Fill a bottle or common glass with urine ’ and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sedi- ‘ ment or settling indicates a diseased con- ' dition of the kidneys. When urine stains | linen it is positive evidence of kidney I 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 I 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-1 ity to hold urine and scalding pain in ' passing it, or bad effect following use of , liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that i unpleasant necessity of being compelled J 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 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.
