The Eminent Kidney and Bladder Specialist.
The Discoverer of Swamp-Root at Work in
His Laboratory.
There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so' decep- tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it-beart disease. pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad- vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs. or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Then the richness of the blood-the albumen -leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the new dis- covery is the true specific for kidney, hladder and urinary troubles. It has cured thousands of apparently hopeless cases, after all other efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book lelling about Swamp- Root and its wonderful cures. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co .. Binghamton, N. Y. and mention this paper.

NANTUCKET AND BENJ. FRANKLIN. BY M. FOI.GER COLEMAN.
(Continued from last Tuesday.)
