Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned blood through veins and arteries. it used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin­ ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney Temedy is soon realized.

Among the troubles that beset mankind* rheumatism is one of the moet aggra­ vating. "I suffered with it for wer two years," says Mr. Roland Curry, a patrolman, of Key West, Fla. "Some­ times it settled in my knees and lamed me so I could hardly walk; at other times it would be in my feet and hands sol was incapacitated from duty One night when I was in severe pain and lame from it my wife went to the drug store here and came back with a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, I was rubbed with it and found the pain had nearly gone during the night. I kept on using it for a little more than two weeks and found that it drove the rheu­ matism away. I have not had any trouble from that disease for oyer three months." For sale by all druggists.
