ONE OF TWO WAYS. The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptable for the urine, and as such it is not liable to any form 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 kidneys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the womb, like the bladder, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back’ of and very close to the bladder, 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 trouble of 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 & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

Parents can help and prevent it. so they tell us in their letters, because it can be CURED The Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills 1 got from you for kidney trouble, were given to my son according to directions, and so well" were we pleased with the result after a few days trial, that I pur chased a full box of the Hobbs Sparagus Kindey Pills, and a box of the Hobbs ; Little Liver Pills. Before taking these pills, our boy had to get up at night, and very often wet the bed. At school he was forced to leave the room several tim is a day, on account of kidney and bladder weakness.
