. Don't make any mistake
but remember the name, Swamp-Root,

dress, Binghamton, N. Y.,on every bottle.

Old Landmark Burned.
Very early Saturday morning the

fire. The alarm was promptly giv

origin of the fire is unknown, the
flames being first discovered in an
upper front room. Mr. Asa Broad
water, the proprietor, was away at
the springs, but his family and sev
eral gue?ts were in the building. A
small portion of the household fur
niture was saved, but Mr. Roy Arm
field, one of the boarders, had prac
tically all of his clothing burned.
Mr. Broadwater carried SI,200 insu
rance on his property, and the own
ers of the building, Messrs, L. B.
and N. M. Jones had 81,000 on the
building. But for the heavy rain
which preceded the fire and the he
roic efforts of the firemen, the Hotel
DuBose would have been destroyed
also.

three or four months I suffered
considerably from a lameness in the
small of my back and I could not
get anything that would help me.
My kidneys were also out of order |

les, I procured a box. They stopped |
the pain and made me feel better in
every way: I consider Doan's kid

trial."
