Life Saved by Swamp-ROOt.
The Great Discovery That Cures Kid
neg and Bladder Troubles.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases Of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discOv-
cry made. Doctor Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years Of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit announeedthedi discovery Of Swamp
Root, which has proven itself a most
wonderful cure for all diseases Of the
kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such a
remarkable success in curing kidney and
bladder diseases, It has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stomach
troubles and in-the regulation and cure
Of all uric acid troubles.
Swamp-RoOt has been tested in 50
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that a special ar
rangement has been made by which all
