Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, nbitf tUscoarages and lessens ambition; beauty, •rigor and cheerful ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis eased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncom mon for a child to be born afflicted with ueak kidneys. If the child urinates too of teu, if the unne scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet ting, ae] iepend upon it, the cause of the diffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first step shonld be towards the treatment of condition of the kidneys aud bladder and not to a 1 habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men arc made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realised.

That frtJn'18M to 1870 the naedu- cited boy in the United States toiled entirely to become so notable m any dr pertinent of nsefuiaem and reputable endeavor as to attract the attention of the Who's Who editon, and that only 34 self-taught man succeeded. 3. That a hoy with only a common- school education had, in round numbers, » chance in 3,000. 8. That a high-srltool training increas ed tills rhance nearly twenty-two times. That college education added gave the young man about ten time* the cliauceofa high-school buy and two hondred times the cbanco of tlie boy whose training stopped with the com mon-school. Tliat the A. it. graduate was pre eminently success!al aud that tho self- educated man was inconspicuous. From tlie nature of tho case it cannot be claimed that these classiticatloiis are exact, but they aru based upon the fa! lost statistics ever obtained, aud the necessary estimates have been made by government experts. It is also doubt- true that other circumstances con tributed to tho success of these trained mon, but after all reasonable allowan ces are made tlie ilgnres force tlie con elusion that tlie more school-training the American boy of that period had the greater were his chances of distinc tion.
