their health soon enough. If you are
mot quite well' or half sick" have
you ever thought that your kidneys
may be the cause of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine for twenty four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates an I'M
healthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
OF kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or
dull ache in the back is also convinc
ing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der need doctoring.
There is satisfaction III knowing
that the great remedy DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, fultills every wish in re-
lieving weak or diseased kidneys and
all forms of bladder and urinary
troubles. Not only does Swamp Root
give new life and activity to the kid
