Kidney trouble hat become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born a M> c led with weak kid- lf»W' 1 5 neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the crine 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 ted-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of ihe difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first 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 *r.cst 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.
