The New Cure for kidney, BLADDER
and Uric Acid Troubles.

Almost everybody who reads the
newspapers is sure to know Of Swamp
sRoot, the great Kidney re NEEDY.
1t is the great medical triumph of the
nineteenth century; discovered after
years of scientific research by the en-
inent kidney and bladder specialist, DR..
Kilmer, and has truly wonderful pow
ers in curing kidney, liver, bladder and
uric acid diseases.
Kidney trouble is sponsible for more
sickness and sudden deaths than any
other disease, and is so deceptive that
thousands have it without knowing it.
Thousands owe their health and even
life to Swamp-R Root. and thousands more
who to-day think themselves beyond
help, can be made well by the use of
this great remedy.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, amorg the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have a sample bottle
sent absolutely free by mail. Also a
book telling more about swamp Root
