How to Find Out. Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kid- neys. When urine stains linen it is sitive evidence of kidney trouble. Teo frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney rem- edy, fulfills every wish in relieving in in the back, kidneys, liver, blad- er and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, | or bad effects following use of liquor, | wine or beer, and overcomes that un- pleasant necessity of being compelled }to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the | extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If youneed a medi- cine you should have the best.
