HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an unheal
thy condition of the kidneys; if it stain*
your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble,
too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the
back is also convincing proof that the kid
neys and bladder are out of order.
. What to Do.
There Is oomfort in the knowledge so of
ten expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root,the great kidney remedy, fulfills ev
ery wish in curing rheumatism, pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every
part of the urinary passages. It corrects
inability to hold water and scalding pain
in passing it, or bad effects following use
of uquor, wine or beef, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day, and to get up
many time* during the night. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-
Root is soon realized- It stand* the high
est for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. At druggists fifty
cents or one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and a
book that tells more about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail, if you send your
address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y. When writing be sure and
mention that you read this generous offer
in th* Middui Gbomia Fabmkb.
No-To-Bac for fifty Cent*.

MUTUAL IHSuNCE GO
OF NEW YORK.
Breaks The Dividend Record.
It ha* always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa-1
ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars I
of which are riven her*, *how« that THE MUtUAL LIFE ha* in this in-1
stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: I
Mr. Banks war insured for tS’SSS’SS I
The dividends amounted to ,t.- • -.12,028.001
Paid to the estate.......; y ..$17,028.001
How doe* this happen? Mr. Bank* paid all the premium* in cash, and I
he did this for fifty-tour year*. He did not utilize any portion of the dm-1
dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invert these
for his benefit. Here are the partioulars:
Policy No. 1,288. Issued March 5,1845. • B ’ ooo, l
Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O, Plan. I
Originallnsurance In 1845, -I
Dividend additions paid in 1898,..12,028.00 1
Amount of death claim. 417,828, 001
54 Premiums paid by insured' 8,640.001
a « - « ■ I
Realized to estate over premiums paid.... $8.888.001
Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2D per I
cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from $5,00* 1
at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94.
The dividend additions paid to the estate were 189 per cent, of all the premiums
paid for the insurance.
Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings |
Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety'-four. He appreciated the
power of compound interest, and hi* wisdom is exemplified by the result of
his method of investment—a result that has never been equalled by a policy
holder in any other company in the world.
