Every iJee-keepers' society of the 

 state of New York is requested to send 

 five delegates each to a convention to 

 be held at the Kirkwood, in the city of 

 Geneva, N. Y., March 16, 1898, at 11 

 o'clock, a. m., for the purpose of organ- 

 izing a Nevvf York association of bee- 

 keepers' societies, or state board of 

 apiculture. Each society represented 

 will have an equal voice in the organi- 

 zation, although they may not be rep- 

 resented by a full delegation. 

 By Order of Conference.

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD. 



A fact often overlooked, or not al- 

 ways understood, is that women suffer 

 as much from distressing kidney and 

 bladder troubles as men. The womb is 

 situated back of and very close to the 

 bladder, and for that reason any dis- 

 tress, disease or inconvenience mani- 

 fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or 

 urinary passage is often, by mistake, 

 attributed to female weakness or womb 

 trouble of some sort. 



The error is easily made and may be 

 as easily avoided by setting urine aside 

 for 24 hours; a sediment or settling is 

 evidence that your kidneys and blad- 

 der need doctoring. If you have pain 

 or dull aching in the back, pass water 

 too frequently, or scanty supply, with 

 smarting or burning — these are also 

 convincing proofs of kidney trouble. 

 If you have doctored without benefit, 

 try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the 

 great kidney remedy. The mild and 

 extraordinary effect will surprise you. 

 It stands the highest for its wonderful 

 cures. If you take a medicine you 

 should take the best. At druggists 

 fifty cents and one dollar. You may 

 have a sample bottle and pamphlet, 

 both sent free by mail. Mention The 

 American Bee-Keeper and send your 

 address to Dr. Kilmer «& Co., Bingham- 

 ton, N. Y. The proprietors of this pa- 

 per guarantee the genuineness of this 

 offer.
