Mr. Allon has only boon in tho Hold of

Parsnip Complexion.
It docs not rcquiro an oxport to dotcot
tho Biifforor from kidnoy trouble. Tho
hollow chocks, tho sunken oyes, tho dark,
puffy oirolcs under tho oyes, tho sallow
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physioinn would ask if you had
rboumatism, n dull pain or acho in thc
back or ovor tho hips, or a burning or
scalding in passing it; if aftor passing
I hero is an unsatisfied feeling, as if it
must ho at oneo repeated, or if tho uri no
bas a brick dust doposit or strong oaov.
When those symptoms uro prosont, no
time should bo lost in removing tho causo.
Dolay may lead to gravel, catarrh of
tho bladder, inflammation, oausing stop
. ,P?isC, and Bomotimos requiring tho draw
ing of tho urino with instruments, or
may run into Bright's disoaso, tho most
dangorons stago of kidnoy 1 rouble.
Dr. Kilmor's Swamp-Root, tho groat
discovory of tho ominont kidnoy and
bladder Bpooialist, is a positivo remedy
for such discasos. Its reputation ?B
world-wido, and it is so easy to got at
any drug store that no ono nood suffer
any length of timo for want of it.
However, if you pr* or to lirut test its
wonderful morits, mention TlIR KEOWKE

, Ask your physician this ques
tion, "What is thc one great
remedy for consumption?" ?
He will answer, "Cod-liver
?i oil." Nine out of ten will :
answer the same way.
Yet when persons have '?
consumption they loathe all
?* fatty foods, yet rat is neces
sary for their recovery and ,
they cannot take plain cod
i ; liver oil. The plain oil dis
turbs the stomach and takes
'? away the appetite. The dis- i
agreeable fLhy odor and
taste make it almost unen
M durable. What is to be done ? 1
This cuesti?n was ans? j
wered when we first made |

for all affections of the throat I
and lungs.
The baa taste and odor have been
'? taken away, the oil (bell ha? been
