Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order ' or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born " affKcted with weak kid- l- neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of SwampRoot is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty cent and one dollar sizes.

Y., on every bottle. The Ralegh Post refers to the "vile hypocrisy" in the appointment of Dr. Person to be postmaster at Wilson over S. U.

After i-aurippe What? Usually a hacking cough and a general feeling of weakness, often leading to faal results after the patient is supposed to have passed the danger point. Foley's Honey and Tar is guaranteed to cure the "grippe cough" and make you strong and well. It never fails to stop a cough if taken in time. Take no substitutes. For sa'e by R. L. Hamilton. The Concord Tribune very truth fully remarks that '"if every lie sworn to in the courts had sent a perjurer to the road there would be an abund ance of labor." 2 There exists often a very beautiful companionship between the mother and her daughter. The intimacy is frank, free and sympathetic. But some day the mother feels as if something had chilled this intimacy. The child is silent aud sad, and seems to shun her mother instead of seeking her. This change very often occurs when the young girl is crossing the bor der line of woman hood. She is mor bid, nervous, fear ful, as she enters8 upon this new ex perience. The use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription at such a time will do more than re store the normal balance of mind and body. It will establish the wom anly function upon a basis of sound health, as well as improve the appe tite, nourish the nerves, and the general physical health. " Two years ago ray daughter's health began to fail," writes Mrs. Dan Hall, of Brodhead, Green Co., Wis. "Everything that could be thought of was done to help her but it was of no use. When she began to complain she was quite stout; weighed 170 the picture of good health, until about the age of fourteen; then in six months she was so run down her weight was but 120. I felt I could not give her up as she was the only child I had, and I must say. Doc tor, that only for your ' Favorite Prescription ' my daughter would have been in her grave to day. When she had taken one-half bottle the natural function was established and we bought another one, making only two bottles in all, and she completely recovered. Since then she is as well as can be."
