OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, JULY, 31 1903, M mm minutes Lisstsh. That is the average time spent in a large city restau rant by three thousand lunchers. It take three hours to digest a. fresh ecre sdft boiled. In fact, three hours is about the time required to digest the average twelve minute lunch. The object of the hasty lunch is to let the busy man get back to his office work. But when the brain is active, the stomach is inactive for lack of necessary blood. The natural consequence is indigestion, and indiges tion opens the door to many diseases. Indigestion is cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, and enables the perfect digestion and assimilation of food. $3,0130 FORFE37 will be paid by the World's Dispensary Medical Associa tion, Proprietors, Buffalo, N. Y., if they Cannot show the original signature of the individual volunteering the testi monial below, and also of the writers of very testimonial among the thousands which they are constantly publishing, thus proving their genuineness.

The Cause of Many f Sudden Deaths. There is a disease prevailing 111 this country most dangerous because so decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it heart dis ease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kid ney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to advance the kidiiey-poison-ed blood will at tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel ing badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and over comes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get rip marly times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have sample bottle of this wonderful new dis covery and a book that tells all about it, both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When writing mention reading this generous offer in this paper. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle. Lake Shore.
