We have not heard from them as to how the turn out was. 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¬ lar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail, upon receipt of three 2-cent to cover the cost of postage on the bottle.

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.
