Nordqnist, who for the last thirty- eight years has conducted a blacksmith and Wagon shop in McHenry, last week disposed of his business interest^ to Jacob Diedrich, who resides near this place. The business et&erprise, which has thns fallen into the hands of Mr. Diedrich, was until eight year? ago the property of Nordqnist & Weber. Mr. Weber died abont eight years ago and ever since that time the business- has been looked after by Mr. Nordqnist, Mr. Diedrich's bc^her-in-law, Sebastian •fjerbst, who has followed the occupa­ tion of a blacksmith in Chicago for the past six years, will be in charge of the shop in the future. He is an expert at bis trade and his workmanship will no doubt merit a good patronage. Henry Simes, who has assisted Mr. Nordqnist in the shop during the past severs! years, has been engaged by the new pro prietor and will be found at the old standi at all times.

The 'Cause of Many" '*•{ ' " Sudden Deatlis* is a disease prevailing in thie country most dangerous because so deepe* tive. Many siKfcrJen deaths are caused by it--heart dis­ ease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kid ney disease. If kidney trouble is al lowed to advance > thekidney-poison- i«i»* ed blood will at- jans. raising catarrh of the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in the urine, bead ache, back ache, lame back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous­ ness, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from s 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 fe soon realized. It stands the highest be­ cause of its remarkable health restoring properties. A trial will convince anyone. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold^b^ all druggists in fifty-cent and ouc-doil^i* size bottles. You iu&y liavc a sample bottle and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. 'Kilzni:r & Co., Biuguainton, 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 left a dealer sell you something in place of Swamp-Root-- if you do you will be disappointed. ' voLa Petesch 'e for drugs.
