her face, and was larger than when the
Boston physician removed it. There is
no question but that its origin was in

Swamp Root, the great kinney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver bladder
and every part of the urinary passa ges.

scalding pain in passing it, or bad

beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized
1t stands the highest for its wonder
