Prompt Way to Cure Yourself When Symptoms Show That
Your Kidneys Are Out Of Order.
To Test the Wonderful Merits of the Great r1odern
Discovery, Swamp-Root, Every Reader May Have
Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely Free By Mail.
The way to be well is to pay attention

The way to be we'll is to pay attention
to your kidneys.
They are the most important organs
of the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys once every three
minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the
impurities in the blood-that is their
work.
Purifying your blood is not ques-
ton of taking laxative of physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are al
ready in your blood, causing your pres
ent sickness, it leaves there.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your
kidneys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the great
Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford
natural help to nature, for Swamp
Root is the most perfect healer and
gentle aid to the kidneys that is known
to medical science.

IT is said that for a short distance q
lion or tiger can outrun a man and
can equal the speed of fast horse, but
wild animals lose their wind at the
end of half mile at the most. They
have little endurance and are remark
ably weak in lung power. Their
strength is the kind which is capable
of terrific effort for a short time. 1t
would take six men to hold lion down
even after the legs were tied so that he
could not use his paws.

TURQUoIsEs are growing more and
