and as such it is not liable to any form i of disease except by one of two ways. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treatment of other diseases. ; CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid-11 neys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the womb, like the bladder, was creat-1 ed for one purpose, and if not doctored i too much is not liable to weakness or . disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the blad der, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb troubleof some sort. The error is easily made and may be easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney and bladder remedy is soon realized. If you need a medicine you should have the best. At druggists fifty ; cents and one dollar. You may have a , sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail. Mention the Independent and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & 1 Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
