Fill a bottle or common glass with urine ’ and let it stand twenty-four hours: a sediment or settling indicates a diseased eon- ( dition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney 1 trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing < proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. 1 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. It corrects inabil- ] ity to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effect following use of , liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant 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 you need a medicine 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 .
