The New Cure for Kidney, Bladder ano
 Uric Acid Troubles

Almost everybody who reads the news papers is sure to know of the wonderful cures made by pr. f<ilmers Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy.
 It is the great medical triumph of the nineteenth century; discovered after years of scientific research by Dr. Kilmer, the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and is wonderfully successful in promptly cur ing kidney, liver, bladder and uric acid troubles.
 Swamp-Root has been tested in so many ways, in hospital work, in private prac- tice, among the helpless too poor to pur- chase relief, and has proved so successful in every case that a special arrangement has been made by which all readers of The Sunday Age-Herald, who have not already tried 1t, may have a sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book telling more about Swamp-Root and how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. When writing mention reading this generous of- fer in The Sunday Age-Herald, and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Bing- hamton, N. Y.
