J McHENRY ILL ONE OR TWO WAYS P The bladder was created for one pur­ pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine and aa such it is not, liable to any form of dinea«es except by one of two ways. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. tThe second way is from careless locaf treatment of other disease. CHIEF CAUste, " « . Unhealthy urine from uhhealthy kio rieyrf is the chief cause of bladder roubles, ho the womb, like the bladder was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weak­ ness 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 kid neys, back, blahder, or urinary passage, is often, by mistake, attributed to fe­ male weakness or womb trouble of ebme sort. The error is easily made and may be easily avoided. To find out correcctly set your urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and the extraordi­ nary eflect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney and bladder remedy, is soon realized. If you need a medicine you should have the very best.
