Discovery, Swamp-Root, Every ''Journal' Reader
May Have a Sample Bottle Sent Free By Mail.

The way to be well 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 i'm
purities in the blood-that is their work.
Purifying your blood is not a question Of
taking a laxative or 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 already in your
blood. causing your present sickness. 1t
leaves there.
There is no other way of purifying your
flood except by means of your kidneys.
hat Is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they forget the kidneys.
When you are sick. then, no matter what
you think the name of your disease is, the
first thing you should do is to afford aid
to your kidneys by using DR.. kflmers
Swamp-Root, the great Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford nat
ural help to nature. for Swamp-Root is the
most perfect healer and gentle aid to the
