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 stains 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 comfort 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 liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up : many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp- Root is soon realized. It stands 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 h »ve a sample bottle and a book that tells more about it, both sent absolutely free by mail, if ybu send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham ton, N. Y. When writing be sure and mention that you read this generous offer in tbe Middle Georgia Farmer. Omsilfi To Tire Editor >—l have an absolute remedy for Consumption. By its timely use thousands of hopeless cases have been already permanently cured.

OF NEW YORK. Breaks The Dividend Record. It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the parucu ars of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: - Mr. Banks was insured for * • 22 The dividends amounted to Paid to the estate $17,028.00 How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, . he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. 1,233. Issued March 5,1845. Amount s s >°° o, Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life r Original insurance in 1845, • Dividend additions paid in 1898, * .1»,0a0.w ' Amount of death claim 54 Premiums paid by insured 8,640.0 U Realized to estate over premiums paid $8,888.00 Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2i) per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from so,Uvv at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 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 Eower of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of is method of investment—a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.
