This is what he said to a “Call” reporter: “I had been suffering from kidney troubles for fully six months. Only persons who have suffered as I did can fully realize what it means. I am not a believer in patent medicines, but a near relative of mine advised me one day to try Swamp-Root, because it had cured her of similar troubles, and she was pr;vfute in praising it. She had been using it for some years and had become a firm believer and ardent ad- vocate of Swamp-Root as a sure cure for kidney disease. I bought only one bottle and used it, and the effect was wonderful. Would you believe it that I am completely cured and have not felt a pain, not even the slightest diffi- culty or inconvenience since then? And I never miss an opportunity to recom- mend Swamp-Root to my friends and acquaintances. I know that its use has been most effeitive it every case that 1 hear of.” Captain C. A. McNeill, owner and commander of the launches C. A. and T. J. McNeill, is one of the best known Francisco water front, with which he has been identified since 1887, as the pioneer who introduced gasoline launches on the bay of San Francisco. He is robust, hale and hearty, and claims that he owes his health to the timely use of Swamp-Root, nor does he ever tire of speaking to his friends of the beneficent effects he has experi- enced from the use of vamp-Root. This is what he told a coterie of friends and a “Call” reporter recently: “My at- tention originally directed to Swamp-Root through an advertisement in a2 newspaper.

DIRECTIONS, SWAMP-ROOT IS PLEASANT TO TAKE How to Find Ouisif You Need Swamp-Root. It used to be considered that only urin- ary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of | these most important organs. The kidneys illter and purify the blood— that is their work. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected, and how every organ seems to fall to do its duty. 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 all the other organs to health. A trial will conyince anyone. Weak 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 irritates the nerves, makes you dizzy, .restless, sleepless and irrita- ble. Makes you pa ater 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 ache in the back, joints and muscles; makes your head ache and back ache, causes indiges- tion, stomach and liver trouble; you get a sallow, vellow complexion; makes you feel as though you had heart trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak and waste away. The cure for these troubles is Dr. Kil- mer's Swamp-Root, the world-famous kidney remedy. In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help to nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect healer and gentle aid 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 glass or bottle, and let it stand twenty- four hours, If on examination it is milk: or cloudy, If there is a brickdust settling, or if small particles float about in it, your kidneys 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 is taken by doctors themselves who have kidney ailments, because they recog- nize in it the greatest and most success- it in a| Swamp-Root Cured W. dJ.

Dougherty, 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 railread shop, where I had been working for seven years. I left 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 persuaded, though I had never used any proprie- tary medicine before and had no faith. I tried one bottle and found relief, and no one needed to coax me to get the next bottle and the third. 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 felt 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 was ful remedy for kidney, liver and bladder tried it.” ~ EDITORIAL NOTICE.—No matter how many-doctors you may medicines, you really owe it to yourself to at least give Swamp=Root of ever becoming well again, If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root is what you need, y ) Don’t make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root—Dr. Binghamton, N.

Reichenberg of 1501 Post street, San Francisco, committed suicide at the Hotel Garin here early this morning. An examination disclosed the fact that he first took laudanum and - then tied a sponge saturated with chloroform across his face. The deed was calmly premed- itated. A dozen letters wese written to varlous friends, and one was addressed to bis mother in San Francisco. A communi- cation to the Coroner read: “I was born, if any one asks my age, Septgmber 6, 1882."" On an envelope containing the firm name of Louis Kline & Co., San Franecis- €0, was the inscription: “To be destroyed. til my estate has been settled.” He also directed that Louis Kline & Ce. of 108-110 Bush street be notified of his death and requested the Coroner to await instructions from them as to the disposition of his remains. No cause was glven in any of the missives left by Rei- chenberg for his act. . At the Coroner's office the envelope marked to be destroyed was opened. A typewritten legal blank was found drawn up as a release of claims, with the usual blanks to be filled out to meet any case. One blank at the bottom of the sheet was flled. The instrument was dated Aug- ust, 1%2. Reichenberg was a stamp col- lector, as & number of rare stamps and a | late catalogue were found in his effects. A letter from M. F'. Bixler & Co. of Cleve- land, wholesale jewelers, tendered Reich- enberg a position as traveling salesman through California.
