HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it 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. It corrects inability 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 extraordi-| nary effect of Swamp-Root is soon real- j ized. 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 j 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.
