> •' Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis- DOurages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfu'ness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order ' or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon . „ for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid- neys. If the child urin- ^ ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the fiist step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as ! most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. * The mild and the immediate effect of : Swamp=Root is soon realized.
