HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and letit stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney ‘ trouble. Too 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 remedy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. 1t corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effect following use of | | liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that l unpleasant necessity of being compelled | to get up many times during the night |to urinate. The mild and the extraordi- | nary effect of Swamp-Root is scon real- | ! ized. It stands the highest for its won- ' derful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medizine you should have | the best. Sold by druggists: price fifty ‘ cents and one dollar. For a sample bottle ' and pamphlet, both sent free by mail, | mention the Walkerton INDEPENDENT | and send your full post-office address to { Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.
