Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid­ neys. If the child urin­ ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able i# control the passage, it is yet %ff!icted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first §tep should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people supppse., Women as well as men are made mis­ erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty- cent and one dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also pamphlet tell­ ing all about it, including many of the thousands of testimonial letters received from sufferers cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer fit Co..

It was a common custom with our forefathers to wear the garters of a pretty maiden either on the hut or knee, says the New York Press. Brides usually wore ou their legs a host of gay ribbons, to be distributed after the marriage ceremony among the bride­ groom's intimate friends. The piper nt the wedding dance never failed to tie a piece of the bride's garter around the stem of his bagpipe. The Lombard country girls used to wear daggers In their garters.
