no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption; delight she
bought a bottle and to her
found herself benefited from first
dose. She continued its use and af¬

One of Two Ways.
The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptable for
the urine, and as such it is not liable
to any form of disease except, by one
of two waps. The first way is from
imperfect action of the kidneys.
The second way is from careless lo¬
cal treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is tlio chief cause of bladder
trouble. Bo the womb, like the
bladder, was created for one pur¬
pose, and if not doctored too much
is not liable to weakness or disease,
except in rare cases. It is situated
back of and very close to the blad¬
der, therefore any pain, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, hack, bladder or urinary
passages is often, by mistake, attrib¬
uted to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly set
your urine aside for twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indi¬
cates kidney or bladder trouble.
The mild and the extraordinary ef¬
fect of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root,
the great kidney and bladder reme¬
dy, is soon realized. If you need a
mediejne you should have the best.
At druggists fifty cents and one dol¬

Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident of which Mr.
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, him was
the subject, is narrated by as
follows : “I was in a most dreadful
condition. My skin was almost yel¬
low, oyos sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in the back and
sides, no appetite—gradually day. Three grow¬ phy¬
ing weaker day by Fortu¬
sicians had given mo up.
nately, a friend advised trying‘Elec¬ groat joy
tric Bitters’, and to my
and surprise, the first bottle made a
decided improvement. I continued
their use for three weeks, and am
now a well man. I know they saved
my life and robbed the grave of an¬
other victim.” No one should fail
to try thorn. Only 50 cents per hot
tie at W. E. Maunders’ drug store. 6
Tlio battleship Oregon is slowly
steaming from Ban Francisco to
Hampton Roads. Bhe has to travel
more than half the distance around
the world to reach her destination.
If the safety of the United 8tat.es
depended on her reaching our east-
ern coast. from the western ono in
time to engage the Spaniards, then
tlio country would certainly suffer.
Now, if we had built that Nicaragua
canal which we have been fooling
over for half a contury 10,000 miles
of the distance the Oregon must
travel would bo cut off. Let Con¬
gress make a note of this.
I was reading an advertisement
of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy in the Worcester

never had to use more than one or
two doses to euro tlio worst case
with myself or children.—W. A.
