 family.

HOW TO FIND OUT. 



Fill a bottle or common glass with 

 urine and let it stand twenty-four 

 hours ; a sediment or settling indicates 

 a diseased condition of the kidneys. 

 When urine stains linen it is a posi- 

 tive evidence of kidney trouble. Too 

 frequent desire to urinate or pain in 

 the back, is also convincing proof that 

 the kidneys and bladder are out of 

 order. 



WHAT TO DO. 



There is comfort in the knowledge 

 so often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's 

 Swamp Root, the great kidney reme- 

 dy fulfills every wish in relieving pain 

 in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder 

 and every part of the urinary passages. 

 It corrects inability to hold urine and 

 scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef- 

 fects following use of liquor, wine or 

 beer, and overcomes that unpleasant 

 necessity of being compelled to get up 

 so many times during the night to 

 urinate. The mild and extraordinary 

 effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. 



It stands the highest for its wonderful 

 cures of the most distressing cases. If 

 you need a medicine you should have 

 the best. Sold by druggists price fifty 

 cents and one dollar. For a sample 

 bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by 

 mail, mention American Bee Keep- 

 er and send your full post office ad- 

 dress to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham- 

 ton, N. Y. The proprietors of this 

 paper guarantee the genuineness of
