Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases Of the

eyes. bladder irritation, suppression OF
urine, obliged TO pass water often day
and night. WORKOUT. tired feeling, lack
of ambition.
If your water, when allowed to remain
undisturbed in a glass or bottle for
twenty-f0ur hours forms a sediment or
settling, or has a cloudy appearance, it
is evidence that your kidneys and blad-
der need immediate attention.
Swamp-Root has been tested i'm so many
ways-in hospital work, i'm private prac-
tice, among the helpless too poor TO pur-
chase relief-snd has proved so success
full in every case. that a special arrange
