"As iB well known, in Lake county are many Indian mounds, from which, from time to time, many quaint and in­ teresting curiosities have been taken. Richard Compton, who lives near Volo, showed us a few days since a piece of an earthen vessel taken from one of these mounds which came from a vessel that was 45 inches across. It was brok- with the spade when digging. It had been made of clay and evidently was hand made, and showed genius and artistic skill. Now the question natur­ ally comes up, Was there not a race of people here before the native Indians who were far more intelligent and civil­ ized? It would seem so. It is now pro­ posed at no distant day to organize a party and open some of4 these mounds for the purpose of finding out what they contain. A Hurry Up Call. Quick!

If kidney trouble is allowed to advance the kidney-poison­ ed blood Avill at­ tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, brick-dust or sedir ent in the urine, head ache, back achc, lame back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous­ ness, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and better health in that organ is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kid­ neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and immediate effect of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest be­ cause of its remarkable health restoring properties. A trial will convince anyone. 1 Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and ia sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kilmer SL Co., Bingliamton, N. Y. When writing mention reading this gen­ erous offer in this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, and don't let a dealer sell you something in place of Swamp-Root-- if you do you will be disappointed. Official Publication.
