Some Interesting Facts About Kidney
Troubles.
Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi
tion of the kidneys. *
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes a chemical an
alysis of the patient's urine. He knows
that unleis the kidneys are doing
their work properly, the other organs
cannot readily be brought back to
health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright’s disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths In 1912, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy Is Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most case.., is soon
realized, according to sworn state
ments and verified testimony of those
who have used the remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention, and wish a sample bottle,
•vrite to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham-
n, N. Y. Mention this paper, enclose
n cents and they will gladly forward
it to you by Parcels Post. *
Swamp-Root is sold by every drug
gist in bottles of two sizes—50c and
$1.09. _ (Adv.)

The only case that His Honor ren
dered a decision in was one concern
ing John Adams, a white man, who
told the court somebody had *‘dop d"
him, and two negro boys of about
seventeen or eighteen years. The
boys said Adams had been acting
a drunken man, and had annoyed
them. It seepis that a general flow
of unrhoire language had been u**d
by all of the crow', but, the negros had
not been very profuse in or loud in
their remarks. Adams said he h*d
drank two beers and some Jamaica
linger and it had effected him. Wit
nesses said he had had three bottles
of the “amber” on him and had aited
disorderly. The cases against the two
negroes were dismissed, and Adam*
