It used to be considered that only urin- / ary and bladder troubles were to be' kidn , but now modern early all diseases their beginning in the disorder of most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the blood— that is their work, Therefore, when your kid ys are weak or out of order, you can ur tand how quickly your entire hody is affected, and how e organ seems to fail to do its If you are sick or “feel badly,” begin taking the famous new discovery, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help ail the other organs to health. A trial will e anyone. and unhealthy kidneys are re- sponsible for many kinds of disease, and if permitted to continue much suffering, with fatal results, is sure to follow. Kid- ney trouble irri the nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and irrita- ble. Makes you pase water often during the day and obliges you to get up many times during the night. Unhealthy kid- neys cause rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of “the bladder, pain or dull aclie in the back, joints and muscles; makes your head ache and back ache, causes indiges- tion, stomach and liver trouble; you get a sallow, yellow complexion; makes you feel as though you had heart trouble; you plenty of ambition, but no zet weak and waste away. for these troubles is Dr. Kil- amp-Root, the world-famous kidney remedy. - In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help to nature, for Swamp-Root i1s the most perfect healer and gentle ald to the kidneys that is known to medicai science. \ If there is any doubt in your mind as to your condition, take from your urine on rising about four ounces, place it in a glass or bottle, and let it stand twenty- four hours. If on examination it is milky or cloudy, if there is a brickdust settling, or if small particles float about in it, your k’idneys are in need of immediate atten- tion. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is used in the leading hospitals, recommend- ed by physicians in their private practice, and s taken by doctors themselves who have kidney allments, because they recog- nize in it the greatest and most success- ful remedy for kidney, liver and bladder troubles. I SUFFERED FEARFUL PAIN. Swamp-Root Cured Him Permanently. W. J. 0’CONNOR, 8an Francisco, Cal. W. J.. O'Connor of the firm of J. O’Connor & Co., one of the oldest gro- cery houses, established in San Fran- cisco forty-two years at 217 Mason when speaking of the good and curative qual- street, becomes enthusiastic E. J. Dougherfy, a popular business man, located at 400 Ninth street, San Francisco, the picture of health and strength, which he ascribes to the use of Swamp-Root, is profuse in his praises of that remedy and recommends it to his many friends and patrons. This is what he said to a “Call” reporter con- cerning his personal experience with Swamp-Root: “I was troubled with a pain and weakness in the back, caused from an affection of the kidneys. I was troubled for over two years, and the pain became so bad that I had to give up my position in the railroad shop, where I had been working for seven years. I leit my job two years ago and am just now starting in business, It was through a friend of mine that I first used Swamp-Root. He had used it and he knew of my troubles and recom- mended it to me. I was despondent, but he was persistent and told me how he had been cured by the use of Swamp-Root until I was persuaded, though I had never used any proprie- tary medicine béfore and had no faith. I tried one bottle and found relief, and * no one needed to coax me to get the next hottle and the tMird. I used only four bottles in all, and was completely restored to health. Still, I was careful and did not return to work, but en- gaged in business, but I ‘feel strong enough to go to work any day—in fact, I never feit better in my life. I recom- mend Swamp-Root to anybody who is troubled with the kidneys and I deem \it my duty to tell people of it, for I know from personal experience what it is to relieve a sufferer and make him ities of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. He | is still a young man, but has suffered | from kidney troubles, and owes his} good health to the use of Swamp-Root. Here are his own words to a “Call” re- porter: “I was induced to try Swamp- Root at first from a sample given me by some friend who had used it and recom- mended it. That little sample did me | so much good that I decided to give it a { thorough trial, so bought a large bottle. I had suffered terrible pain in my back, caused by kidney trouble. I had doc- tored and taken all sorts of medicine before I took Swamp-Root, but they did not do me any good. I suffered great pain and my kidneys were in a bad state. Am glad to say Swamp-Root has cured me permanently. That was one year ago, and I have felt nopain in my back since, bending, stooping or lifting heavy articles. Before that I| could not bend, or liit anything heavy, without great pain. But now, even when I have a cold, the pain does not return. I am perfectly well now. I rec-| ommend it to all my friends, and lhcyl thank me for it.” e ———— ] well and happy.

In my humble opinion, and in the opinion of my friends who have tried it, there is nothing like Swamp-Root.” a Sample Bottle Will Be Sent Free by Mail.

He is not, as has been often stated, an Indian, but is a nearly fullblooded Spanish-American, as well shows. His father was a | o butcher and cattle drover. Young Cipriano had but little time in the schools, and that when quite a child. At a very early age he took to the saddle d spent his boyhood and youth as a llanero,” or man of the plains—a “cow- boy” in ‘our country. He took an active interest in the po- litical affairs of his country and in time | rose to be Governor of the province of Los Andas, which position he was hold- {ing when in June, 189, with sixty fol- lowers, he joined in the revolution against Andrade's Government and started from Cucuta on the raid which finglly landed him in Caracas as President of the Vene- zuelan republic. President Andrade, beaten in the field at all points, resigned on October 21, 1899, and fled the country. Castro, at the head of a victorlous army, was at once elected Provisional President by the Congress then In session, and from that time to the present continued to hold the office, Most of the troubles and foreign com- plications which .beset Castro were lega- cies from previous administrations, for which he cannot well be held responsible.

He had not been working for some time owing to the weak condition of his eyes, and had been heard to remark that he would rather die than go blind. About 9 o’clock he visited his fa house of J. G.

LOS ANGELES, March 21.—The Times will say to-morrow: Word was given out yesterday by one of the officers of the road that the Salt Lake road has pur- chased the Oregpn Short Line for about $5,000,000. This statement is made on the highest authority, and when the details attaching to the gigantic arrangement are fully known it will be seen that Senator Clark has meant real business from the very inception of his big railroad scheme. ! 1d an official of the roud yesterday Arrangements have all been made.

SALT LAKE, March 21.—The Tribune | to-morrow will print the following: | Chairman Gould of the Kig Grande sys- | tem has in view one of the greatest cut- off projects yet planned in shortening the lines of transcontinental railroads. This is not only a plan to shorten the Denver and Rio Grande, but the Rio Grande Western as well and create a through line from Denver to the Pacific Coast as | weliras from Salt Lake, The line from Denver to Leadville will | be shortened so as to secure a straight ! line between the two citles. Betweea | Léadville and Grand Junction many smaller cutoff lines will be constructed | to obtain line, grade and curve reduc- tions. In Utah the Green River-Salina cutoff | will complete the straight line from Den- ver and from Marysville, Utah, the ex- tension to Los Angeles will complete a | short line from Denver to that city. Another road.will be built from soma | point in Utah, on the line of the Rio! Grande Western, to conmect with the | Western Pacific. By these cutoffs considerably more than 300 miles would be eliminated between Denver and Salina, as compared with the present route via Pueblo and Thistle, a saving which would mean a day's rum practically and therefore is of the utmost importance in relation to a through line.
