(“B. B. B.”) that it is far the best

then went to Kentucky. 1 then

iwo months. Nothing seemed to
cure me permanently, although

A fact often overlooked, or not al
ways understood, is that woman suffer
as much from distressing kidney and
bladder troubles as the men. The
womb is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, and for that rea
son any distress, disease or inconve
nience manifested in the kidneys,
sack, bladder or urinary passage is of
ten, by mistake, attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble of some
sort.
Tbe error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty-four hours; a sediment
or settling is evidence that your kid
neys and niadder need doctoring. If
£ ou have pain or dull aching in the
ack, pass water too frequently, or
scanty supply, with smarting or burn
ing,—these are also convincing proofs
of Kidney trouble. If you have doctor
ed without benefit, try Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
will surprise you. It stands thehigh-
estfor its wonderful cures. If you
take a medicine you should take the
best. At druggists fifty cents and one
dollar. You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet, both sent free by mail,
upon receipt of three two-cent stamps
to cover cost of postage on the bottle.
