HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass with urine j and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sedi- ; ment or settling indicates a diseased con- j dition of the kidneys. When urine stains j 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, i kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inabil-1 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 j 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 Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
