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 pain in the back, wuthe liver, blad- der and every part of the urinary passages. It corzects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that up- pleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of etal Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most. distressing cases. If yon need a medi- cine you should have the best.
